I won't even sell somebody a barbecue unless they get cole slaw. If they want a barbecue and they don't want cole slaw, there's something wrong with that person.  It all goes together. You've got to have cole slaw and hush puppies with barbecue.

ssweeney's Review of Lees Hickory Smoked BBQ

ssweeney's picture
Weighted Overall
6.545
  • Coleslaw: Good mayo-based slaw; Leaves are fresh & crisp; Nicely spiced.
  • Beans: Ranch style - good; flavored with chili powder. Soft, but cool.
  • Beans: Tangy, soft backed beans. Bland on the finish.
  • Pork Loin: Good meat & texture. Don't notice any off-flavor here.
  • Atmosphere: Good structure with the smokehouse on the side (behind the serving counter); Huge rural mailbox on the road; Across from RR crossing. Inside has exposed ductwork and a few flies buzzing around.
  • Hot Link: Good beefy flavor; nice consistency. Not too greasy; casing is a bit tough. Mild spice on the finish - nice.
  • Sausage: Similar to hot link, but more greasy. Has less beef & spice than the hot link. OK.
  • Spare Rib: Juicy rib with chewy ends. Also a victim of flare-up, but creosote is comparatively less noticable than on the brisket. There is a sweetness in the rub, but no spice on the finish.
  • Potato Salad: Creamy, yellow PS. Nice pickle flavor. Solid mustard-based product.
  • Brisket: End piece is brown & crispy... Ugh! Flare-up problems - strong creosote taste. Darnit.
