There's not much point in complaining about high-tech barbecue. It serves a purpose, and it's here to stay. And no doubt the quality of it will keep on improving. But as the old barbecue joints slowly disappear, each one that remains becomes a bigger treasure.

tguerrero's Review of Carls Barbecue

Weighted Overall
5.7325
  • Sausage: Firm, but greasy
  • Sauce: Ketchup, black pepper. Not bad
  • Pork Loin: Tender, lean....but I suspect BAKING!
  • Brisket: Smoky, lean, firm, but NO seasoning
  • Coleslaw: Slaw should be 'slain.'
  • Potato Salad: Too runny and 'mayonaisy!'
  • Spare Rib: Sweetest rub o' the day, thus far. Sugar,
    honey, firm, slightly dry. Pretty good.
  • Atmosphere: Freeway-side location, adjacent private
    airport, VERY large stuffed animal in dining room
    (props for the stuffed animal--particularly as there
    was a hole cut in the ceiling to accommodate the
    tallest antler!)
