Uncle's BBQ

We've been watching for this place to open for awhile, and gave it a try for a family dinner a short while ago. Sure glad we did!  Overall an excellent experience.

Our order included a 3 meat platter, pulled pork sandwich, tacos, a baked potato, and dessert.  We ordered online late in the day.  As often happens with a good BBQ place, they were out of the ribs I ordered, and also 2 of 3 desserts.  But they called right away to let me know and offer a substitute on the meat.  

The headline product is BBQ, so we'll start with the meats.  I ordered moist brisket, sausage, and turkey.  The moist brisket is truly moist, nice and tender, and had a good smoke on it.  The sausage was great, a very balanced flavor--not too smoky or chewy, but not Polish either.  The turkey was moist and tender.  The sauce provided was very good--had a little kick to it and complemented the meats wonderfully.  The meats are lightly seasoned--this is sauce-oriented barbecue and is well executed.  

The pulled pork sandwich was one of the best we've had--we ate a lot more of it than we intended.  Great smoke flavor on the pork, and very tender.  The tacos were quite delicious and the potato was well received.

The sides were a mix--we had green beans, which were cooked southern-style (soft) and had great pepper and onion flavor.  No bacon that I could discern, so they might be vegetarian friendly.  We also had the shrimp fried rice, which was somewhat less successful.  Basically popcorn shrimp heated up with brown rice.  They should either kick that up a level or take it off.

Dessert was more of an adventure.  They were out of both apple crisp and pecan pie, but they had some banana pudding left.  I had ordered the pecan pie online, and to make up for it they offered 2 banana puddings.  We had ordered another banana pudding, and ended up with 2 total, so we were shorted just a little.  But the pudding itself was wonderful--creamy with great banana flavor.  I think you wouldn't miss with any of them.

They have a very broad menu so future visits will have many new things to try--we didn't get into the hot dogs, burgers, or empanadas.  They are close to the Corkscrew/Franklins/etc level and may yet get there.  4.5 stars rounded up.
