A review is a structured editorial regarding a specific visit to a joint. In addition to the commentary, each joint is given ratings for main fare, other fare, and atmosphere.
Atmosphere: Simple red corrugated siding and a nice awning. Liquor store next door. Cool and dark inside with pool table and country music. Looks more like a beer joint than a BBQ joint. Great pictures including Earl, Miss Texas, and Bush
Coleslaw: Standard, but good. Beans: Pinto. Standard, but good. Beef: Good cut/prep but dry. Weak spice not improved by sauce. Potato Salad: Bland and sour – pickles? Atmosphere: Nice hist

Atmosphere: Lunch shack/diner looking kind of place. Big lunch crowd and red and white checkered table cloths. They got burgers and fries. There’s a cutey serving us which definitely a plus. Beef: I’m not happy here. Cardboar
Dessert: Cheesecake is good! We decided to have dessert, since this was the last place on this year’s tour. A good way to end another successful year. Thanks everyone! Quotable: ‘You’re in pecan country, now.’ — Pit Boss
