ssweeney’s Review of Big Earls
Big Earls
  • Brisket: Smokey… even though they cut off the bark & smoke ring. Tender & falling apart, but not ‘juicy’. Good, but just a tad chewy on the finish.

  • Coleslaw: Crunchy, with a thin dressing… black pepper for spice. Nice.

    • Sauce: Sweet with black pepper. Tangy with black pepper. Corn starch for thickener?

    • Sausage: Good meaty flavor & smoke balance. Black pepper adds spice on the finish. Casing is thick, but tears away easily.

    • Atmosphere: Nice joint feel. Good patio area, with smokehouse right behind. Several barrel pits around the outside of the joint. BYOB. Cafeteria-style serving line. Nice folks, and they give a good tour.

    • Spare Rib: HOT…ouch! Just off the pit. Good rub. Nice meat flavor and smoke balance. Rich meat. Good texture. Very good rib!

    • Potato Salad: Good, although somewhat bland.

    • Beans: Standard issue pintos.
