This is a flat-out, no holds barred BBQ joint. I loved it.
Like any "joint," it has simple decor and the team focuses on the taste of the food.
We ordered two Pick 2 sandwiches, so we ate pastrami, brisket, pulled pork and burnt ends.
The brisket was a dream: falling apart yet still moist and flavorful. The others were also superb, and the sauces were wonderful, with Area 51 being our favorite.
The Caesar and potato salad were good and true to american tastes, although I wouldn't have turned down a little pickle relish in the potato salad.
Cole slaw was absolutely perfect and matched well with each meat. Cole slaw belongs on the sandwich, of course, in case you were wondering.
I think I choked back a few tears over the baked beans. They were smoked to perfection, the sauce was perfect. The only problem I had was I couldn't order a quart to take home with me.
Closed on Sundays, so my fantasy of picking up a to-go order as I left Nuremberg was sadly zerplatzt.
This is American fine dining to me.
