CLOSED.2008: They refused to sell ribs a la carte, and I wasn't going to order a half slab based on how the ones on the chopping block looked. The brisket was moist, but flavorless and lacking smoke of any kind. The hot sauce on the table was the tastiest item.

www.dannydbbq.com/Danny D's has the look of a joint that made me hopeful. The brisket was not the standout that validated my impression. It was a bit dry with a thin smoke line, but it had decent flavor and smoke. The baby back ribs were quite good though. They had a generous crust with good smoke flavor and a nice subtle rub. They were cooked perfectly, and I enjoyed several.

www.northmainbbq.com/A buffet is available here, but we decided on sliced brisket and ribs. The spare ribs were large and meaty. They were tender and had a smoky crust, but had just decent seasoning. The brisket was also tender, smoky and had a nice crust. The smoke flavor was lacking outside of the crust, but it was overall a good brisket. This might not be the best place in the state, but it is the best in the neighborhood.

DISCLAIMER:
Each joint is judged on the essence of Texas 'cue...sliced brisket and pork ribs. Sausage is only considered if house made. Sauce is good, but good meat needs no adornment to satisfy. Each review can only be based on specific cuts of meat on that particular day. Finally, if the place fries up catfish or serves a caesar salad, then chances are they aren't paying enough attention to the pits, so we mostly steered clear.
