If you're venturing into the world of BBQ joints, you might have heard whispers about LC's Bar-B-Q being a top contender. I had to check it out for myself. Walking in, I was hit with the unmistakable aroma of smoked meats, though I had to tread carefully on the greasy, slick floors. It's a place with character, where the decor screams authentic BBQ.
The brisket, thinly sliced and drenched in sauce, was alright, though it didn't quite live up to my post-Austin BBQ standards. The turkey sandwich was a hefty serving, slathered in a tasty sauce that almost made me forget it reminded me of deli meat. The baked beans? A definite win. But the sausage had a burnt edge and a breakfast-like flavor that didn't quite hit the mark for me. And while the smoker behind the counter promised a carnivore's dream, some of the burnt ends were tough, challenging my jaw more than my taste buds.
Despite the mixed bag of meats, there were highlights. The ribs boasted an exceptional bark, and the sauce was spot-on, a perfect complement to the smoky flavors. And if you're not a fan of sauce on your smoked meat, just give the team a heads up—they're all about making your meal right. Just remember, LC's Bar-B-Q is a place of contrasts, where the excellent may sit side by side with the not-so-great. It's an experience, to say the least, and one that any BBQ aficionado should try at least once.
