Recently, I ventured to Hamilton Pork, a spot that's been on my radar due to its unique ambiance and intriguing menu. The journey to the restaurant was a bit of a trek, but the promise of good barbecue was a strong lure. Upon arrival, the brisket and pickled vegetables did not disappoint, offering a tasty and well-balanced flavor. However, the baby back ribs were a letdown, being overly sweet and slightly tough, which was unexpected given the restaurant's reputation.
The sides at Hamilton Pork, however, were a highlight. The Mexican street corn and sweet mashed potatoes were simply delightful, elevating the entire meal. While the main dishes like the barbecue burger struck a good balance, not being too greasy or salty, some of the other offerings like the chicken wings and jalapeño cornbread from previous visits seemed to have taken a downturn in quality, coming across as overdone and lacking freshness.
Despite these mixed experiences, the vast selection of tequila and mezcal, along with some standout dishes, make Hamilton Pork a place worth trying, especially for those who appreciate a good drink and a vibrant atmosphere. Just be sure to ask about the best dishes of the day and maybe skip the overly sweet BBQ sauces!
