brioche, aioli, siracha slaw, no table service, filthy water station, liquid smoke, slab benches, weird beer choices (blue moon, really?), sticky tables, flies everywhere...and prices that you could buy a whole brisket and a kettle grill yourself. But hey, the people making your food are wearing black gloves!

You know you're in a legit bbq joint when they throw a massive slab of meat on your trey with a side of beans and charge $7

Everyone thought we were nuts when we opened scratch kitchen BBQ joint in "tapas alley" in spain.

I tried to explain to everyone you CANNOT open a decent mom & pop restaurant in the US anymore, it's just not feasible.

Everyone gave us 6 months and that was 4 months before COVID hit & we're still kickin'.

There needs to be a serious overhaul in the US foodservice industry...we need to get back to our roots & make opening a sustainable location feasible again otherwise (you) are gonna be stuck with Applebucks Fridays!

I went to Rudy's BBQ a while back and surprised that $10 gets you nothing.

That is surprisingly expensive. I can get nothing at home for free.

Legit have had three places try to open in the same location with this exact menu. Ffs they fail every time after like 3 months.

No joke, one of these joints replaced an old pizza place in a nearby neighborhood. Paid over $70 to feed 3 people the dryest tiny portions I’ve ever had at a bbq place.

Service was also terrible, over an hour wait for that garbage (with only about a third of the restaurant occupied) with a 20 minute wait for fountain drinks.

The thing is that if you are serving it like this your BBQ had better be the shit and 99% of the time it’s not.

They raised prices AND cut portions, which is just infuriating. I went to a mom and pop comfort food place recently and the prices were ok but the portion sizes were huge. I'm going to go back often.

i'll readily go to a restaurant that's a little more expensive if the food is good quality and the portions are plentiful. but shrinkflation absolutely boils my piss
