Pulled, smoke pork on a toasted buttered brioche bun with pickled pepper slaw and a side of steak cut fries. It's a pretty hearty portion so props for that. As for the pork, for the most part I liked it. It had a deep smoky flavor to it. Tender, juicy and just a tad bit too much on the wet side normally for me, but flavor wise I'll give it a pass for that. The slaw was cabbage, carrots, red peppers, pickled purple onions, mayo and vinegar. It had a nice crisp sweet hot flavor to it that pared well with the smoky pork. Had it just been these two things on here I'd give this sandwich the all go, but for some odd reason they decided to pile on more wet with this odd smoked aioli that was smeared on the top bun and it sent the whole sandwich from merely wet to over smoked sogginess. I always hear the term less is more when I watch some of these cooking shows on tv and I thin in this case they should have stopped at the pork and slaw, it really didn't need whatever that spread was. My suggestion is if you get it, ask them to leave it off, it will make for a better meal. I skipped the top of the bun on this just to avoid it. The steak fries were a good basic side. Here they weren't over or under cooked but hot out of the fryer. Needed a little more salt, but otherwise good to go. Second time around I got the brisket plate with side of slaw and a biscuit. 

Of note, you can get either of these as plates at $10 a pop or as sandwiches at $11 (guess you pat that extra $1 for the bun). It's the same slaw so I'll skip that here. The biscuit was okay as these things go in this town. It was a touch dry but I just added a bunch of butter to it and voila--very tasty. The brisket was actually quite good. Tender, juicy, fatty and with more of that smokiness the pork had. It comes with this tangy, smoky barbecue sauce that was fine, but to be honest the brisket had more than enough flavor on it's own it didn't necessarily need it. Of the two I liked the brisket the best and it's a pretty nice portion to fill you up. I'll mark this one down as a winner. Though had I gotten the pulled pork as a plate there would have been a tie probably. Just keep that in mind if you go. 

For the most part I'll say the new bbq meats here were a surprise and as a lunch alternative in the SOMA neighborhood a pretty good one at that. Portions are more than big enough and costs are right on par. As a resident of the area it's good to have new choices to pick from in a part of town that can be sparse when there's no game or it's a weekend. Now if we could just get someone to open a diner down here we'd be all set.
