BBQ restaurant in Indiana. I already knew it would be mediocre at best. But why did they have to treat the brisket as poorly as possible

  1. That looks way more like a pot roast instead of a brisket. It’s pretty impressive that they messed it up that bad

    I’m not sure I’d even feed that to my dog. I love my dog too much to put him through that.

    Yeah, dont eat bbq here. It’s astonishingly bad.

    “What do you want bud, you said you wanted a good bark on it–does that not look *exactly* like tree bark? You’re welcome for a job well done. *Very* well done.”

    -Chef, probably

    That’s not brisket, that’s over done pot roast

  6. This is one of the many reasons I make my own bbq here in Indiana.

    This is what I think when people say they get 3 meat plates for $18

    Well. Having been an Indiana resident 15 years ago, doesn’t look much has changed.

    JFC, that’s bark, but not good bark, like down the park bark. Bloody Nora!

    Everybody keeps saying pot roast, but I could pop a roast in the crock pot with a bottle of beer and it look better than THIS.

    This is sliced wrong too, with the grain instead of against.

    Good BBQ is not very easy to find here in Indiana. I stick to my own pit otherwise I’m disappointed

    This makes that guy’s Sea World brisket look like a blue ribbon winner 🤣

  14. Besides the look of it, they sliced it *with* the grain. WTF are they even doing?

    I like my brisket cut the long way…

  16. I am almost sure that is not brisket. I think you were subjected to light fraud.

  18. I lived in Indiana for a few years. Every bbq place I tried, the bbq was just microwaved meat with bbq sauce on top. Complained about it to some friends back home, they mailed me a bunch of bottle of bbq sauce.

  19. Petition to revoke Indiana statehood. Trade it to Canada for some trees or something

  20. Man people can make anything out of old pallets.

    How do these restaurants even stay in business? Do the patrons not realize how much better the brisket could be?

    The best brisket I have had was in Indiana at Hickory Hills in Edinburgh. Unfortunately it’s under new ownership and nothing is good there anymore. There was a brisket place in Nashville, IN that lasted less than a year because the brisket was so bad. If anyone knows of a good place please let me know. The best place I know of now is City BBQ chain.

    That is truly grim.

    On the bridgt side, run a planer over it and you could start building a deck.

  25. Y’all being in these states thinking “Ya know, when you’re in Indiana ya gotta try the brisket.” Just stop. Go to Arby’s or something.

    When I go to a place that I know is going to be subpar I stick with pulled pork or a burger.
