I had only tried Terry's once several years ago. At the time, I thought it was just ok. But I think I got the lean brisket at the time. Finally came back, ordered fatty brisket, and the food was great. Not the absolute best BBQ I ever had but still solid.
This was an expensive tray of food though, $46 with tax and tip included. I thought I would just take any leftovers back home with me though. Started eating outside, walked away from my table to grab BBQ sauce and utensils, only to see birds stealing my mac and cheese. With all the birds swarming around me, I gave up and brought my tray inside. Finished 3/4 of my meal and briefly left my table to get a to-go box. By the time I got back, my leftover tray got thrown out 😭.
Obviously this was my own fault. I left a mostly finished tray in a busy restaurant with no assigned seating. Of course a busboy was going to throw it out. Lesson learned if I ever come back.
