4 /5 G Murphy: I have driven past Hamaknockers BBQ without stopping for years now. Either, I was, pressed to meet a schedule, it wasnt meal time, or late to get back home. Today, I wasnt on a schedule and it was lunch time, so I stopped to check it out.
The restaurant is clean as a whistle, including the restroom. The employees are super cheerful and helpful. They seemed to truly enjoy working here.
I ordered the large brisket sandwich and it comes with a small bag of chips. The sandwich was a decent size, and smelled great. I opened the sandwich to find that quite allot of the brisket was fat, not marched far, the top slice was at least 1/3 fat. The bottom slice was heavily marbled with fat but not solid like the top slice. There may be some folks that love that pure fat, but Im not a fan.
I removed the big hunks of fat, added some of the"Hot" BBQ sauce, and took a bite.
The brisket was cooked well, tender, moist, and flavorful. I didnt eat the chips, but who reviews a bag of chips!
My only complaint is the large proportion of fat to meat ratio in this particular sandwich. This is BBQ and the is always variation from serving to serving. Your sandwich will likely be different. However, I can only review the sandwich that I was served. Once I removed the party I dont like, it was a good sandwich!
I recommend Hamaknockers BBQ as a reliable place to get good BBQ. I hear that the pulled pork is great so Ill give the pulled pork sandwich a try next time.
Dont do as I did and wait, give Hamaknockers BBQ a try, I think youll be really glad you did.
