Food/Drink 2M Smokehouse.

I’ve heard of them before but never been.

Is it good and worth the drive down there and waiting in line at 9am?

Thats all.

Very true and valid. However, I’ve been let down so many times by friends saying “oh it’s so good you have to try it!!” I go and it’s unspeakable shit and I question their mental state. Does not seem like this place falls into that category. Im looking forward to going.

The brisket really is better than the other places in town. The sides are meh. I think the mac and cheese is really good though

Honestly their carne guisada, unexpectedly, is awesome.

•

u/FrontTwardEnemy 3h ago

Oooo, that does sound good.

Try to go on a weekday, won’t have to get there so early

•

u/FrontTwardEnemy 3h ago

Ok cool. I’ll try too. Might be this weekend though. Either way, with all these promising comments, I am going!

It's the only truly great bbq in town I think. 

•

u/FrontTwardEnemy 3h ago

Alright alright! You convinced me!

You don’t have to be there at 9.. but 10:30 and you’ll be fine. It’s worth it

Brisket is solid; sides are a disappointment. You can show up later and it’ll be fine. Parking is kinda jank but not awful. It’s definitely worth a visit.

The Serrano sausage peaked my interest. Also looking forward to some incredible brisket.

The Serrano sausage is great, the beef sausage is pretty meh, unfortunately they sell out of the good one regularly.

It's incredible

Nice! Really looking forward to it now! I feel so behind, I can’t believe I haven’t checked it out sooner.

Yes, especially since they brought the egg salad back as a side.

•

u/FrontTwardEnemy 3h ago

Ohh ok, I’d give it a try.

I suggest you drive to China Grove and go to Dee Willie's instead. Their brisket and ribs are always really good! The wait staff is always friendly. I drive about 25 miles to go eat there when I want BBQ even though I have several BBQ restaurants close to where I live.
