text: I was excited to check out Big Earls BEs and finally convinced two coworkers to have lunch with me We got to BEs around pm on a Wed and where was only two other tables occupied We were greeted promptly and shown to a tablennWe placed our drink orders and then put in our lunch request I ordered pulled pork sammie my friend ordered a brisket sammie The food arrived and visually was good looking We all ordered fries on the side and they were cooked very nicely Biting into the sammie I was really surprised at the lack of flavor It seemed more like a movie prop rather then a BBQ sammie I thought I would doctor it up by adding some sauce which is provided on the table regular spicy The sauce had several problems First the consistency was very liquidy and does not have the thickness of traditional BBQ sauce Sadly the taste was also absent and I was really really puzzled I switched it up to the spicy sauce and found that to have the same consistency I bit into the sammie and was once again really surprised at the lack of bite flavor and anything else you would expectnnWe ordered the cookie chipwiches dessert to go and those were good when we had them later One of my peers said I would not go back there for dry BBQ but I would go there for dessertnnI think this may be a case of BEs trying to be touristy friendly and have food that is safe and not too much flavor The place is really cute inside and they did a great job with the remodel The staff was nice and I really want this place to succeed It is in a great location and has TONS of promise but something needs to be reworked here Until then my peers and I will have to pass on BEs but it is worthy of another shot down the road
