Phoenix wanted reviews, so I ended my couple years off from posting - this is review #3 tonight.
3x tries to Alamo - and we're done. They just arent good compared to what's out there,
I'll skip the negatives (though I will say brisket that's > 50% fat is not cool, and poppers should be at least somehwat hot). FB is rife with the downsides of this place. The lack of presence of cars tells you all you need to know. Winter will not be kind I think.
I'll go right to the recommendations. The two places on 104 are better, much much better. Rubbin Butts is a bit better too.
Wanna drive to Rochester instead? I would do so, as Mr. Sippy is 1000% better. 1.5x the portion at about half the price. And 250% better tasting for BBQ and sides. They are a super-friendly place to boot. We'll drive 40 minutes every time to not be disappointed and treated like we belonged there.
If you care they are Phantom gourmet blessed -

I really do wish the best for Alamo as it would be great to have a local BBQ place, but as it stands we'll be taking a drive to somewhere else.
