The smoked brisket
Brisket is the runaway favorite in Google’s review topics, named in 193 reviews. A half pound of Texas-style brisket, smoked 12-plus hours, is $20 on the menu, with pickles, pickled onions and cornbread.
RV tip: go for a late lunch on a weekday. The promenade is quieter, garage spaces are easier to find, and the menu is the same all day.
