That Bar-B-Q Place
My friend and I ventured down to Sherwood Park recently to try That Bar-B-Q Place. The family-owned restaurant serves different types of Southern BBQ (beef brisket, pulled pork, turkey breast, and ribs). The BBQ can be ordered in a sandwich or in dinner platters. For sides, you can choose from coleslaw, corn bread, baked beans, and potatoes (mashed or baked). The food gets heavy so I would suggest coming here for dinner instead of lunch. It’s a fast-casual style restaurant where you order, pay, then wait for your food to be brought out to you.
Pulled Potato $12.99
I knew I had to order their famous creation when I heard about it. The Pulled Potato is a baked potato piled high with your choice of brisket or pulled pork, smoked cheddar, coleslaw, Louisana mayo, BBQ sauce, and pickles on top. It also came with a few potato chips – as if you need more potatoes right?! I decided to get mine with pulled pork and no pickles. The pulled pork was tender and there was a good amount of it. The coleslaw added a refreshing touch to the otherwise heavy item. I found the whole thing to be very filling even though it wasn’t accompanied with a side like the rest of the menu items. It was a bit too saucy towards the end though. The Pulled Potato was good but wasn’t anything spectacular. I do recommend trying their housemade hot BBQ sauce with the pulled pork for a hint of spice.
Beef Brisket Sandwich $12
My friend had the regular-sized beef brisket sandwich, which comes with one homemade side. At first bite, he found the brisket to be very dry. I tried a bit and I would have to agree that it was way too dry to eat. He informed the owner who told us that the meats were made without sauce. He brought him a new beef brisket sandwich which tasted more moist but the dryness still lingered. For his side, he decided to go with garlic, creamy whipped potatoes. It certainly tasted homemade!
I wouldn’t go out of my way to stop by this BBQ place but if you’re around the area, stop by and try the Pulled Potato for something different! They also offer family platters which seems like a good deal if you’re with a group of people. It’s located between Costco and Millennium Place, or in the same area as Sumo Sumo.
