Mesquite BBQ has been a downtown Mesquite staple for over 50 years. They just recently completely remodeled the restaurant and it looks very nice. They were shutdown for several months, which built up significant BBQ demand in downtown Mesquite. When we got there the line was backed up to the door. Unfortunately the line ahead of us was most of the staff of our church - CLife. I jokingly suggested that the pastors pay for mine and wifey's lunch, but as it turns out, I was lucky to get out of there without buying all 13 of their lunches. I digress!!! Back to the line, it stayed to the door the full time we were there. So it's hopping at Mesquite BBQ.
The wifey and me decided to split a two meat plate. This is sliced beef, sausage and two veggies.
As usual the wifey takes the sliced beef (I am a sausage kind of guy!!!). She said it pretty much tasted the same as the other BBQ places we haunt. She noted the meat had very little fat on it. Sounds like she is giving the sliced beef a 6'er.
I chowed down on the sausage. At this joint the only choice is plain sausage and I am a big fan of the peppered sausage. They get a negative point for not having peppered sausage. The sausage had a pretty good flavor and consistency. The BBQ sauce was pretty good also. So the sausage begins at 6.5, but after the loss of one point is a 5.5.
The baked beans looked like pork and beans, but they had an afterburn that was pretty spicy. The beans get a 6.
The potato salad was mayonnaise based potato salad. Now Mitcho is a mustard potato salad kind of guy. Mitcho also prefers some onion, relish, or other crunchy additives which this didn't have any of them. Givin' em a 5.
Overall Mesquite BBQ gets a 6.
