I woke up with a craving for BBQ brisket, always on the lookout for local spots I've yet to try. A few months back, Resident Culture swapped their taco trailer for American BBQ, led by Brazilian pitmaster Edmar Simoes, making it my destination of choice today. I arrived at around 12:30 pm on a Sunday, the crowd still sparse, likely indulging in brunch before their South End drinking escapades. Settling at the spacious bar, bartender Angel offered sincere advice on the menu, recommending garlic butter chicken wings or the smoked chicken egg roll. Yet, my heart was set on brisket, my go-to gauge for BBQ joints, leading me to order the smoked brisket sandwich ($14) with a couple of pickle slices, onion and a choice of white or red slaw. The sandwich was promptly served, the sliced smoked brisket meat was lukewarm, nestled in a brioche bun accompanied by sliced onions and pickles. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectationslacking in fat, the meat was dry, and without any BBQ sauce provided. Angel informed me that the choice fattier cuts weren't available. Among the three BBQ sauce optionseastern Carolina vinegar, house BBQ, or Carolina mustardI found the house BBQ sauce essential to moisten the dry brisket. While the smoked brisket had a pleasant taste, the brioche bun was unremarkable, and the side of white slaw, although satisfactory, was modestly portioned in a two-ounce souffl cup While the meal itself was underwhelming, the interaction with Angel and his welcoming demeanor was a silver lining. If a return visit occurs, I may venture into the pulled chicken or pork, optimistic for a more fulfilling experience.

delicious coffee. sophisticated interior. tasty burger. service a little slow but staff is always friendly. WiFi okay. Good for remote work. sometimes it can get really cold there, my feet were freezing. I love the vibe overall and recommend this place for visiting.
