It had been a while, so my son and I gave Rubbin' Butts a go last night, and it was totally meh.
The prices are very reasonable, but, as a few Google reviews noted, the food is bland. Everything but the kielbasa—pulled pork, brisket, ribs, and even the mac and cheese—needed sauce to be tasty, and the brisket was wayyyy too fatty.
It's too bad, because they're really close to us, but we'll continue driving to Yankee Smokehouse or maybe even give Alamo a try.
PS Some BBQ lovers might enjoy sauce, but to me the meats should be tasty enough on their own with the sauce adding a bit of twist.
PPS My smokehouse favorites, for comparison (not in order): KC'S Rib Shack, Goody Cole's, Yankee Smokehouse, Smokehaus (Amherst), and Smoke Show (Concord). Oh, and Angry Hog in North Woodstock has done a good job the few times I've tried them.
