Beale’s Texas BBQ

David Smith

I've been a customer in the previous location and had some good orders there. There meal today did not meet my expectations in the new location, some growing pains apparently. The meat was greasy and lacked flavor, sides were hit or miss. Beans and potat salad OK but Mac n cheese was overcooked and not creamy with cheese. The Cole Slaw was terrible tasted like way too much vinegar. Brisket was some well done end cuts, and ribs were dry, no sauce was provided. The brisket sandwich was soggy with grease and vinegar from the slaw on it, had to eat it with a fork after putting some bbq sauce on the meat - my own Jack Daniel's sauce.

Had an unfortunate experience but none that had to do with the taste of the food. Waiter was not educated on the menu and unfortunately led us to a conversation with the owner who was condescending with his syrupy sweet customer service voice while taking away our food trays before a decision was decided on our issue. He spoke down to us like we either didn’t understand what we ordered and mansplained to my bearded husband what a short rib was and then that we couldn’t afford to get what we wanted even though my husband said “‘I don’t care what it costs I’ll pay it” the problem was their menu and the waiter who didn’t know to tell us what we ordered didn’t exist even though the menu didn’t exclude any meats from being a part of the “plate choices” The owner decided what he wanted to do to remedy the situation already made up in his mind and didn’t want to hear what we wanted (which was to buy a whole other plate! But either he was judging us because we aren’t Huntington Harbor type or just is stubborn) His remedy was to take away the three choice meats and replace with a short rib plate which is one rib but he will “add a second for this inconvience” That’s not even CLOSE to what we wanted! We are avid BBQ family even just returned from a Texas trip that week where we checked a few top 50 in Texas BBQ off our list. We like to sample multiple items when trying a new place out…. This place is not run like a Texas BBQ. My tri tip (i only ordered because that did not have brisket that day) was sashimi style thinly cut with un even slices that came pre drizzled with their bbq sauce! (I don’t like to have bbq sauce on every bite so I was bummed) My second choice was Hot Links and I had a massive pile of the cheap meat drenched in BBQ sauce. The choice of sides is super stereotypical with no flair. In Texas they get creative like Green Chile Mac and cheese, Serrano glazed Brussel sprouts, wasabi coleslaw…. I only got to take a bite of the their basic coleslaw before I left crying over the altercation and the way the owner handled our questions about why we received rib tips and not the short ribs we spent 20 minutes getting the waiter to get our order correct. He kept repeating RIB TIPS for my tri tip and rib tips for my husbands desired short ribs (which is the excluded meat) The ambiance was cool, clean place. We had high hopes for this place but sadly can’t support business owners who act the way he did. Rather fire up my smoker and cook for myself then to deal with that drama..

This was my second visit here, this time work a group of 7. Most of us ordered the brisket sandwich, one got the brisket plate. I thought it was just ok. The sandwiches had lots of meat on them but it was barely Luke warm. Mac n cheese was tasty but the noodles were over cooked. It also needed salt & pepper but there was not any on the table. The bbq beans were spicy but very sweet. My coworker did not like them. The collard greens were amazing. She said she’d come back just for them! The potato salad was good but not my favorite. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly service but a bit pricey for just ok food.
