Blue Bear Que at The Nash

Stopped for the first time last weekend. They were a little short staffed but the waitress did a good job. We got the brisket platter & sausage platter, mostly because we wanted to try the sides. The brisket was just ok, not much bark or smoky flavor. The sausage links were dry & over cooked (also small portions for both). The Mac & cheese was bland, the cornbread dry & bland. The duck fat fries were ok & the street corn salad was probably the best thing. When the bill came, they’d were up chargers for all 4 sides, which was not clear on the menu. The patter comes with 2 sides that you apparently have to pay extra for. Not worth the $50+ we’re dropped. Doubt we will be back, disappointed

If you are looking for authentic southern smoked meats, you will not be disappointed in the selections from the Blue Bear Que. We are big fans of the Blue Bear and now we have added the Que to the list. Have a drink. Have some great conversations. Enjoy the view of the showroom. Brace yourself for the Smoked Deviled Eggs, the Cornbread Hush Puppies and the tremendous All Meat platter

First, posted hours are in correct. We were there during the 2 hours they say they are closed. They do smoke/cook onsite, was sad to see more white smoke escaping from the chamber, then out of the stack. I ordered the combo plate with brisket, pulled pork (which was actually chunks), sausage. I had street corn, and duck fat fries(other reviewers said they were the best ever). I will preface this by saying, I have eaten BBQ from all over. The sausage was the best part of the meal. A little smoke heavy for some, tender. Not the juiciest, but good. Both the brisket and pork showed good signs of bark. No evidence of a smoke ring on the brisket. The pork should signs of not having long enough to render internal fats and connective tissues as did the brisket.As far as flavor, I was sadly disappointed. While the bark looked good, I expected a slight saltiness. There was not,on both brisket and pork. The fries are nothing special, seasoned with salt and parmesan cheese. The street corn was ok
