Lawrence Barbecue

This was the second stop on our father/son traditional bbq road trip this week. I did my research before coming and knew I would be walking into a new school vibe bbq place. My son and I were not disappointed! Proteins Smoked wings: flavorful and juicy. No sauce really needed because they tasted great on their own. Brisket: the bark was delicious with a nice balance of salt/pepper. The piece I had was nice and juicy. Sticky ribs: soooooooooo good. Didn’t fall apart but came off the bone easy while eating. That sauce!?!?! Holy hell it was delicious! Sweet with a little tang. I could see that pairing well with alot of different things. Smash burger: I’m not really a smash burger guy but gave it a try and it was delicious. Even better dipping it in the Cheerwine bbq sauce. Sides Deviled egg potato salad: growing up with southern grandmothers, this hit home beautifully! A nice balance of flavors. Brisket beans: not the typical style of beans I’m used to but loved every bite. Lots of flavor. Tangy slaw: stole the show for me. A nice vinegar vibe that wasn’t over the top and the cilantro just set it off! Seriously that slaw can be paired with so many different things or on its own. I appreciate the way the cilantro added to each dish it was used on but didn’t overpower any of them. You can definitely go too heavy with it but you guys had a perfect mix. Sauces cheerwine sauce: was a little tangy and sweet but so so good. Vinegar: I’m a vinegar fan and this has some bit. Be careful not to inhale deep if you smell it haha. All in all great experience top to bottom! Prices matched the quality and effort that goes into making great bbq! The best way to approach any new bbq spot is to leave your preferences at home and expand your taste buds and try something different. I’m glad we did. Wish we could’ve tried more but there’s always next time. Thanks for being apart of this father/son tradition!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely stupid good. I didn’t know BBQ pork, mac and cheese, and baked beans could taste like this—next level flavor across the board. Honestly makes me want to go back and delete every 5-star review I’ve ever written because this is the only place that actually deserves one.

The Brisket was pretty dern good. I just didn't like the fact that my bread was in my beans. It made it very soggy. I also didn't like seeing the cook slam sandwiches on the counter. That kind of killed the experience for me. Never the less the food was good.
