I'm really sorry about not having pix for this review, but my new camera hadn't arrived in time. Created by an alumnus of Memphis Minnie's, they've been open for two weeks now. We parked across the street, and when I got out of the car I could smell that smell that I love. They use a J&R smoker and oak wood from up around Chico, CA. You have a choice of four sauces at table: a sweet KC style, a slightly spicy Texas style and with a nod to North Carolina, a mustard and a vinegar-based sauce. Sandwiches are available, but we went for the hard core: 1/2 lb. of Texas Brisket (8) and Half A Rack of Baby Back Ribs (14). The brisket was as good as any I've had in Texas, tender AND moist, a weak point with some of the places we visited on this year's Texas Tour. The ribs, while having a good rub and nice smoky flavor, were a bit on the dry side. Not being shy, I mentioned this to our hostess, who said she would convey the message.
I wanted to try the Pit Beans with Burnt Tips ('brownies' in KC jargon), but Ryan is not a big beans fan. We opted for the Coleslaw (5. for a pint) and bucket of Sweet Potato Fries (5). The slaw was your non-mayo variety and I liked it with the exception of the red onion. All it needed was a little black pepper. The fries were on a par with most of the ones available in restos these days, quite tasty and plenty of them.
A great thing to see on the menu is Original Formula Dr. Pepper (3) from the Dublin, TX plant, the only one that still makes it. Real cane sugar, baby, and in a glass bottle.
The website is not completely up and running, so I can't show you the whole menu, but just keep checking at:www.cedarhillsf.com
