Copied from the New Times Article, here's their description of the 3 versions of brisket available at TXBBQ house:
>>>> The brisket is heavenly and, depending on the amount of marbling desired, available in lean, moist, and "cutter's choice." <<<<<
They all sound really good to me, but does anyone know what cuts they actually serve there?
I'm just guessing, but I wonder if the 3 different versions may be the following cuts derived from a full packer:
Lean Brisket = Sliced Flat with surface fat scraped off before slicing ?
Moist Brisket = Sliced Point ?
Cutter's Choice = Sliced Flat with surface fat left in tact ?
Mustang you are right on the money.
Let me say I am still in partial food comma so please excuse any misspellings.
Walked in when they opened and was greeted by Dale one of the owners. He starts to explain the menu to me and then asks what I would like to sample. Well that was all he needed to say. I tried everything pretty much on the menu from a sample perspective.
Let me get this out of the way. Texas House BBQ is going to upset the BBQ scene here in Phoenix because it is super simple and super good. I love that they don't sauce any of their meats at all. It truly lets you savor the flavor of all the meats.
Speaking of meats there are plenty. Brisket (3 different cuts), spare ribs (with the tip on, I almost cried), chicken, turkey, pork loin (very tender and juicy), sausage (I usually don't like sausage but theirs is awesome), and chopped beef.
I got a pound of the moist brisket, half a pound turkey, half pound ribs, and chopped beef. For sides I took home the pinto beans (super good and not sweet thank God), and also the creamed corn (more on this later). Let me tell you that this meal I just had was a great experience. The flavor of the meat combined with my onions and jalepenos will not be forgotten soon. The ribs are bite through tender, and my moist brisket had a great rub on the bark and was also tender. The oak they use is very mild on the meat but adds enough to let you know that it is BBQ. Did I mention the brisket was super good. The turkey was really tender and moist as well with a very different rub than the rest of the meats. The chopped beef is mixed with BBQ sauce and this was really not my thing but my wife loved it.
The creamed corn gets its own paragraph since it is probably the best BBQ side I have ever had. I don't like sweet things but this one blew my socks off and goes great with the savory BBQ meats. It has a great consistency and the corn is not canned but fresh. You really get a good corn crunch from the creamed corn that lets you know it is fresh.
Make sure you get plenty of the pickles, onions, and jalepenos when you get take out. I almost ran out half way through my plate.
If you couldn't tell this place is awesome and will be disrupting the BBQ scene in the valley. It is also on 24th street and Roser which is not to far from Laveen, and adds to the new restaurant renaissance here in south Phoenix that includes The House at The Secret Garden, and Ammano Pizzeria.
Thanks Dale and team. I will be back soon.
