Join us as we dive into a recent dining experience that highlights what makes Ace’s BBQ a must-visit destination!

A Warm Welcome Awaits

As my girlfriend and I entered Ace’s BBQ, we were greeted with the comforting aroma of grilled meats and spices. Choosing a cozy table by a rain-soaked window, we were quickly attended to by a friendly waitress who presented us with menus and a complimentary basket of freshly made tortilla chips and warm salsa.

The Chips and Salsa Experience

• Warm Tortilla Chips: Perfectly fried and delightfully crunchy.
• Savory Salsa: A warm, rich blend with just the right kick of heat. Seriously, why doesn’t every restaurant serve warm salsa?

It’s the little things that count, and Ace’s BBQ has nailed the art of serving warm salsa—which is a game changer in the dining experience!

Menu Highlights: A Feast for the Senses

With our appetites whetted, I couldn’t resist the allure of “The Ace,” a hearty sandwich stacked with brisket, pulled pork, and sausage. My girlfriend opted for a classic sandwich combo featuring sliced, lean brisket served with a side of Lay’s Classic potato chips.

Fast and Efficient Service

While we eagerly anticipated our meals, we couldn’t help but notice the efficient staff replacing a TV mounted on the wall, all while attending to other customers. It’s this kind of attention to detail that enhances the dining experience.

The Food Has Arrived!

Our orders arrived promptly, and the presentation was as delightful as the aroma wafting from the plates:

• Chopped Brisket Sandwich: Moist brisket nestled in a soft, lightly toasted bun, garnished with raw onions and pickles. The tangy sauce brought the flavors to life!
• BBQ Nachos: A decadent pile of crispy tortilla chips smothered in nacho cheese and topped with tender brisket. This dish was meant to be an appetizer, but it could easily hold its own as a main course.

Each bite was a delicious reminder of why BBQ is such a beloved cuisine. My girlfriend and I found ourselves sharing bites, battling for the last morsel of brisket!
