Smokey & the Brisket / 5465 Lake Murray Blvd. La Mesa, CA 91942

So far I’ve been here twice. The first time we just ordered inside and waited in the car until it was done. Second visit we ordered online, much faster and no line! When you arrive all you have to do is go to the pick up counter, your food is bagged and ready then you pay.

Their flatbread is pretty darn good! Although the sides tend to get a bit over crispy. The pulled pork flatbread had the extra crispy ends, the rest of the bread was cooked perfectly. Pork was melt in your mouth tender. The combination of fresh mozzarella, tasty cooked onions and slightly sweet barbecue sauce made it hard to put down.

The smoked sausage flatbread had perfect crust. The sausage was medium spicy which I really liked. The tender, roasted potato was minimal and I felt myself wanting more. The chimichurri sauce really brings everything together.   

The star of the show goes to the loaded pulled pork fries! They really do know their way around pork. Very tender with flavorful spices infused. I’ve never seen sliced fries quite the way they do it. I’ll have to say its unique and the taste is phenomenal. For me the cheese sauce gets extra bonus points for being creamy, smooth and full of flavor. My only complaint is I wanted more sauce!
