Frey Smoked Meat Co.

There was a thread on it.

I've had two friends go. One went and said it was going through the typical new restaurant stuff. Took forever to get food, it was ok, etc.

Another went and said it was great.

I'll wait a few weeks for them to get everything together and go.

i was really hoping for a boatload of meat pics when i clicked.

I've been 2 times.

The brisket I got was awesome. Almost like burnt ends. Sprouts were weak compared to Blue Oak's. Pulled pork was good but not amazing. Avoided the ribs because they were sauced, and I follow lazy keto rules. Still need to try the beef rib and pork belly.




Previous time I tried the wings, which were good but not enough smoke flavor. Again, nod to Blue Oak.

I've yet to go, but a buddy of mine went and complained that the meat didn't taste particularly smoked. I can't say if that's a valid critique or not, although I will say he tends to be hyperbolic.

Went a couple weeks ago, got the sliced beef, ribs and pulled pork. All were awesome. I think Frey's, Blue Oak and LA Smokehouse all do a great job.

For Frey's I rate the sliced beef first, pulled pork second and ribs third. I liked all 3 and IWEI again.

That's a 2-meat combo. Comes with 2 sides, I went double sprouts cause I don't do much carbs. But you'd think they'd fill some space on the plate with pickles, onions, bread, etc.

I went last night w/ some friends at 6:45 and the place was kind of empty. Around 7:30 it was pretty full.

We wanted the beef ribs (Out)
We wanted the pork belly (Out)
We wanted the sprouts (Out)

Got the sausage and biscuits and wings to start. The biscuits were fantastic. Sausage was good but needed more smoke. Wings were ok. Blue Oak obviously better.

For main course I got brisket and ribs. The brisket was ok but way too fatty and the ribs were meh. I didn't care for the sweet sauce on the ribs. Again, a nod to Blue Oak.

For sides I got cornbread (biscuit was WAY better) and the spicy grilled cabbage. The cabbage was delicious. My friends got what I got plus the fried chicken. It looked ok but I didn't try it and they didn't rave about it.

The biscuits and cabbage were definitely the best things I had there. I will give it another go or 2 to try the beef rib and the pork belly and their burgers, but Blue Oak is far better IMO.

Also, weird that you cannot get mac n cheese as a side.

I found this very odd, as well.

They need to offer mac as a side and wings as an option for the 2/3 meat combo platters.

That's a lot of sauce on the ribs in their site pics.
