Le Poughs Barbque - Fort Lee

Again I have given a business a second chance and it blew up in my face. Tried to get a brisket sandwich this time. Went to the line and you can't get it made fresh. Only pre made, sauced and wrapped and out under a heat lamp. So I take a look at the line and EVERTHING is burnt I mean EVERYTHING, mac and cheese, chicken, hot links all of it was black. And they were still serving and the broken pallets where buying smdh. I rolled the dice and got a over heated brisket sandwhich. Let me tell you this was absolutely horrible. I got a half of a sandwhich after I pulled off all the fat and soggy bread. They don't even make their own ice tea. Man what BBQ place doesn't have ice tea? Snapple ice tea doesnt count. $9.75 for a single sandwhich and snapple tea. If the sandwhich was good I'd be all for it. But the edible brisket was chewy and lacked the wood flavor it needs.

CLOSED DOWN Meat is good...however you can 't take a bite of the sandwich without getting a mouth full of fat! This is an ongoing problem with Le Pough 's. I don 't know if they think it 's saving to keep all the fat in the chopped port, but it 's gross! I also think they are the only game in town that doesn 't have a daily sandwich combo. The sandwich is 5.50 and 2 sides are 4. Most places have a 6.50- 7.00 combo meal every day. The sauce is great. Also VERY hot in the restaurant...they need to invest in that building and get AC. One other thing annoys me is the young staff just hanging out behind the counter.

I finally made my way back to Le Pough's and am still a fan. I had two hotlinks, baked beans, and mac cheese. The links were good, I expected them to be spicier but they were flavorful and the special mustard was exceptional, which made up for the spice difference. Baked beans were still outstanding. The mac cheese was a little dry and not very cheesy but it was good. I typically don't eat mac cheese except for at home, but all the others sides were out. You have to get to Le Poughs early because they run out food. I can understand this as meat is a high dollar item and this is only a stand. I will still visit, I will have to adjust my times though. Standing in line and seeing others get the last piece of chicken or last rib is a little demoralizing after standing in the hot sun...and it is only May!

The food is Amazing and is cooked fresh daily! The staff is out there everyday filling the air with good ol' deliciousness. You will have to wait a little bit for your food, but that's expected as they are not a fast food kind of place.

Disappointed! Went to the BBQ place on the Blvd outside of Colonial Heights. Ordered 2 lbs of pork BBQ and only got 1 1/2 lbs. $10 a lb is pricey to begin with. But when you're shorted a half pound....on a $20 order. Won't be going back.
