I have a serious question and hopefully someone can help me but is BBQ supposed to be room temperature or luke warm? Honest question and I’m not even trying to be funny. Lol. But seriously, this is #DoubleTakeTuesday and this hashtag was created to give some honest feedback on many popular places that look good in photos but are they really good as it seems. Anyway, this is Martins and they have a few locations in Nashville and I’ve heard rave reviews about them so I wanted to try it out. The photo is their Big Brother Sampler from the menu. It contains 4 bones, 6oz Brisket and a choice of two sides. The sides that you can see is the mac and cheese and green beans. First I want to say that the mac and cheese was really good. It was baked and not just cooked over the stove which I enjoy. The other item that was good was the green bean broth. I’m not sure how they made the broth or what type of flavor that was used but it was quite good. The green beans on the otherhand were a little too big for my liking but I know that some people would enjoy it however. In regards to the brisket and ribs, they were okay. For some reason they both lacked flavor and it was room temperature. I’m not sure why that happened but I’m guessing since they have so many people some days, they leave the bbq out but I do feel like it should be heating in something so it stays hot. I was a little disappointed because I was really expecting some really good bbq which turned out to be not quite good. So far, I’ve only had one really good bbq place in Texas but I’m still on the look out for other places. So my recommendation would probably not be to go to Martins if you’re in Nashville. Nashville has another good bbq place that you should definitely go to which I’ll be highlighting soon.
