It was my day off, and I wanted to grab lunch with one of my favorite friends, Albert! At first I wanted to eat a good burger, then we scrambled to find a place that wasn't crowded. Then, we moved on to barbeque. Mmmm... moist, delicious brisket... how joyous!
Albert knew just the place to take me. We drove to Thelma's at 3755 Southmore. So, the building didn't look like much, the ambience isn't hip or happening, but what they lack in both of those areas, they make up in their food. I ordered the brisket with two sides (potato salad and green beans). I had so much beef that I had plenty of leftovers. The meat is moist and you can tell it has been smoked slowly and with lots of love. The sweetness of the sauce pairs well with their sweet iced tea (which has a bit of lemonade in the mix). My friend Albert tried their chicken and brisket with dirty rice. He said that he regretted the chicken choice and will be ordering the ribs and brisket next time. If you want to take some out of town guests to a good bbq place, Thelma's is it.
