“it holds it own against others especially being in NYC. I'm more a brisket guy but also enjoy their ribs but never have I left hometown thinking it was shitty BBQ.”
H3
“Everybody has a bad day but i was shocked at how bad Hometown was on my first and only visit. Tepid brisket on what must have been its third reheat and ribs so beat to hell and shriveled they were more like “won’t come off the bone”.”

“this is a better sandwich than Katz just because they give you a bread that isn't fucking falling apart. AND they toast it!”

“Hardly see people mention this but [Hometown BBQ's lamb belly banh mi](http://www.johnnyprimesteaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/DSC05401.jpg) is exactly what you want. It's so tender fatty juicy.”

“Very good sandwich, though not necessarily a great one. This brisket melts in your mouth immediately, but I actually wish this were a little more toothsome.”

“If you dropped hometown in the middle of any state in the south it would hold its own. Anywhere outside of pockets of SC, NC, Austin, like 3 places in Alabama, and Kansas City it would be considered the best for hundreds of miles and have a line from open until they run out.”
