AI-generated summary
Get the brisket and ask for it moist or fatty. People say it's the closest thing to central Texas in Manhattan. Skip the rib, it comes out dry. The happy hour runs about a dollar a wing and regulars call it the best in Manhattan. It's gotten pricey and people disagree about the sides.
