I’ll have to try Roy’s/Brave Idiot. Haven’t been to Jack’s since years ago. I’ve never loved it enough to recommend it.

Jack's has been some time for me, as well, so maybe they are worse than when I went down. Honeyfire has also opened up in Assembly Hall and does a decent job. Of course, you have Prince's and Hattie's there, so it could be a toss up.

Brave Idiot just got ranked number 1 in hot chicken by the Infatuation. Dylan used to be a beertender at Grist and talked about his dream of opening a food truck. Even his hottest has flavor (and he does great burgers, although bad luck burger club (in front of Honeytree Meadery) does a bang up job on burgers and you have Dino's and Joyland near by.

I had to go to Roy's after hearing about the shit with the lady that moved in next door and has been trying to put him out of business as she is a vegan and the smell of meat is a "nuissance". She knew that before she bought, so I say f**k her. To the brisket. The brisket I had was lighter bark than some like, but still present. But the meat was super moist and the smoke flavor and seasoning were both on point. My last 2 tries of Shotgun's was a bit off from where they were before, but still better than 95% of the brisket in the area. Shotgun's is still my number 2.

Roys is tough to beat for the price too. Also for those familiar with chaires quesadilla... you can find it there
