Up In Smoke BBQ

1/21/10 Abbott, TX. Just south of Hillsboro lies Up In Smoke, a good BBQ joint that is in the perfect spot for quality BBQ during a road trip on Interstate 35. The brisket is good, but not very interesting. If you like brisket that is minimally messed with, you'll dig it. However, their sauce is pretty good and adds enough flavor to make it tasty. The beans are also good, again just sort of out-of-a-can bland. The green beans, broken record, were ok but I wouldn't get them again. They give you a slice of Texas toast with the meal instead of white bread which is fantastic. I am curious about the "Texas Trash" on the menu, which appears to be their version of Frito Pie. Up in Smoke is the best place I have found for BBQ between Ft. Worth and Temple/Belton so far, and it shouldn't be long before I head back there to try their Texas Trash (and some banana pudding, it looked awesome). They did have tea, but am uncertain if it was sweet or unsweet. Until next time, B+
