Reviews for Fat Cap Smoked Meats in South Bend, IN
The brisket was exceptional but the sides were lacking. The Mac and cheese sauce was more of a soup than usual and it needed... salt. The same for the elotes. We did enjoy the mains though! Read more
The ribs and rib tips and sauce were amazing. Everything else the corn, cornbread, and Mac and cheese was trash, just being... honest, they were about of alot of things to Read more
Good quality smoked meats. Good seasoning. Not sure what wood they use, but nice kiss of smoke. Had pork, spare ribs and the... andouille. My co-eater loved the pulled pork sammy. My ribs were quality tasting. Loved the selection of sauces. VinegarCarolina was favorite. I do agree with others, smoke ring/color is lacking. Sides were slaw, mac-n-cheese, and cornbread. Slawwas perfect with meat, creamy and homemade. Couldn't make it to corn bread. We overdid it. I'll be back when I'm in town! Thumbsup. (Wanna try the brisket.) Read more
The brisket was pretty dry and tough, and the fat was still a little too chewy. Nearly no smoke ring. It was also way saltier... than any brisket I?ve had. Side of cream corn was pretty good and the staff was very nice, but I don?t think I?d return. $23 forsome meat, a side, and a fountain drink is not a good value, especially for the quality. Read more
Fat Caps is the best BBQ I?ve had? EVER! Enjoying piled pulled pork sandwich and some pork belly.
Got 1/2 lb of rib tips and ribs with a side of mac n cheese. The meat were all delicious and tender. The side not so much and ... being $5 it?s kind of expensive for what taste and look like boxed mac n cheese. But the star of the show, the smoked meats,were well worth it. Really wanted to try the pork belly but they were unfortunately sold out. Read more
The two sandwiches I had were phenomenal brisket and pulled chicken thigh. Only thing that could have been better was your Mac... and cheese side. Maybe I just had a bad batch but I only taste noodle no cheese. Let me know if you all need help with a Mac andcheese recipe. I feel like that should be a staple for barbecue sides Read more
