Now that I’m officially a resident of the city of Orange I figured my first official review as a resident would be one of Scottie’s Smokehouse,\u00a0 the newest BBQ joint in Orange.\u00a0 I’d seen Scottie’s a couple times, tucked in the same strip mall as Poncho’s Mexican Restaurant and I kept telling myself I wanted to check it out, but up until a reminder today from Nancy over at Fast Food Maven<\/a> I had forgot.\u00a0 I’m glad I didn’t forget this time because Scottie’s appears to be a gem.\u00a0 I was greeted the moment I walked in just after opening.\u00a0 They were getting a soda fountain installed so things were a little hectic for them but it wasn’t anything that stopped them from providing good service and good food.\u00a0 Not much special about the inside of the restaurant other then the USC flag which I appreciated until I saw a UCLA flag as well, but I will forgive them for that.\"img_0317.jpg\"<\/a> The items and prices are up on a chalkboard there are 5 “Easy Meal” options which include a sandwich or meat combo along with sides for different amounts, or if you want you can order off the ala cart menu.<\/p>\n

I choose to go with the Meat Combo A ($11.70) which includes 2 oz. beef brisket, 2 pork ribs, 1 andouille sausage, 2 sides, and BBQ.\"img_0319.jpg\"<\/a> The brisket was perfectly smoked, the ribs had lots of meat and pulled off the bones just enough to eat them easily, the sausage had just a bit of spice, and all the meats were covered with some of their awesome BBQ sauce.\u00a0 BBQ sauce is a gift from the gods and Scottie’s is one of the better ones I’ve had in my Eat in OC endeavors.\u00a0 The beans were what I can only call texas style which aren’t my favorite but they weren’t bad, just not my first choice when it comes to BBQ.\u00a0 The cornbread wasn’t dry, which was a huge plus, I’d put it just a little above average due to it not having\u00a0 much flavor, but it held up good to the butter and honey that I put on it.\u00a0 All in all it was a really good meal that I look forward to having again.\u00a0 I’m looking forward to taking the Mrs. there for my next Scottie’s Smokehouse BBQ experience.<\/p>\n\n
