Looks like roast beef from here.

Looked like that from inside the restaurant too. Also sliced with the grain.

Haven't seen that one before. That's a first for me.

I've seen it chopped into small enough bits and drenched in so much sauce you needed a spoon, just to cover up serving yesterday's dry ass brisket.

It was drenched in their Lexington NC-style BBQ sauce, which didn't help.

I would have asked for my money back.

I ordered pulled pork at a little place in GA one time and what they brought was simply some meat that appeared to be boiled then chopped up with some sauce on top. It had never been anywhere near a smoker. Never went in there again.

Dang that is ugly. Even on our worst days, I think we can all beat that "brisket".

Please let me know the place so I don’t go there. I’m in Raleigh area a lot

 

[Roaniecowpony]

I think you could convert a Texan to eatin fish with that.

Sorry, I meant to include a trigger warning for Texans on the forum.

At least on our worst days it's still smoked. Find the smoke ring in that photo.

It's obviously in the same place as the brisket really is...lol

I’ve also gotten brisket sliced the wrong way, at a place that’s normally very good. It actually happened a few times.

I finally complained to the owners, they completely understand and were very frustrated. Good staff is really hard to find. Not everyone who works in s bbq place is as passionate about it as we are, sometimes it’s just a job/paycheck.

I've had trouble in my business finding good employees at times, but we've always done our job.
A BBQ place serving this is like buying a car with wooden square tires, because the tire supplier was having a hard time finding good workers. It's kinda sorta -and maybe even mostly- what I ordered, but wrong enough that it's pretty much worthless.
If you can't make it work with the employees you can get, you need to go out of business in favor of those who can.

Pot roast.

Yeah .... looks like the Pot Roast from Hometown Buffet, let the Taters and Carrots

Sure, in theory, but sometimes it's just a rough patch and you need to work to fix it. They did, and it's been fine for some time. It would have been ridiculous to close up shop for a minor issue that took them a few months to fix.
