Out on the far east corner of the KC BBQ debris field sits a
humble little concrete block building dishing out some very, very good Q. PNP's small interior is white, bright, and
clean. In late January, festive
Valentine decorations anticipated lovers - barbeque and otherwise. A lousy boombox on the kitchen side of the
wall bathes seven tables with fuzzy 90s FM rock. PNP is Ma & Pa behind the counter.
PNP lines up the usual Q suspects: ribs, pulled pork, burnt
ends, brisket, ham, turkey, chicken wings, beef sausage, as well as fried
catfish. Sides are beans, slaw, potato
salad and hand cut curly fries.
Stopped by for a Monday lunch. I ordered a brisket + sausage sandwich with
fries and soda. Pa brought out the fries
first. I thought I was at the carnival
midway when I saw the size of this "side". Idaho's greatest tuber was staring me in the
face. Moments later, a large hoagie bun
stuffed with brisket and floating large red sausage chunks on top arrived at my
table. Pa admitted the sausage was from
Sysco. It was fine ground and a tad
spongy, but quite tasty. The brisket
looked chopped, but no, it was sliced and so dadgum tender it crumbled when the
sandwich was made up. Excellent smoke
and taste. I used the hot sauce
exclusively and enjoyed every thrilling bite.
My professional assessment (based on my
scoring standards):
Brisket...
Taste: 8 Tenderness: 9 Appearance: 8 = Overall: 8.4
Sausage…
Taste: 7 Tenderness: 9 Appearance: 8 = Overall: 8
This large combo sandwich is my standard lunch order and I
never see it for under $10 (usually because fries are extra). This was no special either, just the standard
menu price, with tax, totaling $8.88.
$8.88!! I dare another BBQ joint to beat that. (Really, please try.) Use better better sasauge and PNP earns that
last proud piggie.
As it stands, Pork N
Pit BBQ gets FOUR well-deserved piggies.
