Gus' BBQ Tahoe & Gaviota Gaming Lounge

I thought with a name using open pit BBQ that I would smell it before the door or when I opened the door, I didn't. We got the 3 piece sampler. It was ribs, tri tips, and pulled pork. Ribs - dry and over cooked. When the bone crumbles, it's overcooked. Pulled pork - very plain. No smoke flavor and had no seasoning taste from the rub. Tri tips - must be their version of a brisket. No real flavor and the bark didn't even have flavor. We also got grilled vegetables. I'm got sure they never saw a grill. Maybe a frying pan. I sampled the beans, they shouldn't taste like chili. Simple brown sugar, molasses, and a little pulled pork could turn those around. I know BBQ is different everywhere, but there is at least a standard that everyone needs to meet in order to be called a BBQ restaurant. Best advice, visit Virginia, Texas, and Georgia.
