I've been eating at Robin's for years and have watched for over a year the construction of their new Smokehouse built behind the restaurant. The ""Q"" has always been top notch but now it's sublime. Robin says that the smoker was built in Texas and has no gas connection and that it works only with wood. The new rubs are great and sauce really is only needed if you like it that way. Tasty deep pink smoke rings on everything and the beef has a peppery rub that I taste hours later at home, really good stuff. I could go on and on but it's worth the drive for us from the Valley.
Pros: On-site smokehouse, well rubbed meats, mad dog bbq sauce
Cons: there isn't a Robin's in the west Valley.
