Watching football games is one of the few things I enjoy as much as eating barbecue. Rarely do I get to enjoy both in the same evening, but I was able to do so on a night when I went to a high school football game in Allen, Texas. I knew that a location of Soulman's Bar-B-Que was close to the stadium, so I popped in there prior to the game.
I wanted to try several meat options, so I ordered the three meat plate with turkey, pulled pork, and hot links. If you read my blog, then you know that I rarely go to a barbecue joint in Texas without ordering brisket, but I decided to pass on brisket this night because the brisket on the block was lean and had all of the fat and most of the bark cut away. The turkey was not good at all and had the texture and flavor of sandwich meat. The hot links were fairly ordinary, but did have a little spice to them. The pulled pork was the best of the three, but was far from great.
The sides were a mixed bag for me. The beans were bland and required the addition of salt and pepper. I also had the cream corn, which was actually quite good and was the best item I tried on this evening. It had great flavor and had just enough peppers in it to give it a Texas kick. The Texas toast was cold, stale, and needed more butter.
Soulman's has three different desserts available: Pecan Pie, Buttermilk Pie, and Banana Pudding. I tried the Banana Pudding and felt it was lacking much of a banana flavor and had more whipped cream than pudding. This place was not very busy on the night I visited, but it still took me over seven minutes to get through the line, despite the fact there were only two other people in front of me. This place was a huge disappointment and will not get a return visit from me.
