Score 84/100 · Order: Brisket plate, mac and cheese · $17–27
Sweet Sunset keeps the menu short and the smoker busy. Brisket is the best order, the mac and cheese is baked rather than stirred, and the whole thing feels like a neighborhood project rather than a chain.
Local tip: Sides are made in small batches and run out earlier than the meat.
