Victory Smokehouse - Warren

I love hitting this place up for lunch. Always have great food.

I'm quite shocked at how bad this food was. Had I made prepared this type of meal, I would be embarrassed to serve it. The picture doesn't lie. There's literally no moisture in the meat. Brisket is dry and overcooked. Pork belly is dry and overcooked. Hard to chew. The collard greens, well obviously no soul there. The Mac n cheese and corn bread was the only thing pleasurable and that's being kind. $50 down the drain.

I've been here many times over the past 15 years, and it was aways a decent dive bar, but wow, have they changed. I ordered a brisket sandwich, and my wife ordered the wings, and we grabbed a seat. Next, the waitress asked for drinks. I ordered a Moscal Muke, and she ordered a classic Margherita. The mule was decent, but when the waitress delivered the Margherita, she said it was premix. $8 for a nasty premix drink. Seriously disappointing. Food came out fairly fast, but as you can see, the wings were very overdone and rubbery. Practically inedible. The blue cheese looked as if it was over a week old and tasted much of the same. The brisket was good and falling apart, at least, but one meal was a complete flop. As for the decor of the place. They still have Christmas decorations at the end of April up. I love a good dive bar but you can't update the place, charge more money and not deliver on the food.

The total package from food and waitresses are amazing, relaxed environment very welcoming.Best food ever, everything!

Great food. Excellent service. Good atmosphere. I will return.
