Has anybody been to this place? Just saw a Groupon for it.

Some of the reviews say near Texas quality brisket and excellent Greek broiled meats. Could be heaven (at least for me).

My hopes diminish a bit as I read Greek broiled meats (broiled meats can be excellent but it isn't BBQ). And to futher nitpick, their website talks about hickory smoked when TX BBQ joints use oak for the majority.

if cheltzel has some good feedback on the below, I'd sure be up for having a Flyertalk lunch or dinner there.
whoa, I missed this quote from 10 years ago.
Did you try the lamb or pig?

Since this thread was randomly bumped after a decade, I thought I'd piggyback on it - anyone been to Twin Anchors in Old Town recently? Any good? I don't think I've ever been to that restaurant in my life, and since it's been there forever, I figure I probably should check that box.
