The Crossroads Bbq (carmel-by-the-sea)

The tritip and pulled pork were really good, moist and tender, but the portion size was too small for the price.

For an $18 sandwich with a side of beans what a huge disappointment on so many levels. The portion size should be on the kids meal. The Tri Tip Sandwich has zero flavor, it is not tender and you will have to pick a bunch off fat off the meat. Your given a bbq dipping sauce which im pretty sure its Kraft bbq sauce. The bread I will say was fresh and delcious. The beans taste like Dennison chilli and you only get about 40mls. Very disappointed with the quality of the food for the price. I have had better Tri tip sandwichs with larger more flavorful portions at a lower cost from places equivalent to Dennys.

I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but my order was so delicious that I felt compelled to share it. I had the Berry Bleu Salad with balsamic dressing and added chicken. The flavors complemented each other perfectly, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the portion was generous enough for me to save half for lunch tomorrow. This is the best salad I've had in Monterey!

C+ performance. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. If you're just craving BBQ and don't expect anything extraordinary, it will satisfy your hunger, but overall, the dish was lacking in flavor. The cornbread was well-made, but it could have used some sugar and salt. I found myself adding BBQ sauce to the meat, which I don't usually do. As for the macaroni, it desperately needed more cheese; it just tasted like warm noodles with butter. On the bright side, the potato salad was quite good.

I ordered an $18 brisket sandwich and received just a half sandwich, which is outrageous. I doubt it would have even satisfied my son. When I order in person, I get a regular-sized sandwich, but when I order online, I get half of what I usually do? I'm extremely disappointed and won't be ordering from this place again. Honestly, I only received four tiny slices of brisket, which means each slice cost over $4. How is this even acceptable?
