Okay, follow me here. Alamo was a terrific Texas-style BBQ joint with outside-only seating. It basically died during the pandemic. Frontier is the same recipes and owners as far as I can tell, in a storefront about 6 blocks away from the original location. The pork and brisket are legit Texas style salt n pepper mesquite stuff. I really like it. The chicken is fine. The sides are pretty darned good. Service is fine, not exceptional. Full bar, micro brews available. Worth the trip if you are going through town.
