<p>Guests love BBQ brisket! It is a fact of life we have come to learn, and taking a tough piece of meat and turning it into a tender creation takes a careful hand and just the right amount of cooking.</p>
<p>New for 2017, Cedar Point Shores opened up the <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/park-food-guides/cedar-point-shores-food/crystal-rock-cafe/">Crystal Rock Cafe</a>. In addition to lots of really great options, we were really excited to see the park offer a premium product like brisket on the <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/park-food-guides/cedar-point-food/">Cedar Point dining plans</a>.</p>
<p>The meal includes a sandwich with several slices of brisket and your choice of side, which varies from mac and cheese, spiral wedges, or waffle fries.</p>

<p>What we really like about this menu option is the sandwich is served on a nice Kaiser roll and the brisket is exceptional tender, making each bite melt in your mouth.</p>
<p>On the opposite side, where we really look for improvement is the flavor of the meat. Though sliced thin, we did not taste much, if any, crunchy outside dry rub on the meat. Further, the only BBQ sauce offered was that from the Heinz dispensers. While the Heinz BBQ sauce is decent and great for dipping the seasoned fries into, we expected a high quality, freshly made BBQ sauce on top of the sandwich.</p>

<p>The perfect example is over at Kings Island. The <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/review-kings-island-soak-city-island-smokehouse-smoked-brisket/">Island Smokehouse brisket</a> is freshly carved and features a very flavorful dry rub. However, Chef Nate also makes his own BBQ sauce, and the spicy version (our favorite) is a great topping to the meat.</p>
<p>We are very grateful that brisket is now available not only at Cedar Point, but also on the dining plans! With some slight changes, the brisket could be a great option at Cedar Point.</p>
