This displaced Texan strongly disagrees. I think it is better than most of what I get when in Austin (most often County Line & Salt Lick (because those are what friends/relatives like most), and others occasionally). The Prime brisket is really good.
But then, I really like the flavor of well-smoked meat that is tender and a bit juicy.  Others may have different criteria.
Mings was really good in the early 1980s. (My just-under-2-years-old daughter's recommendation when we ate there: "Buy more. Take home. Eat later." Check that cognitive planning in your developmental charts.) Not long after that, we weren't often eating at places like Mings. I did drive by that intersection a week ago and the building seemed to still be there.
