Please call the restaurant to determine the basis for the fee, if it truly was charged on purpose. Beats the rampant speculation, plus hope you get your $5 back.
Went last night.. Was really hoping for something better.
We got 2 drinks, 2 sides, 1 sausage link , half chicken and some brisket... $45.
That alone was enough to turn me off.
The brisket was weighed with fat still on.. So I'm paying for fat.
Sausage was not to my taste.
Everything else was on par with that of other local establishments.
I'm not a fan if CJ BBQ but at least they are smart enough to serve plates.
Can order a 1 meat/ 2 meat BBQ plate.
Kruez did not even serve a chopped beef sandwich much less plates.
What kind of lunch crowd can you expect when you don't even offer a BBQ sandwich?

If you're not eating the fat, you're doing it wrong.

Order meat. They will give you bread, pickle, and onion for free. Voila! Barbecue sandwich!*
*Some assembly required.
I have tried the new Kreuz and I like it. I do find the "no forks" thing highly annoying.
Good barbecue should not be ruined with sauce.

Bread was free for us, plain pickles and onions were free as well, over by the drink counter.
It's their restaurant, their food, their way. I don't see the problem. What's the difference in wax paper on a tray vs wax paper in a basket, as other places serve food? It's BBQ, no plate required. All the sides eat fine with a spoon. The meat is easily eaten by hand. If you want to trim fat, there are knives. Again, it's BBQ, not a steak dinner.

Tony Romas was welcome, but pricey. Don't know if that's why they failed, but obviously did not have enough business. This area is a "casual dining" sort of place, which gets the price point as low as possible, and follows what's going on nationally.

I picked up Kruez today. (As carry-out, thus addressing any fork issues)
The service I received was very good. A man came up and welcomed me, asked if I'd been there before and explained everything to me. Even though I've read here and was pretty aware, I heard him out because he was doing what people would hope for if they felt uncertain.
After some grumbling about no sauce, the people here got curious enough to give it a try. It was a hit. The flavor is good. We'll definitely have it again. (Not too often though because the doc will be grumbling about those cholesterol numbers in no time.)

I really like the brisket and sausage. I do want to try the chicken next time.

Yup. I think we've established it's pretty much an awesome restaurant.

Yup. Glad we settled that. Anyone who had a bad experience there is hereby now forbidden from expressing an opinion about it.
Despite the fact that this is a...discussion board.
Oh, they can express opinions all they want. But, the place remains good regardless.

Let me clarify. I by no means can speak for the community. It worked for us. The flavors are good. (to us) But, it will be a treat, not a regular destination because, well, health matters....

I got the brisket. It was cooked to perfection.. but didn't come close to the flavor at Fargos. I'm pretty sure Lews food truck is better as well.
+1 Lew's
Been to Lew's twice. Each time the food was undercooked, which I didn't think was possible. Haven't had that issue at Fargo's or Kreuz's.
Not impressed. No flavor very bland.

This other Kruez BBQ thread has been locked (duplicate topic), so I'm adding a link here for reference.

I had a beef rib last night. It was tasty. Also nice to get one in town as they are the only ones doing beef ribs. They also had shoulder clod for those wanting to stretch beyond just brisket.
Had it for the first time yesterday and was impressed with sausage and ribs. The brisket was also pretty darn good. I'm a big Snows fan because the BBQ is ALL so good and I like their sauce, too. It all comes down to individual taste. There was a time when I liked C&J but I just don't care for it anymore. I have slowly lost my taste for sweeter sauces and have move more towards the vinegar side.
After having been a couple times, it's a good, but not great experience. If I want truly elite bbq, I will continue to drive an hour to Snow's or Louie Mueller's every now and then to satisfy that craving.
Enjoyed it on my first outting on a Friday night. Had brisket and jappy sausage and both were very good with a side of pinto beans. No complaints and I'm just happy there is real classic Texas BBQ in BCS again.

I went back today and tried the chicken. Some of the best chicken I've ever had, and at $6 for a half bird, it's cheap. Dad and I each got a half bird, a side, and a soda for me, bottle water for him and it was $19. You'll pay around $14 for a half bird, two sides and a drink at C&Js for dry chicken.
'Kreuz' ... how do you properly pronounce that?
It is pronounced krites
