| - Let me start by saying, I was surprisingly amazed by this slightly upscale-hipster bbq spot. Two co-workers and I got off work early and wanted bbq. Two of us are avid backyard pitmasters ourselves, so when he suggested Pot Liquor, I was game to see what he was all joyous about.
I will say that my experience here rates a 5 based on a combination of atmosphere, service, and good food.
The restaurant, as I eluded, is not your typical bbq joint, and I have visited my share in Kansas City, Texas, Memphis, and Arkansas, as well as Nevada. It was in fact very hipster and had a unique vibe with the staff, young and spirited. The restaurant was also very clean and comfortable.
The restaurant hosted a decent selection of craft and domestic beers, as well as a fully stocked bar.
Our waitress, Dani, was hip and cool. She was so helpful to us as we attempted to make our selections. In fact, not knowing the menu, we almost ordered three separate selections just to get a sampling of everything. Now, Dani could have taken our money, let us order way to much food, and sent us off fat and happy, just making money for the venue, however, Dani stopped us, gave us her honest opinion on what our best bet was and saved us probably $60! To me that is service.
Now, the food. For appetizers, we went with pork skins and burnt ends. Now, I am not a big pork skin fan, but these things came out smelling awesome AND crackling. They were delicious! The burnt ends were good, in my opinion, cut a little large, but very tender and flavorful. The sides, we chose were the greens, mac and cheese, and candied yams. These were all very tasteful, however, I tried not to dig into them to much, because I was saving room for the meat!.
The main dishes consisted of sliced brisket, baby back pork ribs, beef spare ribs, Carolina style pulled pork, smoked sausage, and a 1/2 chicken.
I could write a book going over each meat, so I will just say that I was not disapointed in what this hipster bbq joint turned out. My favorite by far were the beef spare ribs, which is suprising because I am a baby back pork rib fan anyday of the week. But these beef spare ribs were tender and juicy, with a really great seasoning. I was also glad that they were served dry.
Finally, if you are concerned about sauces, they brought out a tray of various kinds, but if you want heat, you have to ask for it. Their habanero sauce was reported to be 8 out of 10, and it definitely lived up to it! It was hot though, without overpowering the meat.
All in all, I would suggest any bbq aficionado to check out Pot Liquor. The prices are a little higher, so I would not suggest it for a large family with kids, who aren't going to be eating much, unless you just want to splurge.
*on a final note, we learned one of the two chefs who started Pot Liquor had just passed away. Dani shared this with us and she became very moved. I could tell and I told her that I felt they are very family oriented and she quickly said this was a second family to her, and it definitly showed.
