I've been to The Barbecue Company on quite a few occasions and they always do a great job. It's in line with realistic expectations - good service, good food and comfortable/clean atmosphere.
The staff is always helpful, however our server said she doesn't eat meat. I have no problem with vegetarians but if you're going to work in a restaurant I expect some first-hand knowledge of the product. She did a great job at explaining popular favorites so it worked out. She was a very good and perfectly attentive server in all aspects (other than my petty preference outlined above).
I ordered their famous meatloaf. It's pretty damned good. I'm stuffed right now, and even the meatloaf burps are good. ;-)
