| - I want to give them four or five stars, but I can't.... yet. There is a good chance the negatives are from opening kinks, but it is what it is. I will try again and update.
We had pulled pork, St. Louis ribs, mac and cheese, and corn bread. This place has real BBQ. you can smell it from the sidewalk and you can taste the smoke exactly how you should. The pulled porked was really good. I can't say great becuase it was a little tough. The ribs were way too tough. Like another reviewer, I had to cut them apart with a knife. Ribs are hard to cook in smoke. Really hard. But, you expect a BBQ joint to get it right. The mac and cheese is just OK. The cornbread is crumbly. To steer back towards the positive, I will say the flavor was just about what I would expect out of a smoke pit. My hands still smell like smoke and that is a good thing.
They obvioulsy are going through some opening difficulties. We would have had baked beans, but they forgot to put it in the order. That is part of the reason I am knocking stars off. They also lost my online order. I heistate to report that becuae things happen and they were genuinely sorry for it. But, in the interest of full disclosure, there you have it.
For $30, we had enough food to feed four people (I ordered for my wife and I). The rack of ribs was huge. There was also a generous amount of pulled pork.
I wouldn't hesitate to eat there again and I would recommend to anyone else. It is hard to find real BBQ here and this is the real thing. I think they will dial it in. They are brand new and you can tell the passion is there.
