| - It was recommended by a co-worker of mine to try this place out since I was craving BBQ for lunch. I was pleasantly impressed! Most BBQ places around here that I've been to were just Carolina style BBQ (which I'm not a huge fan of), but this place wasn't limited to just that, very nice selection.
I got there at around 12:45pm (since it was recommended not to go right at noon) and I was a little intimidated by the amount of people there. I wasn't going for a dine in kind of meal, but it was nice to see the take out menu at the hostess stand. Honestly, it took me longer to figure out what I wanted to eat than waiting on my food. I was instructed to go to the bar to order my to go meal and the time it took me to figure out a tip and sign my bill, my food was out!
Side note: because I was on my lunch break, I didn't drink but this is def. a place I want to check out for after work drinks. I liked the bar (was the longest bar I've seen in a long time in a restaurant), it was clean (not like those sticky nasty bars that you have to take a shower if you put your arm on it), and the bar tender that was there was really nice.
The food: AWESOME!! I haven't had BBQ this good since I moved up to the Charlotte area from Orlando. I ordered the Texas Beef Brisket sandwich with a side of mac n cheese. Normally I would go for pulled pork but I saw somebody else eating the same thing and thought it was worth a try. I was expecting the beef to be tough like jerky but I didn't even have to "saw" through the meat when taking a bite, it just separated so nice! The flavor was fantastic, not smothered in BBQ sauce to where you couldn't taste the meat. It's been a long time since i've had BBQ like that, where you can taste the meat you ordered instead of just the BBQ sauce! The mac n cheese, DREAMY! It wasn't greasy and it had a nice blend of cheese and pepper. So great!
The only down fall is their parking lot is really small and from what I hear (not just on yelp), it stays crowded.
