| - Really would rate this a 3.5 instead of a 3.
Short version: Nothing to write home about but nothing bad either. Overall, it's ok. Biscuits and Mac n Cheese are absolutely delicious though.
Long version: Hubs and I ordered the Smoked Riblets and Smoked Mild Wings for Appetizers, 3 meat combo for entree and one sweet tea and one unsweet peach tea for drinks.
Smoked Riblets were good. They were very tender and the meat fell off the bone nicely. Nothing spectacular about it, but good. The Smoked Wings, however, are not smoked. They don't taste like smoked wings and they don't have the characteristic pink/red coloration that happens with smoked meats. Maybe it's just the way they supposedly smoke them that makes them different? I don't know but I ain't buying it. Do they taste good? They are ok, nothing remarkable. The bleu cheese sauce is pretty deplorable though; not a single chunk of bleu cheese and it was on the watery side.
For the 3 meat combo we chose Hot Links, Brisket and Pulled Pork. All 3 were good but none really stood out. They were served with no sauce, which is fine as all meats were moist and reasonably seasoned but I just happen to prefer saucy bbq.
The sauces on the table were their original sauce and the habanero sauce. I didn't care much for either as I tend to prefer more sweet sauces and these were more of a vinegar base. They were not bad, just not my preference. Out of the two, I liked the habanero more as it has really nice heat and smoky flavor but lacked the sweetness that I prefer.
For "trimmings" we ordered the Mac n Cheese and the collard greens. The Mac n Cheese was delicious. Not too dry, not overly cheesy, not over/under salted...it was great. The collard greens were ok. Again, not bad, just nothing remarkable about them.
Hubby's sweet tea was good. My unsweetened peach tea was unsweetened tea with diced peaches in syrup poured into it (I saw it get prepared at the bar). Tasted nothing like peach tea and I was disappointed to get something with syrup in it when I asked for an unsweetened beverage. Not that It made the tea any sweeter tasting but it makes avoiding sugar pointless.
Though our waitress was polite and attentive, she seemed kind of "flat" and brought us our check without us even asking for it or asking if we wanted dessert. That is a huge pet peeve of mine. She seemed like maybe she wasn't feeling well. She was on top of the hubby's drink refill (one cup is usually plenty for me) and did come around to check on us but then brought the tab unexpectedly.
The best things about our experience was the friendly hostess, the biscuits (oh my God, those biscuits were damn delicious) and the Mac n Cheese.
