| - Maybe 2.5*, but I've definitely had better bbq elsewhere (Holy Smokez) and have made better pulled chicken/pork, minus the smoke, in my slow cooker!
Reception: Icy. Absolutely NO estimation of time or acknowledgment for patrons who are standing at the door, waiting for seats. Younger waitress looked like she was trying her best to ignore the steady stream of people coming in.
I had to ask for a menu to look at while we waited. Only menu was posted outside the door.
Looking back, we should've left, but I have been looking forward to coming here for soo long and the smell of the smoke kept me there.
While waiting, we heard the waitress tell customers, who were just seated, that they had ran out of certain items. From reading the other reviews, I guess they haven't resolved this issue yet. Not good.
After ~30mins, we were finally seated, still without any sort of acknowledgment. I asked about whether or not 2 people can split the 2 meat platter that came with a bunch of sides. The young waitress (Eastern European?) curtly says that they'd have to charge us an extra $6.50 if we do that. No further explanation of whether or not that extra money gets us a larger portion. I wasn't in the mood to argue, so I just left it and we ordered separate platters with 1 meat ($11.95ea).
The waitress goes on to tell us what sides we can order, so I choose my sides (1 not from her list, but on menu), and she repeats her list again in a condescending fashion. How am I supposed to know that they DIDN'T have the items that she didn't mention?
Food: Fairly large portions. For the Beef Brisket there were 4 slabs with more than half the plate covered in fries. Brisket was soft, I didn't have to press too hard with my knife to cut it. However, aside from the nice smoke, EVERYTHING was bland, even the potato salad/coleslaw. For the first time, I had to reach over and use the salt shaker on fries. They looked to be hand-cut, but weren't seasoned which made it difficult to eat. Pulled Chicken was slightly tastier, but it was doused in sauce.
I also reached over for the BBQ sauces to use on the Brisket and they also lacked sweetness/saltiness. To top it off, they were both watery. The ketchup/Frank's probably had the most flavour on the table!
While eating, I observed the younger waitress and one of the owners (Sandy?) tell people waiting that they ran out of food. Lotsa people left. The younger waitress has to work on her pleasantries/manners or get shorter shifts, she wasn't friendly at all and had lotsa attitude.
Verdict? Overrated, definitely NOT worth the wait. Food wasn't tasty enough to put up with that attitude. Sandy (??) appeared to be warmer, friendlier, but she never came to our table.
They hafta work on a system to deal with their small, 8-table restaurant Vs. steady stream of patrons coming in, some kinda system to acknowledge customers, and their lack of food.
