| - Finally checked out this bbq joint. On entrance, I wasn't impressed. Everyone was at the bar, and the bartender had some dirty pan with oil and was waving it around, joking about it with the customers. Moving on... we sat ourselves in the back of the restaurant (completely empty btw). Atmosphere is unimpressive, but I didn't come here for fine dining.
Ordered drinks. Bf got some hoppy beer, which had this really funky (in a good way) smell, and was actually quite delicious (has a kick to it). I usually don't like beer, so this was some really good stuff. I ordered hard cider. The waitress brought out a 4/5 filled glass, and said it was on the house since it was at the bottom of the keg. Sweeeet. Love free stuff. + 1 star for the hospitality.
The food... so much yummy sounding stuff on the menu. Ultimately, decided on stupid fries. Fries with beans and slaw topped with a heavy layer of cheese. SO yummy. I don't even like beans or slaw, but the slaw really really complimented the fries. It was not too cabbagey, and had a nice vinegary taste. However, I did not like the beef brisket in the fries; the brisket pieces were fatty, and not what I expected.
The main entrees. My friend got 1/2 turkey ribs and 1/2 of something else - forgot what sauce she got. Bf got spicy bbq St. Louis ribs. He really liked it. Friend and bf did not like the collard greens that they picked as their sides, but more for me! I got pulled pork with carolina bbq sauce. Dish came with a piece of corn bread (which was meh - fell apart before I could put on the butter), two sides. I loved the mac and cheese. The mac had lots of cream in it, and was also topped with another heavy layer of cheese. Very flavorful. Collard greens was slightly too salty for my taste, but still really really flavorful. Has some nice turkey pieces inside. Pulled pork had a nice tang, was juicy and succulent.
WAY TOO MUCH FOOD.
The only thing I didn't like were the prices. Wish they would offer 1/2 the dish for 1/2 the cost. Maybe next time, I'll get the pulled pork sandwich, and try the fried green tomatoes.
