| - After living in North Carolina for the past 4 years, I decided to try this "Cleveland" style of BBQ. Had the Big Pig sandwich with a side of J.W. Potatoes. They were both really good. The sandwiches come on a hoagy but, which was too much bread for me, so I only ate one side of the bun. Problem is - the tasty juices soak into the bun, so I missed out on some good bread! Anyway, the pork belly was diced with a nice flavor and the Cole slaw had cilantro it it, which was new to me and refreshing. It was a vinaigrette type Cole slaw - not a creamy type.
The potatoes were steamed, then cut into big chunks and browned. They were finished with some concoction that had vinegar of some type. They were good, but I thought they were dry and needed some kind of dipping sauce. Sandwich was $13 and potatoes were $6. I thought it was a little pricey but, being Michael Symon's new restaurant, it's trendy and that's what you pay for. Didn't try any of the craft beers, but I was told that they use a lot of European beers, because they pair well with BBQ.
Decor is industrial - wood and metal. I ate at the bar and was comfortable.
