| - This place was unexpectedly great. I had the three meat sampler, which was supposed to include brisket, ribs, and pulled pork, but they were out of brisket and subbed in chicken instead. Once the food came I didn't complain. The ribs were smoky and flavorful, the pulled pork was moist and flavorful, and the chicken had a great bbq flavor.
For sauce, there is Sweet Baby Ray's at every table, which I was disappointed by, but when the food came the girl who served it brought out something called 'Moose Sauce', which is apparently named after a dog who happens to fancy it. Or something. Either way, it was excellent, and has sharp flavors of cider vinegar and cinnamon with a spicy tomato base. It was unique and definitely beats Sweet Baby Ray's.
I also ordered the cowboy beans and the 'deconstructed' cole slaw as sides, and they too were excellent. The beans were served in a perfect bbq sauce, and the cole slaw was 'deconstructed' - meaning the sauce for it came on the side and you had to mix it in. I thought this was a great idea, and have never seen it before, because it made the cole slaw perfectly crispy and crunchy, never allowing it to get soggy. The cole slaw sauce was a sweet buttermilk ranch flavor, and was also excellent.
On top of all this, you get a deep fried dinner roll, which is simultaneously sinful, indulgent, and amazing.
My only complaint is that, for first timers at least, there is a little confusion on what to do when you walk in the door. We weren't sure if it was counter service or table service, so a little stand-up sign by the door indicating what to do would be great.
