| - Came here with a couple of friends craving BBQ. I was dying to try the ribs and my bf really wanted the buttermilk fried chicken. Too bad neither were available. We read the reviews and knew it was going to be really busy - so we didn't mind the line up. The menu is small, but even smaller when they run out of things.
We were disappointed to hear that the ribs and chicken were sold out by the time we got there, but we thought we'd stay anyway. What was incredibly frustrating though, is that people after us kept ordering chicken, and we kept seeing it come out of the kitchen. It seems like they are sold out here and there - you have to place your order at the extra right time. That annoyed me b/c once we sat down, if they said I would have had to wait a bit longer but could order chicken, I would have said yes. That's why we came there! But instead, it was sold out when we were in line, back on the menu, but then sold out again when we sat down, and back on the menu after us.
The atmosphere was really cool, getting to see all of the food cooked in front of you - we sat at the bar - though disappointing when you see all the food you can't have go by you. Service was okay, but not great. But I guess it's too be expected in tight quarters when it's incredibly busy.
My disappointment aside, the brisket and fries that I did eat were delicious. Lesson learned, plan to have dinner at 4pm and I'll probably get what I want! The food was so tasty, it's worth coming back to try again.
