This place is easily described in one word.... BI-POLAR!!! Either really good or really bad!
After scanning the menu, my daughter and I both decided to try BBQ sandwiches. She got the Pulled Pork and I couldn't decide between chicken and beef. Waitress said not the beef since it's unreliable and when it's bad it's really bad..... okkkaaaayyyy. Opted for the chicken and added cheese after her recommendation and ordered my sides. Waitress then asks me if I have any problem with bones since they often leave some small bones in on accident. Gross! I changed my order to a bacon cheeseburger... at $12 it better be good! We also ordered some cheese fries to start since we were starving!
Fries came and they had chili on it so they were returned and the waitress apologized... No biggie. Cheese fries finally came out and they were delicious! A few different types of cheese on top, good crispy fries underneath. Honestly some of the best cheese fries I've ever had!
Food came and burger was small and obviously a frozen patty. Super disappointed they use a frozen burger patty because they charge way too much for it! Bacon on the burger was delish though... Perfectly crispy and big pieces. I ordered mashed potatoes and chili as my sides. Chili was fine but not the best, I think it tasted a bit burnt so it could have been an old batch from yesterday or something. Mashed potatoes were amazing! Red skin potatoes and a good amount of richness in them.
I tried a bite of my daughters pulled pork sandwich and it was amazing!! Really good BBQ sauce! The BBQ might be what this place is known for, not sure.
Wayyyyy overpriced on most of the food and the soft drinks were almost $3 each!! WTF?? For a bar, these prices are outrageous!
Also, the place seems really really really dirrty! Like I am scared to know what behind the bar and kitchen looks like! Don't touch the menus too much and definitely avoid the drink menu on the table... there are layers and layers of filth and stickiness that made me want to vomit.
I will be back at least once hoping to find some better food choices. I am still a bit concerned over the dirty ness and the bones in the pulled chicken. Seems more like an issue with bad management though. A good manager would make a world of difference here.
BTW... Why are they closed on Sundays? With football happening on Sunday and them having such a great bar with big TV's, I would think this would be a busy day for them! There are few good sports bars downtown for families (not Hooters or Tilted Kilt) so it's a shame.
