| - Okay - it's taken a while to do a follow up review because I wanted to try as much from the menu as possible and dine in as well. As life would have it, I've only just recently gotten around to getting in there.
And the results are....
Hmmm. Weeeell... Here's the deal folks. I LOVE BBQ! I grew up with it. I cook it at home, and I'll pick it almost over anything else that's fast and warm. This, however, does not make me a BBQ expert. That being said, I don't love their BBQ. The menu does have on it the usual BBQ items (pulled pork, brisket, ribs, etc.), but at the risk of upsetting the fragile Cotswold pallate, don't order those items. I love these guys and Cotswold is desperately missing a great BBQ joint, but this is not it. I know in my last review, I asked them not to mess around too much with BBQ, but they didn't listen to me, and mess around they have. And I'm glad they did!
Absolutely ALL of their appetizers are amaaaazing. You MUST try the BBQ Kale Chips, or the Improper Nachos. And I believe I've mentioned Twice-Baked Jalepenos previously. I mean, stuffed with cream cheese and chorizo? Can you find any reason to not want that?!? And their Good Luck Soup, albeit a bit messy to eat, is the perfect ping of pot-licker yumminess. Don't listen to their menu. It's nothing like Brunswick Stew. It IS like absolute tastiness! If there weren't so many other interesting things on the menu, I would just make a meal out of their apps. But if I did that, I would miss out on the tender Shrimp Tacos (although, their tortilla choice needs a bit of adjustment), or their Korean BBQ Salmon, or their Cowboy Rubbed Grilled Ribeye (perfectly cooked). And that would be a crying shame.
And their desserts! I've tried two of their cobblers. It's the kind of dessert that makes you feel guilty eating it, no matter how fit you are. And their Chocolate Cream Pie is the definition of decadence.
So, to sum up, I'm sorry. Truly. But if you want tender, slide off the bone, melt-in-your-mouth BBQ, this may not be the place for you. With my limited knowledge of BBQ preparation, just seems like they need a little more time - both on the grill and as a restaurant - to figure that part out.
But, if you want great service, fun environment, and something new and DELISH, please, please, please drop by the strangely and properly named Improper Pig. You will not regret it.
