| - Ugh, I hate to say it but... it wasn't good...
I've been eyeing this place for a while, all of the reviews and pictures had me drooling. So my friend and I made our way over yesterday and... behold disappointment!
We tried the meat and side sampler that's available with a Yelp check-in ($16pp). It came with Brisket, Pork Baby Back Ribs, Beef Ribs, Pulled Pork, and BBQ Chicken. The sampler produced lots of food but honestly wasn't worth it. Most of the meet was really dry. The brisket and pulled pork were least dry but just OK. Both turned out pretty fatty. The pulled pork was actually juicy in some parts and was fall apart consistency but dry and chunky in other parts.
Sides were OK, we got Mac n Cheese, Corn, Beans, Potato Salad, and some weird chunky potatoes - kind of like breakfast potatoes that had mash mixed into them? Mac n Cheese is my favorite side but it was not cheesy at all. It actually did not resemble what I have seen in other pictures at all. My favorite side here was the potato salad which I am usually not a fan of but it was the best side here. Food tasted like it wasn't fresh, especially the meat. The beef ribs were especially dry. Like super stiff pieces, dry.
The food is nothing I would come back for but the home made BBQ sauce and the nice owner is what added a star. I actually felt bad because the owner asked how we liked the food and I wanted to tell him! I felt bad doing so in front of other customers. It's a tiny place and you will not have a conversation at your table without all the other tables hearing it. Think, size of a master bedroom.
Who knows may be if the food was fresh it would taste better? I can't see how it wouldn't.
