| - Let me start by saying I've noticed the owners here post very heated responses and even got previous negative reviews flagged or hidden somehow. Let me save you the trouble and tell you don't bother calling me a shill or anything like that; I genuinely did not enjoy your food here at all. Take the criticism and build from it, stop acting dramatic and making it sound like everyone is out to get you.
We live nearby, and I've been here a total of 3 or 4 times, and was thoroughly disappointed on every single visit. My little brother even played hockey with one of the two brothers, even has a nickname for him, so trust me when we tell you we genuinely went in here wanting to like the place.
Let's start with their "Beanasaurus" pulled pork sandwich. Calling it the beanasaurus is definitely a wise choice because the pork is bland as hell, reheated, and the entire sandwich tastes ONLY of beans. No smoke ring or noticeable smoke flavor at all to be found in the pork itself. Not an offensive sandwich, but very very ordinary and bland as anything..
"Beefeater" sandwich fares a little better I guess, my buddy says it's the only good thing on the entire menu and I'd agree that it's "decent" but still not very good. Main complaints, again, is that the meat itself doesn't taste smoked in the least, and is very bland. The beef is completely grey and cooked through, and there is no evidence of smoking via a smoke ring or anything like that at all. The "okra shrimp crunch" topping is mostly okra and little miniature shrimps that nobody likes. You'd be way better off breading and frying respectable sized shrimp and just cutting them down to size to spread them out.
Tried their "brisket sandwich panini with cheese" on another visit and AGAIN, it's just underseasoned, undersmoked, and bland, but with the added bonus of oozing grease as well. It's just boring reheated sliced meat topped with cheese that doesn't seem to compliment it at all, pushed in a panini press. Squished the sandwich with my hands after a lackluster first couple of bites and it was just swimming in grease, didn't even bother finishing it.
Now lets address their ridiculous misspelling of "ABT's". ABT's are a common appetizer consisting of deseeded jalepenos stuffed with cream cheese and chorizo, wrapped in bacon, then smoked. Well, Sul Irmaos called them "ATB's", completely misspelling it, and when asking them why they are called something different they tell me "It's just our spin on it".. Your spin on it is ripping off a different dish then misspelling it without even changing anything? What?? I don't get this at all. ABT's stand for something, ATB's don't. There's no unique spin on it to justify bastardizing the name! The ABT's themselves were ultra soggy, the bacon was totally limp and had no crisp edge to it at all, leading me to believe that these were cooked WELL in advance and reheated to order. 7 bucks gets you 5 tiny ones.
French fries, hideous. Among the worst I have ever had. Soggy, limp, fried at the completely wrong temperature, and probably incorrect method as well. Good fries should be at the least double fried when you're doing them fresh cut. If you're cutting a bunch of misshappen fries and single frying them, the water has not evaporated from the potatoes themselves and they just suck up all the fryer oil while never getting crispy.
Potato Skins are not like you imagine; there is no nicely halved or scooped out potatoes stuffed with cheese, bacon, chives, or sour cream. Their potato skins are literally the crusty peeled skins from the outside of the potatoes, fried like a potato chip, and overloaded with BBQ seasoning. At least these are cooked better than the french fries, so if you're going to do a side dish, these should be them.
Breaded Mac & Cheese bites are like 6 or 7 bucks for 5 tiny "bites". Horrible value. Then they stick them in a gigantic styrofoam box, to get you excited, but when you open the box up, there is nothing inside except a miserable little portion that will just make you angry. Taste of these aren't too bad either but can't be justified due to the horrible value
The icing on the cake to all of this is the time that we tried requesting an added condiment to a buddies sandwich. The brother tells us that adding the condiment was "our risk" and they don't recommend it because it doesn't match the "flavor profile" they carefully constructed. WHAT? Is your ego that big, really?
The rest of the menu just sounds bizarre and unappealling as a whole. Turkey and waffle sandwich instead of chicken? Huh?
I am seriously disappointed in the previous Yelpers glowing reviews of the place until I observed that most of them are suspiciously new reviewers.
I have a lot of mutual friends of these two brothers on Facebook, but the only people I ever hear talking about it are friends of theirs shilling the place
Guys, don't take the criticism personal, if you change anything, let us know
