Went for dinner. It was about 6:45 on a Saturday night. It wasn't packed but I would say 75% of the tables were occupied. We both ordered a brisket dinner. It took at least 1/2 an hour to get our food. Since brisket would already be cooked and the sides would already be prepared, this was way too long.
We waited at least 10 minutes for iced tea as they had to make more. It was good tea, but at what would normally be a peak time and given the fact there seemed to be a lot of wait and hostess staff for the number of patrons, this was our first clue that the service might be an issue.
We sat and watched at least 5 tables that came in after us get served before us. There was no explanation and the waitress told us she gave us $5 off for having to wait so long but that was not reflected on our bill.
The brisket was good and the portion generous but we didn't like the pit beans, especially compared to Black Dog or what Smoke served. The O&V slaw was ok. My husband got the au gratin potatoes and liked them. None of the 5 sauces wowed us.
I might try to carry out some lunch specials as I'd like to try a couple of other things like the smoked pepper turkey, but as far as going in to sit down & eat, nope.
