| - I went over the weekend and the service was awful. Granted, there was a private party in the back, but we stood at the front waiting for a hostess for 10 minutes or so. Then spent another 5 minutes trying to get the bartenders attention regarding seat yourself vs. hostess seating
Already we were off on the wrong foot. We ended up sitting at the bar, since there were no seats. The beer list had a glare and was hard to read. They had no menu or list for their beers other than the board.
Our waiter/bartender was friendly, but coughed a lot. Not something you'd like if someone's coughing all over your beer glass.
I had brisket and pulled pork with cornbread. The brisket was called "Texas style" but was far from it. I grew up in Texas, I know what that brisket tastes and looks like. This was still good brisket, but didn't have the char or pink ring like a true Texas brisket.
The pulled pork was flavorful and not dry-I really liked that. The barbecue sauce and style is more like Kansas City or Tennessee sweet barbecue-miles away from Texas. Not bad, just different.
The cornbread was a teeny little muffin that was spongey, like a cake, and had a floral flavor. Not the crumbly good cornbread I expected. I wish there were more side options like green beans, fried okra, or corn casserole.
I'm not sure whether we'll be back. Over all, it was okay food, just very sweet.
