| - This joint is worn, and a little tattered, and not just around the edges - the kind of place that aspires to one day, with some fixing up, be a dive, and this is the place they moved into - don't even ask about the old one. This restaurant has been around and stays busy, but frankly, the barbecue is not what it once was, and the service has suffered as well in the larger building.
The chopped barbecue is sort of a hybrid, more Eastern than Lexington, but not quite either. The chop is moderate, and it comes sauced from the kitchen, tender, moist, but no smokiness. The net result is a bland product that often arrives luke warm. I'd pass on the barbecue, there is better in Concord.
Now the breakfast here is very good, and portions ample. They have the usual breakfast menu items, with a twist or two, like liver pudding, which I happen to like, once in a while. And some of the country cooking items, especially the CS Steak, are excellent. And the hot dog here is especially good - nice chili, soft bun, red wiener.
The service here is inconsistent - pretty good one time, in the toliet the next, and this can be true whether it is a peak time or not. Old girls, they do get weary.
