This place was just ok from the start.
I am pretty sure the overwelming smoked flavor of the brisket was from liquid smoke, otherwise it was half way decent. As a side note I had to get up in the middle of the night and scrub my hands and face because of the overwelming bbq smell.
The sides were pretty good, both the slaw and the fries ranked pretty high.
My meal was served with out any napkins and my hands were covered in BBQ sauce before I realized just what was happening.
My waitress was fine,but not fun or with any personal touch, and my overall impression was that the entire staff was dialing it in.
If I was paying for that meal I wouldnt have been happy, but with a comp it was a decent option to another buffet.
I bet this place could be, or was at one time alot of fun.
If you dont buy into the hype and or expect authentic BBQ, just have a big drink you will do fine here.
