| - Talk about a contrast in restaurants and customer service. My fiancee and I were trying to have a nice night out, the first restaurant we went to pretty much ignored us until we got up and walked out. On the flip side this place was welcoming and our server was fantastic. She was prompt in refilling our drinks and did everything she could to make it a great experience. Her name was Marsi, want to make sure I give her all the credit in the world.
Anyway, I ordered the chicken fried chicken and my fiancee ordered the smoked sampler. Our food arrived, though our server said she was not happy with the country gravy, she felt it was too watery, but brought it in a cup so I could judge for myself. It was extremely watery for whatever reason, and she came back saying that her manager wanted to take the whole plate back so they could prepare everything again (I did not complain once, all this was initiated by the server from the start) and that I'd be comped on my portion of the dinner.
While waiting I tried a bit of the brisket my finacee had and it was really excellent. My fiancee said the whole dish was good except she wasn't too thrilled with the type of cut they used for the pork ribs, but overall it was a really good meal. My dish arrived, and it was the best chicken fried chicken I've ever had, the breaded chicken breast was super tender, almost melt in your mouth, and the breading was flavorful and light, almost a tempura style. The remade gravy was just the right consistency and really good all on its own. The side of green chile mac & cheese, something I've never had before was excellent as well, along with the steak fries, which is saying a lot since I usually don't care for steak fries.
We will back again, they helped salvage what was looking to be a bad night out. The place may be kind of pricey but from what I tried it was worth it.
