This place was cool, I was expecting more. It's quite nice on the inside. We were seated pretty quickly, considering how busy it was on a Thursday evening. We ordered drinks to start, a Suffering Bastard and Spiced Pear. They were both pretty weak, though the Spiced Pear had better flavor. If you've ever been to Porco Tiki bar, this Suffering Baster doesn't compare. We ordered crab cakes, which were good. They were just small. I would have much preferred 2 larger cakes to 3 small cakes. SO ordered the ribs with sweet potato fries and onion rings. The rings are battered and not breaded (which is a big deal to me lol, breaded always cuts gums). The ribs were pretty tasty as was the cornbread they brought out. I ordered the brisket and was immediately disappointed. It was dry AF! We didn't even finish it. Thank goodness I had my dirty grits and mac & cheese to keep the hungries away. We did get a second round of lackluster cocktails: he a gin & tonic and I got the Devil's grandma. We decided to skip dessert since we weren't impressed with the offerings. Service was adequate and the atmosphere was fine. But if I want upscale BBQ, I'll probably stick to Mabel's.
