This is dining at its most primitive, definitely not for anyone who cares about how the food they eat is prepared and whether or not it is healthful, but I was eating out with others including someone whose interest had been piqued by the supposed authentic southern fare. With the exception of the chicken, which on this occasion was very good, everything was disappointing, some of it very much so. No one in our party of four found it lived up to the reviews. I'd recommend going elsewhere, but if you simply must try this place you might consider buying some of the chicken--or other meat which might be okay next time since it appears to be a bit of a crap shoot--and taking it home to have with some good, healthful vegetable dishes. Any you choose to make are bound to be better than what you get at Blackstrap BBQ.
