| - I recently went and tried a sampling platter. Most of the items were great. I highly recommend the ribs (I wonder what was in the rub...they were delicious), the wings, baked beans, cheddar biscuits, sausage, and brisket. The pulled pork was a bit bland, particularly in light of the sparse portion of sauce (see below). The coleslaw was a bit of a miss--too much vinegar with few other flavours to balance it out.
My biggest complaint about the food related to the BBQ sauce, which is obviously essential for any BBQ joint. With the platters, you get two sauces, and we chose mustard and spicy BBQ. Two small BBQ sauces for an entire platter of meat is not sufficient. Furthermore, the spicy sauce was not spicy and the mustard sauce was just plain mustard (which was annoying because I had specifically asked if it was " a mustard based BBQ sauce"). Who wants to put straight mustard on wings or brisket?
My other complaints don't relate to the food. First, the service was painfully slow. Second, the atmosphere is totally depressing. There is no natural lighting in the back seating area and no decor whatsoever. I've eaten in cafeterias with more ambiance.
