| - We ended up at OCBC due to the false pretenses of $.58 chicken sandwiches at Chic-fil-a. It's a long story but henceforth I shall not trust any Twitter posts or my 14 year old daughter . That's all I have to say about that. But enough about me...
Let's break it down:
1) Atmosphere - Wide open spaces with casual décor. Nice high ceilings open the place up and make you feel like you have a lot of elbow and sticky fingers room. Plenty and variable seating options (high tables, benches, lower tables). Also, there's an industrial sized glass garage door that will open up to the sidewalk during the rare occasion of nice weather in NEO. I especially liked the nice touch of metal pipe (fastened to the table) paper towel dispenser. The ordering line is delineated by a short wooden wall bordering your right with a full height wall on your left. The main menu is mounted on the wall and it's totally IN YOUR FACE. I had to lean backwards over the short wall to read the thing. Where's OSHA when you need them. Overall, I totally dug the vibe though!
2) Service - you order at the counter and the staff was very attentive and fast. They even showed patience when I was visually struggling with the massive (dimensions) menu two inches from my face (or so it seemed). The order was taken accurately and we were awarded an order number to place at our table for delivery. We filled our self-serve drinks and collected our utensils, condiments and sauces at the designated area, which had middle school cafeteria floor stickiness to it. Once we seated ourselves, it was only a matter of few minutes before our food arrived via a friendly staff member. Once we scarfed our mass quantities we were informed the table will be bussed/bused (cleaned off) for us.
3) Food - I love BBQ. I'm not an expert or a warrior of the Texas vs. Carolina vs. St. Louis wars. I just love goo gobs of meat saturated in tangy sauces. My apologies (or rather sympathies) to my vegan friends... I ordered the brisket sandwich special which includes a side (baked beans in my case). Its goo gobs I wanted, its goo gobs I got. My sandwich was piled high with 1/4 sliced, succulent, tender strips with a very nice smoke ring. I slathered on various sauces and was lost to the World for 15 minutes. I came up for air and ate some of the delicious and somewhat spicy baked beans. I had chosen wisely. After my food coma I was told by everyone they very much enjoyed their food as well.
4) Value - Since I usually feed 5 people at a time and given the comfortable atmosphere, enthusiastic service, excellent food quality I give it a thumps up! 4 people gorged themselves for a total of $38...not bad!
