| - I'm sorry to report that as somebody from Southern US - this place falls way short of serving BBQ food, which should be both comforting and absolutely delicious.
Sadly, my fried chicken was both burnt and extremely salty and the fake beef stock 'gravy' is something more befitting of a late night cheap poutine than a sauce for the chicken, so it ends up just more heavy salt on top of already salty food. I kept drinking water in order to finish these.
The mac and cheese here seemed satisfied to call itself mac and cheese as long as tons of cheese was draped on top, and was okay compared to the rest of the food, but very cheesy rather than super delicious and addictive.
On paper the house rice sounds nice - garlic butter, peas, beans - but at the end it tastes like all of these ingredients separately, and was overall bland and dry - dry with an overall texture of 'mushy', which was interesting to say the least. This was particularly disappointing because of how easy and cheap dirty rice is to make at home - and how delicious the outcome is supposed to be.
And most egregiously to a BBQ fan was the actual BBQ sauce was way too sweet and not balanced with tang and spice like the real good ones.
Sorry guys, you've gotta try harder if you want me back! Interior and staff are nice, only reason for the two stars, but sadly will not be returning.
