| - Four stars for our server Rory. Two very large parties came in right after us, pretty much creating a standing room only situation in the bar/restaurant. Rory somehow continued to make sure my husband and I were taken care of.
First: I would not classify this as a restaurant, it is clearly a bar. Nothing wrong with a bar, love a good bar or a good dive, depending on the situation and mood.
Second: Hands down one of the worst meals my husband and I have had the misfortune to eat. We each had a 2 meat platter that was quite small for the price. I had smoked turkey and ribs, with garlic mashed potatoes and jalapeno slaw. My husband had the brisket and ribs, with jalapeno mac and cheese and slaw. ALL the meats were extremely dry small portions and were much more like jerky than a delectable smoked meat. The seasoning and smoke, were distinctly missing and there was no evidence of a smoke ring. The garlic mashed potatoes may have had a clove of garlic waved over them at some point, but you couldn't prove it by me. They were also extremely dry. The jalapeno mac and cheese was missing the cheese. The pasta was covered with some kind of watery, weird tasting, non creamy, non cheesy sauce. There was zero "kick" to it. The portion was fairly generous, but big deal, it was terrible. The best part of our meal was the slaw and it was average, at best.
After having this on our "must try" list for quite some time, it was an epic disappoint. Needless to say, we won't be back!
