This one night we came just to sample the "Burnt ends with Mac and Cheese" and were greatly disappointed. It was poorly executed and not up to par with a place that serves such good meats and cocktails.
You would think with "Burnt ends" the Mac and Cheese would be oven baked and broiled so that accordingly you get crisp, charred bits of macaroni on the top surace along with baked bits of cheese. The cheese sauce should be thick and creamy and the pasta should be chewy. ..
Instead the opposite was true. It was all done wrong. The macaroni was WAY overcooked and reduced to baby food consistency with no texture. The cheese was barely existent and the sauce was a watery, drippy mess. How sad to have those bits of burnt ends so mistreated by swimming in this diluted watery mess.
We came back home and the next day made a respectable casserole of oven-baked and broil-finished mac and cheese just to get that sad, pathetic memory washed out of our brains.

Having said that - the smoked meats here are superb. Side dishes unfortunately, fall flat including the mayo-based cole slaw. Yech. Plenty of room for improvement. We'll be back but will avoid the side dishes
