| - sadly, my only southern bbq experience was here, only out of convenience since it was within walking distance to our hotel. the local coworkers weren't fans of it either. the food wasn't THAT bad, but the service was horrid by one of our two servers. we were a group of about 12, and the female waitress was in her own little world. example, she forgot about our cornbread, saying she wasn't sure if we were ordering it since we had ordered fried kettle chips. really? when our senior VP asked for Kendall Chardonnay, she repeats it as Ketel One? Really?!?! 5 people ordered wine, and the first 3 got it in wine glasses. the other 2 got it in irish coffee mugs as they ran out of wine glasses, i think the 3 were the only ones in the restaurant. oh when our Senior VP asked about his glass of wine, she told him they were still making it. making wine? really? sorry, but she got on my dang nerves as she was forgetting everything, and never asking if we needed anything. our other server, jared was great and prompt. however, he said he made my mojito, and it was the sweetest mojito i ever had. as sweet as the sweet tea. no bueno. i didnt taste any alcohol.
the fried kettle chips were good, but the only sauce that was good was the bleu cheese. i got the sweet tea, as i wanted to try everything southern, and the first was uber sweet. second one was not sweet at all! so odd. not consistent. the corn bread skillet, was very cake-y, not enjoyable.
i ordered the 3 item platter, as i wanted a taste of everything. had the sausage (Was told it would be spicy, yay!), pulled pork, and the beef brisket. i chose the fancier side of macaroni and cheese (a must for me) and their coleslaw. the mac and cheese, although we killed it, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. the coleslaw was just ok. the pulled pork was good, but it tasted like something i have had in CA. dissapointed. the brisket was bleh. the sausage was disgusting, and not spicy at all. oh i think the best thing was the texas toast like bread that came with the dish. sad.
lastly, their bathroom REEKS of URINE. i thought it was just me, but my other coworkers had the same reaction without me telling them beforehand. it's a large restroom (about 6 stalls), and it seriously smells like someone peed all over the ground. the employees must use this restroom, are they immune to it and have not noticed? yuck.
wouldnt come back again.
