The smell of the place was great. The manager seated us and was very enthusiastic. The waiter on the other hand, not so much. He seemed to not really care about my questions and just wanted to churn us out. We got the bacon wrapped meat balls and the brisket/pulled pork/chicken platter. We decided to share everything since it was a bit spendy. The food was good. The pulled pork was definitely the star of the show. Closest I have gotten to real NC BBQ in years, and the best I have had on the west coast. I would go back just for the pork. Everything else? Just okay. Not spectacular but not bad either. Honestly I had better at Famous Dave's at half the price.
