| - Very interesting place. The tables are spread out, making it a good place to hang out with friends, since you aren't crammed in. The decor is nice, the hostesses cute, basically everything you'd expect out of a Town Square restaurant.
The manager is super welcoming, has real conversations with the patrons, and seems legitimately interested in talking to people, not just the "is everything fine?" line that a lot of managers have as they run around the restaurant.
The food is interesting and unique. Here is my take.
The food is reasonably priced for Las Vegas BBQ, which is to say, unreasonably priced anywhere else, but thats par for the course here.
The meat is all smoked in a real smoker that uses real wood, I've seen the smoker, you can see the wood piled around the restaurant. The pork seems like good pork (though I'm not a huge fan of pork), the brisket was very tender and flavorful, which IMO means its a shame that they don't have more beef products, I bet they'd be great.
So what I've had thus far.
Bacon Steak - Uncured, its like a pork loin. Its "good", but I prefer cured bacon.
Hot Links - Excellent. The herbs taste "bright", probably freshly made there. Not spicy, I'd say a 5 or less, I can't perceive heat below a 7 at this point, but another person at a table said it had a "kick", thus my impression that its a 5. It was a very "different" flavor, some might not like it, but I say give it a chance.
Mac & Cheese - I don't eat it, but everyone else seemed to love it.
Pot Pie - The pastry is puff pastry in an interesting latticework pattern floating on top of the chicken soup. The chicken soup is amazing, the puff pastry is puff pastry (blandish).
Sweet Potatoes - Interestingly served with lemon zest giving it a citrusy freshness that I disliked and everyone else really loved. They put marshmallow cream on top and toasted it, which I now do on my own sweet potatoes, but I leave out the lemon zest.
Brisket Hamburger - This was amazing, a very generous portion of brisket, a great tasting hamburger, good bun. Really tasty. I ate my leftovers cold the next day and was yummy.
French Fries - Yummy thick cut french fries. Not necessarily fancy, but seemed fresh (but none of the burnt starch problem like a lot of fresh fries, which I like.
pork ribs of various types - nice amount of meat, smokey flavor, its pork, probably good.
For dessert, we've had the pumpkin fried pies and had brownie bread budding. My friend loved the brownie bread pudding, but IMO it was overly toasted, with a slightly burnt flavor. My friend likes burnt brownies so whatever.
So in the end, I didn't love the place as much as I do Lucilles. Its not an apples & apples comparison, Pot Liquor doesn't have baked potatoes nor beef ribs, two of the most ordered things I get at Lucilles. Pot Liquor made me go outside of my box for a lot of things, which is interesting and revitalizing. My friends might want to go a lot, they seemed to like the flavors more than I did.
I would like to experience beef ribs here, and I'd like to try the brownie bread pudding again to see if they intentionally make it that dark.
