A promising spot located in trendy NoDa with an industrial modern feel to it with exposed brick and wooden tables. We tried to use the NoWait app to get in line when we were on our way, but the app said there was no wait. Then did not update (despite refreshing) which meant when we arrived we were disappointed there was a 30 min wait. We decided to wait at the bar. We ordered drinks - which were OK - and a couple dishes (one of which never arrived). More than an hour later - 77 minutes to be exact - we still were not seated, the host did not say anything and wasn't that sympathetic to my disappointment in the wait. It was made worse when another (large) party arrived and were seated almost immediately (ahead of us). When we were seated someone came by and dropped a few appetizers on the table - not knowing what they were, looking perplexed - someone eventually explained they were on the house and what they were.
The food was hit or miss. The hush puppies were fresh and probably the best I've ever had. The ribs had a good smokey flavor, but they weren't very tender. The mac n' cheese - my go to side - left something to be desired.
All in all, not worth going for another long wait, but it had a lot of potential.
