| - I am really torn about this place because the server Jillian was fantastic, the name is catchy, the smell when you walk in is good, and the atmosphere was nice, but unfortunately the food wasn't enough to make us want to come back, especially for those prices.
We went there for my birthday (and they did get us some cupcakes to go on the house-1 chocolate salted caramel and 3 maple bacon which were...pretty, but weird tasting).
I got the 2 meat platter...ribs and pulled pork with sides of cole slaw and mac n cheese. I always get ribs naked and if I need sauce I usually find a decent spicy one at any BBQ joint. Their spicy sauces were not good. I felt like they tasted like tequila for some reason. I'm not sure if they were meant to, but it wasn't a good flavor for a bbq sauce. Also...other reviews have talked about the ribs falling off the bone. Uhhh...mine did not. As a matter of fact, I only ate a little meat off the top and when my boyfriend asked why I explained that I couldn't get the meat off of any of the other parts bc it was tough.
So...the pulled pork was ok...not much seasoning or smoke flavor but y'know...tasted like pork. There were a few gristly floppy fat things that I personally don't like, but maybe some people do.
The cole slaw was bad...like...not creamy and had some really strange flavor. I don't know what it was but it was gross and I didn't eat it. Normally I love cole slaw on my pulled pork, but this one would've ruined the pork.
The mac n cheese was good (as recommended by Jillian) but one good side isn't enough to make me come back.
My boyfriend got a steak. It was cooked perfectly as he ordered it, but it had no flavor. I would swear it wasn't seasoned AT ALL. Just a plain steak, flopped on a grill for some nice grill marks and served just like that. It was pretty bad. He doesn't eat veggies much but I tasted his green beans...they were very uhhh...fresh? Is that the nice way to say that something wasn't really cooked or seasoned? They were almost raw. I personally don't like green beans like that, but maybe some people do. If so...get them here. He had mashed potatoes too and they were pretty bland too. I guess if you serve a bland steak and bland green beans it's probably good to have bland potatoes with them so you don't accentuate the blandness of the other two items.
I almost forgot about appetizers! My dad ordered some redneck tacos for an appetizer. They were...ehhh...I wouldn't order them again. They were basically some pork and that funky tasting cole slaw on top of what basically tasted like a pancake. I had to cut it up to eat it with a fork, and didn't finish it bc it was so weird tasting.
We also shared some burnt ends which I normally love at BBQ places. They had strange flavor. Not sure if it was the meat or the sauce. I didn't care for them.
So like I said, the server was wonderful, but the food's just not enough to make it a place I'll return to.
