| - i've been enjoying the Kick Your Butt BBQ sauce for some time at Center Street Tavern so when i saw that they replaced the old Catawba Grill with their own bbq joint, i was excited to try it out. First off, it looks much nicer on the inside than the Grill with new hardwood looking floors, new ceiling, some paint, fresh booths. They did a decent job of transitioning the space to a more bbq joint appropriate feel.
You order from the counter and they bring it out, so you will encounter that awkward moment when signing your credit card slip immediately after ordering trying to predict if they are going to do something for you that deserves a tip in the near future. It's your call, but really all they do is drop off the food. Friendly folks though.
i went with the Porkasaurus and thought it was quite tasty. Ham, pepperjack, pulled pork and bacon on top. It was a good mix and a hearty portion of pork in this sandwich. i think i'm going to ask for pepperjack on my pulled porks from now on. It did come with one side and i went with the Brunswick Stew. I'm used to my stew being a little thicker, this was more like a soup. Not bad, just not what i expect out of Brunswick Stew. Wife got the side salad for her side and claimed it exceeded her expectations from a small restaurant where the side salad is normally just crappy lettuce. This salad had good lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and good croutons.
Expect to spend about $20 for two meals and two drinks. This can obviously vary drastically if you order a full slab of ribs or decided to leave a big tip.
