| - Tried this out with a Groupon, but unfortunately we waited until the day before the voucher expired to use it and apparently so did everybody else. Because of the timing, they were out of many of the items we wanted to try (including the beef ribs and sweet potato mash). For the food that we ended up trying:
- Highway 61 Lager: delicious
- Gumbo: wasn't a traditional gumbo, it was more of a gumbo flavoured soup. Flavour was excellent though, price was a little steep (8 bucks for a bowl of soup?)
- Brisket: Very generous portion, tasty bbq sauce, the meat itself was a little bit dry
- Slaw: excellent
- Beans: decent although very sweet, not sure if made in-house or from a can (they tasted almost exactly like Bush's)
- Onion rings: pretty good, and somewhat unexpected. Unlike most homemade onion rings, these ones don't have the typical thin fish-n-chips type of batter. Instead,these have some sort of breading/batter hybrid that leaves the rings extremely crispy and similar in consistency to cheetos
Overall I wasn't blown away, but given that they were out of some of the key items I wanted to try I'll give them another shot when I'm back in the area.
