| - We had a great dinner here!
I wasn't sure what to expect when we tried this place, the reviews are mixed but I notice that the most recent ones are promising so we thought we'd give it a try since it's so close to home and I was in the mood for BBQ.
Having been our first time we here opted for the platter for two which comes with 6 ounces each of pulled pork and brisket, a pound of wings, half a rack of ribs and 2 sides. I also used the yelp check in to get one more side. We went with the macaroni and cheese, cornbread and coleslaw. This meal is $45+ tax and is definitely good for sharing. The portion could have easily fed 3 people, we have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow.
Our favorites were the wings and pulled pork. The sauces and flavours are delicious. We found the ribs to be nice and lean with not much fat, we thought they were almost too lean and were hoping for a juicier bite to them however they were still good. We didn't find them to be fall off the bone as a lot of people noted but it could have just been our rack of ribs. The brisket was shredded like the pulled pork, I almost would have preferred slices of brisket as a texture difference from the pulled pork. The wings are really big and flavourful, probably our favourite part of the meal.
The sides were really good, everyone seems to be raving about the mac and cheese and they are right to do so, it's cheesy and delicious. The corn bread is also really good, sweet and not too dry or crumbly. The coleslaw was ok but didn't match up to the mac and cheese or cornbread, but we wanted to have a vegetable and it added a nice crunch to the meal. The sauces are delicious, we especially loved the barbecue sauce and the mustard sauce.
The restaurant has a really nice interior, definitely has a BBQ southern country feel to it. We took our food out but next time would like to dine in to enjoy the atmosphere. The location is in a very industrial area which doesn't seem ideal but there is lots of parking and it was fairly busy at around 5pm so it doesn't seem to affect business so much.
It seems that there are lots of regulars already even though the restaurant is fairly new. The service was good although the girl taking our order was noticeably uninterested/bored and seemed annoyed at us for asking some questions. While we waited, another lady came by to let us know our food was almost ready and thanked us for waiting, she was super nice and the owner or manager was walking around asking customers if they were enjoying their meals and he seemed friendly as well.
We did do a takeout order this time which was eaten a couple of hours after ordering so it had to be reheated, which may have affected the taste of the food, although it was still super delicious. I look forward to my next visit and will try dining in next time!
