| - The atmosphere and excellent waitstaff are a total winner here. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We sat on the patio and the heaters kept us perfectly comfortable. Now, if only the food was on par with the setting and staff. Unfortunately, everything was just "ok". *We did not try the brisket and apparently that is their specialty, so that's awesome. The baby back ribs have a cooked-on bbq sauce that is both two sweet and too salty. It's overpowering. At some point I realized I couldn't taste the meat at all. Likewise, the beans were too sweet (and is that whiskey in there?), the mac n' cheese is too sharp, the salad was boring. Personally, I feel like let meat be meat, beans be beans, and add sugar/spice to compliment, not overpower. All that said, I'm really rooting for this place because the atmosphere and the attitude of the staff is WAY beyond the norm. I would go back just to have drinks with friends, maybe to watch a game (the tv's are perfectly placed.. not obnoxious, but easy to watch if you want to). The place just has a really nice, friendly vibe. Would be a great place for a holiday-time dinner.
