Went back tonight after speaking to the owner about our prior experiences, much better experience! Alex took it upon himself to coordinate and serve us directly which is pretty humble - a rare occurrence in this town!
Pulled pork - amazing. Exactly what you would want from the dish.
Ribs - very blackened. Not to my taste but my dining partner liked them.
Brisket - I didn't eat them while hot so by the time I got to them, they were rubbery. My dining partner liked them.
Mac and cheese - sooooo good. Must have!
Caramelized brussels sprouts - I hate Brussels sprouts so I didn't love these but I didn't hate them either. Good twist on a veg.
Sweet potato waffle fries - served up work chipotle mayo, delish and a huge portion for a side!
Cole slaw - apple cider vinaigrette with dill.
Butter dipped onion rings - ERMERGEEEERD
Maple bacon smoked bourbon drink thing - my partner ordered this. Came with a bacon and orange garnish.
Also, holy crap he loaded our drinks!
The owner is incredibly personable and friendly! He definitely made the experience.
ALSO - this was all the sampler plate. DO IT. So much food and it came out QUICK.
