  • Had high hopes for this place.. But after visiting, don't feel it deserves the 4.5 star rating. This place DOES NOT have air conditioning!!!!!! Came here for a birthday party.. All of us agreed that the food was so-so and probably would never revisit - hence the 2 star rating.. Most of us shared the platter combo.. $39 for a salad, a sandwich, 4 ribs, and 4 wings and a skillet of fries. Reading the reviews, many people rave about their ribs.. Most of us at the table felt the ribs were below standard. First of all, they weren't tender.. Not even a bit, in fact they were about 40 minutes to an hour under cooked... The meat did not fall off the bone.. In fact you couldn't eat all the meat of the bone because it was under cooked.. (Hence the expression "fall off the bone ribs" did not apply). Being a cook myself, I know the rule of thumb when cooking fall of the bone ribs is to check the tenderness of the meat 1 or 2 times throughout the cooking process.. That way you don't screw it up... Secondly, their ribs are served individually, as opposed to a rack.. Given they have chosen to cook it that way, it's a lot harder to manage the tenderness.. Each individual rib was dry Being a butcher shop first and bar second, I would expect the quality of meat to be much higher.. Meat wasn't juicy and flavourful.. Don't think the meat was properly washed prior to cooking.. Although the meat was cooked well done, you could taste that native "raw" taste of uncooked pork.. Also, they use side ribs as opposed to back ribs.. Cheaper quality meat (half the price at the supermarket).. Expect more from a butcher shop.. The wings are deep fried.. So those did fall off the bone and was juicy.. They suggested the dry rub... The Cajun flavour didn't work out for me tho.. A little bit too much on the saltiness.. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was ok.. Again under-cooked.. Had chunks of chewy pork inside.. I think they left chunks I'm it on purpose to make it unique. I ended up using a fork to help eat the pulled pork sandwich lol.. Sadly, the fries was the most above average part of the dinner.. Let's be real, who goes to a butcher shop or meat shop restaurant to eat fries.. $39 for 4 ribs, 4 wings, 1 hamburger size sandwich, and fries to fill you up.. Plus tax and 18% tip.. $52 One of us had the AYCE ribs for $19 and ate 12 ribs for the night.. Because it was super hot and muggy.. No AC.. Never seen my buddy eat so little before.. This being a bar.. With a full whiskey, scotch, and gin menu.. Last call was before 9:30.. I guess we should have checked their hours of operation.. Place wasn't well staffed.. Had a small kitchen staff.. I guess that's why the prep work for ribs and pulled pork was so off.. Had 1 manager, 1 waitress, and 1 bus boy... For a restaurant/bar establishment that could house 30+ guests...
