I want to be a bigger fan of this place than I am, and I've tried on numerous occasions. And I find the communal seating to be hit-or-miss, usually a miss (despite the pros of some friendly conversation, it's too cramped for me).
As far as the food goes, I've tried most of the BBQ options and none of them really stand out, and neither does their homemade BBQ sauces in my opinion. Everything's OK and I always leave full, but never fully happy. I'm going to chalk it up to my lack of enthusiasm for smoked meat in general, so to each their own.
