| - I tried this place during restaurant week. First, let me say, their restaurant week menu is completely worth it. The 3 meat platter is regularly $22 alone so if you and your date (or just you, no judging) order that for both entrees, the appetizer and dessert are free!! I tried the burnt ends (sauce on the side), jambalaya, 3 meat platter (chicken, pulled pork, and brisket), and the apple waffle. The burnt ends were tasty, slightly dry but overall had a good flavor- the sauce was extremely sweet and smokey. We ended up mixing it with their sriracha sauce to make it appealing. The jambalaya had a good kick to it but the sweet barbecue sauce was a put off for me. As for the 3 meat platter, this thing was huge! The brisket was great! Very tender with good flavor. The pulled pork was also tender but a bit bland. The chicken is a 1/4 bone in chicken- amazing crispy skin!!! I would eat a plateful of just the skin. However, the meat itself was a little dry. For sides, we tried the baked beans and the mashed potatoes. The beans are smokey and spicy in a thicker sauce and the mashed potatoes are creamy with a good amount of garlic and butter flavor to them.
Now, for the apple waffle..... by this point I had already eaten way more than I should have but we still needed boxes for our leftovers. I was dreading dessert because I thought I was going to burst. Our server swore that people always finish the waffle and he was right. I put myself into a food coma eating it and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I didn't even get a picture of it because as soon as we laud eyes on it we immediately devoured it! The waffle is almost churro like in texture- crispy on the outside and soft/chewy on the inside. The apples are sweet with a great caramel and cinnamon flavor. Definitely a great end to the meal. Service was great and the place was bright and clean. I definitely recommend to try it as part of restaurant week!
