| - My wife and I tried this place out tonight for the first time and I was literally blown away, something that does not happen very often at all.
Where to begin? We showed up around 5pm on a Saturday and were seated in less than five minutes, which was impressive. Everyone that greeted us seemed genuinely upbeat and friendly and this continued to be the case the entire time we were there.
Our server showed up and when we told her we were new customers, she took a few minutes to walk us through the menu and highlight some of the changes that weren't on there yet (coleslaw side, for example) as well as make some recommendations on what to try if we couldn't decide. We both really appreciated the help and it seemed very sincere, rather than just a canned spiel for new customers.
We skipped the appetizers and instead gorged ourselves on the ridiculously delicious rolls they provide from the get-go, the second you get seated. I have had the rolls at similar themed restaurants in the valley and these are 10x better than any of them, an assessment that my wife also agreed with.
For our meals, I went with the pulled pork platter with chili and coleslaw, while my wife got the BBQ chicken with veggies. The chili was excellent, just spicy enough and served at the perfect temperature. I loved it and would definitely get it again, hands down some of the best restaurant chili I've had. The pulled pork, that was deliciousness on an entirely different level. My mouth was watering when it showed up and I was hooked on the first bite. I have been to a lot of places that offered pulled pork, but never have I tasted any that was even half as good as this. I literally devoured the entire plate, save for the two bites I shared with my wife, who also loved it. I will definitely be ordering this in the future and can't wait to have it again, it was sinfully good. My wife's chicken was cooked perfectly and was very juicy and moist, and the BBQ sauce was spot on. My wife said she'd definitely order it again and had no complaints at all.
My only comment on the food, which is something I've noticed others mentioning, is that the steak fries are a bit heavy on the salt or the seasoning or both. It's hard to tell, but whatever it is, it's a little overpowering. I definitely wouldn't subtract a star for this, but I'm pointing it out in case people are picky about that sort of thing, because if so you might want to try a different side.
The service, I have to say, was spectacular the entire evening. I was asked if I wanted lemon in my ice tea and said no, as I prefer it without. I received no less than four replacement glasses of tea (I guess they don't refill but instead just bring a new one) and not once did I get a lemon. How awesome is that, considering the place was packed by the time we left? Our server was definitely on the ball. We also got a visit from a service manager who gave us a bag of free peanuts to take home and bring back for a free appetizer as a way of recognizing us as new customers and thanking us for our business, which I thought was a really nice gesture. It was also cool to see the manager and servers doing some clapping and dancing to the music at one point, my wife and I both got a kick out of that and it seemed like the servers were actually having fun with it rather than just going through the motions for the sake of it.
On the whole, I would say that this is definitely one of my new favorite places and I can't wait to go back and try the pulled pork again, along with giving some of the desserts a try. Between the awesome service and the top-notch food, I would recommend this place to anyone. If anyone deserves a full five stars, this is it!
