| - Ok, I have to admit that I was skeptical. My 12 yo told me that he'd been to this place with his dad and that he liked the barbecue. Not being a huge barbecue eater, I hesitated but gave in as it was on our way home. It's in a strip mall with not much else going on. But, walking in, I was surprised. It's small but with nice ambience. Lights, candles, and friendly staff greeted us. We were asked about our preference in seating and service was immediate.
Our waiter recommended a $24 bacon platter. Are you kidding me? But again, I caved and the platter on a wooden chopping block was served. It was absolutely beautiful. 5 different varieties of bacon, cornichon, mustard, grilled bread, onion and pepper jam. My kid was in heaven and pounded 80% of it. I had a taste of 4 of the varieties - smoked in house. The jalapeƱo bacon was my favorite with real kick. After two slices of bacon, I trimmed my order back to a kale salad. It is interesting with a lot of different texture and flavor. My son had a burger and half of it landed in a to-go box.
Throughout our evening our service was spectacular. The waiters were attentive, answered questions, made recommendations and validated us as customers. If I were a big meat eater, no doubt I'd give this place five stars. The dinner for the two of us was also over $50 with no drinks so difficult on a budget.
