| - When the hush puppies are pretty much the best thing about the meal, that's not a sign of a good 'cue joint. The beef was served shredded, and had very little smoke OR rub flavor. It was also almost as dry as jerky. The ribs had good flavor, but were rubbery and the meat had to be wrestled off the bone.
My date had the pulled pork, and I couldn't detect any smoke flavor whatsoever. They really push the sauce, and while it is pretty good, the meat needs to do its part to make the 'cue experience a good one.
From a service standpoint: It was originally OK, but then our server began doing her sidework (filling salt shakers, etc.) and we may as well not have existed. We left our table to smoke outside, leaving my date's glasses and my phone and telling our server where we were going, and came back to find our table cleaned, our personal items in lost and found and my leftover beef (which I was going to add to a meat loaf to give it some moisture) thrown away. They did replace the beef, but come ON!
(OH, and hush puppies ARE great. Seriously.)
