| - First the good.
-The service was quick and friendly enough.
-The menu is simple and has a fair variety of choices.
-The brisket had a good flavor to it, despite its shortcomings (more on that in the bad)
-The ribs were well cooked.
-Good snap to the hot link.
-A lot of food for the money.
Now, the bad.
-The pulled pork was DROWNED in sauce. I mean, an unbelievable amount of sauce. Great BBQ should let you taste the meat...even sauce based BBQs don't put that much sauce. Also, the sauce was not that good.
-The hot link was also drowned in sauce. See above.
-I did not care for the ribs. I found their flavor to be lacking. They were, as I said, well cooked, but the flavor was mediocre.
-The brisket is sitting in a steaming vat of au jus, which overcooks it. When they served it to me, it was solid gray, and super hot from the sitting the juice. The taste of the meat was better than expected, but the meat itself was way overcooked.
-The sandwiches are served with the super hot meats straight from their steam trays, and then packed into a Styrofoam container, which turns it into a bread based sauna. By the time I walked out to the benches to eat it, the bread was a soggy mush.
-The peach cobbler was WAY too heavy on the nutmeg. I shared some with my two friends without saying anything and both said "too much nutmeg."
-Canned soda. Seriously? How about a soda fountain. On the PLUS side, the cans were only $1 which is not too bad for a can in a restaurant. However, I still hate getting a can in a restaurant.
Overall, the food was decent to mediocre. Prices were very good, but I would rather pay more for food that makes me want to overindulge to finish every last bite, not throw away half of what is left because I don't feel like it would be worth the calories.
