The ambiance and decor is nice. You can see the smoker in the kitchen. All I really have to say is this place is amazing! We started off with two appetizers...the bacon wrapped shrimp, which how could you go wrong with shrimp wrapped in bacon and the deviled eggs (a flavor explosion in my mouth) so the experience started off great. I had the beef brisket and pork ribs, although it was lunch time the portion size was huge. Needless to say I had plenty left over. They allow you to pick the fat ratio of your brisket which is really good. You can taste the smoke flavor throughout your meat. The side I picked with my meal was creamed spinach, the flavor was great just needed salt (that's what the salt shaker is for, lol) but no points taken because of that. Because I'm greedy I also got the Mac and cheese which wasn't all that impressive but I'm sure the upgraded varieties are a better buy. My date opted for the smokin burger which he raved about and was also unable to finish. Soooo, to sum it up this place is a great place to go to enjoy great barbecue without going to a hole in the wall, lol. Great environment, service and huge portions. Annnnnnd the KC royal sauce!!! Sheeeesh!
