| - Went to Stack last night for the first time. We shared the platter. It was decent. It was a good amount of food for the price and the fries were excellent, as was the mac and cheese. Unfortunately those sides were the best of the platter.
As for the rest, everything had too much sauce. I don't like when everything is drowning in sauce because you can't taste the actual bbq. The sauce was fairly tasty, mind you, but it was too much. I dug to find some of everything that was unsauced. The brisket was great texture. It was cooked perfectly which is tough to do. It lacked seasoning and any sort of bark which is my favourite part. The pulled pork was again lacking some seasoning and bark and was a little dry. The ribs had nice bark, but fell apart completely when trying to eat them. To me, that means over cooked. The chicken was a little dry and again lacked seasoning. The corned beef was very good.
Having said all that, it wasn't bad. It just wasn't great. As I stated, it was decent. It was late in the night, so I'll attribute the dryness and lack of bark on the fact that the food had probably been made earlier in the evening and held in a warmer.
The service was amazing as our server was very attentive and funny. I will go back to try it again, earlier in the evening, or during a busier time to see if the "freshness factor" is what affected the food as I suspect.
The s'mores donut dessert was killer, btw.
