Updated review
Finally went back and was so expecting the same wonderful food. We were sadly disappointed. We visited at around 11:30am on a Sunday, shortly after opening.
1. Waitress came to take our order. I guess she thought we were not ready and walked away mid-conversation without saying she would be right back. My boyfriend was talking to her with his head int he menu. When he looked up, she was gone.
2. Food was subpar.
Coleslaw had no flavor (and I remember this being delicious the last time.) All I could taste were the pecans. It was nice and crunchy, not doused in dressing, but absolutely flavorless.
Ribs were not falling off the bone like normal and had a weird flavor. At first we thought it was the smoke, but soon realized it tasted like burnt plastic. Maybe from the oven?
Pulled pork was ok, nothing special. Cornbread was probably the best part of the meal. Kind of sad to go out and eat Sunday lunch for $40 + tip and be highly disappointed. Probably wouldn't go back, not worth the money for less than mediocre food.

Delish! Our family dined here on a Friday night. We had driven by on the freeway and wanted to check it out. The building and the decor are really fantastic. Loved all the little details for industrial touches in the restaurant. There was a bit of a wait. My husband and I grabbed a beer and sat at the front entrance, which apparently we walked in through the take-out entrance. Someone escorted us to the front and got us a beeper.
We watched the machine make fresh donuts, which you get with your bill as a dessert on the way out. They were fresh, hot, and delicious. But, I'm getting ahead of myself....
Dinner was superb. Truly good BBQ. We've been going to Joe's for years and wanted to try something new. I had a pulled pork sandwich, my husband ordered a meat plate (pulled pork and brisket), and my son order kids ribs.
The flavor was good and we were impressed. Kids ribs were a little on the fatty side, so my son made me pick the meat off and separate the fat.
We would definitely go back. It's not as casual as Joe's, where you eat at picnic tables. Definitely for a nice night out, and you will be spending $$$ more for the nice night out. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed being out there as the weather was beautiful. Some of the seating is close to other diners. It didn't bother us, but I wouldn't want to be on a date and dining right next to strangers. With kids. Waitress was awesome too. Was able to answer all of our questions and gave wonderful service, especially on a busy night. I think she even mentioned she was working a long, 12 hour shift.
Great BBQ
Beautiful restaurant
Delish donuts
Expect to pay a little more for a meal out
