| - Mixed feelings.
If I were to eat this BBQ at a catered event where I wasn't paying and I wasn't at their location, I would give them 4 stars easy.
Meats were good. Potato salad (although I'm sure it wasn't from scratch), was tasty. Mac and cheese was pretty good also. The beans were awesome. Smoky and meaty and really, really good.
The problem for me is that I found the prices to be pretty steep for BBQ and I'm not picky about paying for good food. $9 for a three veggie plate (fries, beans and potato salad in my case) is high. The sandwiches were in the $7-$9 range and that included the sandwich (and not a large one), two small hush puppies and a condiment size cup of coleslaw. Literally two tablespoons of coleslaw. Once you add a drink and fries, you are way over $10. In some environments I wouldn't even mind this for BBQ, but this place is bare bones.
The main reason I would not go back here, despite the good food, is that the entire restaurant reeked of air freshener. I feel like they were trying to cover up some type of funky smell that inhabits the building because I could kind of smell that too. Maybe a musty smell, not sure. At any rate, I want to smell food, not fake cherry or psuedo spring meadow. The air freshener was just completely over whelming and my nose was running by the time we left. I feel confident this wasn't a one time thing, I'm guessing the freshener is on a timed release given how consistently strong it was during our visit. Yuck. Maybe I'll go get the beans to go.
