| - Would definitely give it a 5 if I took the effort to write this up following my first visit.
After going there a few times, there's a few problems worth mentioning:
1. They don't hire enough staff at the bar. It takes forever (6-8 minutes) to get a beer on tap. If you do decide to get a drink, do it before you order your food.
2. Stuff just ran out all the time. There was once I was there by 8:30 (a bit late I know), and the only "meat" item that's left, is turkey and chicken. Not a fan of either, had them anyways. Still not a fan.
Note on point 2: I do think they should rather let stuff go out of stock, than serving dishes from the day before. The trick here is that...maybe just cook a tiny bit more than your expected sale. The main problem is location. Say if you have a place @ King & John, if you don't have brisket left, I might just eat somewhere next door. Cherry Street BBQ is, kinda in the middle of nowhere in terms of eatery. I go there, nothing is available, I get disappointed.
3. The last time I went there, they finally had brisket! And oh boy, it was DRY, for the first time. I'd like to believe it was an accident, rather than something worse. Honestly speaking, getting forced to eat chicken and turkey was...disappointing. Going all the way there to eat a piece of dry, well-done meat was no better.
I was tempted to give it a 3/5 as my last few visits had the problems listed above. However I do like the ambience and the food (when it's done right and available). I want it to live on, for a long time, while slowly getting even better (hopefully). There's the extra star, keep up the good work.
