Went to Elwood's a couple weeks ago in search of Carolina BBQ. I had heard some great reviews about this place from coworkers, so I figured I would give it a try.
When we first got there, the restaurant was rather empty - yet, we were sat right in front of the door, which I thought was a little awkward. Not only that, but they continued to seat people in the tables right next to us. You would think that they would spread people out so that they are not right on top of another.
Anyway - on to the food... I got a pulled pork sandwich, fries, and hushpuppies. I'm used to Eastern style BBQ. This was far from it. Dry, tasteless, and even the vinegar based sauce they had couldn't save it. Not impressed. Hushpuppies were way too fried and just heavy. I felt like I needed 4 gulps of water per bite.
Not sure if the recommendations I heard were from people who don't like the eastern style BBQ, but I think I'll pass on this restaurant from now on.
