I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and wonder if I went on an "off night."
My smoked bbq pork shoulder was a serenade of heavy handed sugar and salt, I almost struggled to finish it. There was absolutely no nuance to the bbq sauce, no acidity to balance the maple nor spice to be discerned. The grits suffered from too much cheese, even in Wisconsin that is hard to accomplish. The highlight of my dish were the collard greens which were well seasoned, flavorful and left with enough texture for a pleasing bite.
Other diners in our party had issues as well: there were plenty of bones left in the white fish, a lack of preparation unbecoming of the level of place Hamilton sets itself up for in price. All of this coupled with the somewhat cold service, I have to disagree with most other Yelper's and say go to other places on the Square.
