| - My husband and I are Bourbon enthusiasts, and we have wanted to check out this place for a long time. We were in the area on Saturday and finally took the opportunity to check this one off our list. We started our order with a Jefferson flight that included Jefferson Small Batch, Jefferson Reserve, and Jefferson Ocean. It was $17. I've been curious about Jefferson Ocean, but never wanted to fork over $100 for a whole bottle without tasting it first. IMHO, bourbon doesn't have to cost a small fortune to be great. I'm glad I waited because I preferred the taste of the Small Batch best. We also ordered a Jack & Coke, which were on special for $4. It was a perfectly balanced cocktail. The coke was sweet, and the Jack wasn't watered down or too strong. (You would think it would be simple enough to never get wrong, but many bars do.). In case you aren't a whiskey fan, they also had double Mimosas and Bloody Mary's on special for $5.
I ordered the BBQ pork plate. The meat was moist and seasoned well. It does have some heat to it, but not so much that it overpowered the taste of the pork. I didn't try the slaw, but it was well presented and looked good. I substituted Mac-n-cheese for fries, and they came out hot and crispy. My hubby ordered the fish and chips, and he was also very happy with his food. He said the fish was moist and well seasoned.
What really impressed us about this place was the exception customer service we received. Our server patiently answered our questions and checked back frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. It was a very pleasant experience and we will definitely go back for the Saturday specials!
