| - This place is okay for what it is - a slightly-better-than-fast-food counter service joint. The food is good and plentiful but if you're looking for authentic barbecue food, keep looking. Pretty standard fare for a bbq place: pulled pork, ribs, brisket, chicken, etc. I had the pulled pork and smoked chicken. The pork was good but the chicken had a very strange flavor. I didn't care for the variety of herbs/spices they use while smoking and it also just didn't look appetizing. I've had a ton of smoked meats and they have all that distinct smoked look and taste. This tasted like poached then baked chicken. My husband had their ribs and found them to be very fatty although they were very tender and flavorful.
As far as sides go, I recommend the green beans and fries. The fries are fresh cut, crunchy, and delicious! We also sampled the garlic mashed potatoes - good, macaroni and cheese - eh, and though we didn't have them, the baked beans looked fantastic. The cornbread was ok but what made the whole trip worthwhile was the honey butter they serve with every meal. Holy cow, was it good! I would've eaten that stuff by itself!
As for price, it seemed high for a counter service restaurant. We spent the same amount we would have spent at Famous Dave's, the food was comparable to FD's as well, and we would have had a sit down experience with waiter service.
