| - Let's start with the excellent stuff. The sauces are super tasty. I love the spicy-savory sauce, particularly. I was looking for random things I could pour their sauces on. One thing I poured it on was their hushpuppies - sausage-shaped bits of fried cornbread that were moist and flavorful.
That was the problem, though - they had an overwhelmingly oniony overtone, and though I loved the cornbread itself, that flavor would hit you, then you'd enjoy the moist cornbread, and then the onion aftertaste would hit your tongue like an angry, bitter truck. If you happen to love onion, I think you'll love the hushpuppies, but not I.
The Mac and cheese was flavorless to me - it tasted like a starter sauce that hadn't had the cheese added into it. I was expecting better, it looks beautiful, but it didn't speak to me.
The pulled pork was cooked very well, moist and all... but if it saw "14 hours" of smoking, I will eat my nonexistent hat. A 12-year-old behind the schoolhouse has seen more smoke than that pork. And the same goes for my wife's brisket. Wasn't bad, it was just... forgettable.
They DO have cheerwine, the cherry-flavored pop from the south that is super tasty, and if you like it you can buy it by the case.
I think they rely on their sauces to save them, and as such, my pulled pork sandwich was fine.
But fine doesn't make me crave it. If I want mediocre, I'll order a pizza.
