The hubs and I were in the area and decided to drop in here for dinner. It's billed as a BBQ joint but the decor was much nicer than a typical BBQ place. The restaurant was about half full when we were seated. I always peek at other people's food before I order in a new restaurant. Everything that came out of the kitchen was plated nicely and looked inviting.
We decided to split the Sampler Platter. It was $28 which we thought was a little pricey. We added a side to make sure we would have enough food. We laughed at ourselves when they brought it out. There was a whole table of food!!! More than worth $28. Way more.
I started with the boneless chicken breast. The BBQ sauce on it heavily hinted of coffee. It was a very different flavor but I really enjoyed it. The ribs were falling off the bone as I was putting them on my plate. Can you say moist?? The sauce was more of a traditional sauce and it was very good. We had a serving of shredded pork and shredded brisket. Brisket is usually served sliced but I much more preferred it shredded. The sauce for those two items was on the side. It seemed to have a smokies flavor. They gave us a basket of slider buns. The buns were fresh and made a great vehicle to eat the shredded meats. For sides we had coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. Since Mac n cheese is one of the recent crazes I was curios how it would stand up to others that I have tried. I'm from the South so I will use a southern expression that people use when something is over the top good-that Mac n cheese made me want to slap my momma. I would go back just for the Mack cheese. It was very cheesy. If I remember correctly it had 5 types of cheese. It was melty and gooey and held on to the corkscrew pasta perfectly. Nomnomnom.
Now the little bit of sadness. I would have loved to have given 5 stars. However we had poor service. We only saw our server when we ordered our food and when we got the check. Our drinks were never refilled and we asked the young man cleaning tables to get us To Go containers for our food. He was very kind and helpful. Had our server been more attentive I would have easily given 5 stars.
