| - We were immediately taken aback by the cold, uncaring greeting by the hostess(es) and waitresses when we walked in. We'd never been here before and wanted to have a great first experience where we weren't sat in a corner, facing a wall in a side room. We asked if we could have a booth or a table out near the middle where we could see the TV's and be part of the experience. We got a serious eye-roll and some Additional bad attitude. Honestly, wanted to walk out at that point. But, we were on date night and wanted to make the best of it. I'm glad we did, read on....
Service: Our waiter was great. He was honest and friendly and knowledgable about the menu and restaurant. He was attentive and took great care of us. If it weren't for the exceptionally poor "face of the business" (hostess), the service would have been rated higher. I'd give it 3 out of 5.
Food: it was excellent. The shrimp, potatoes and corn on the Cobb served in the bag was fantastic!! The sauce (trifecta) was awesome on all of it! The bbq brisket was outstanding!! We were very surprised at the quality and quantity of the bbq at a restaurant that doesn't exclusively serve bbq, really excellent! 4.5 out of 5.
Price: we were surprised that with beer, bbq, seafood and a couple sides we were still only around $50. 3.5 out of 5
Atmosphere: It's a weird location at the end of a relatively hidden strip mall the building and the entry around the side/back. This makes it kind of cool because it's a "local hidden gem". It's fun inside with the wait staff yelling out at times, a bell rung at times, TV's and lots of people enjoying great food in a fun way. 4 out of 5
I can't think of another place with better seafood and served in such a fun, hands on way,...including bibs, butcher paper covering the tables, galvanized trash buckets, no plates or silverware, and gloves if you want them,....really, really fun! Excellent seafood! And, great bbq.
I'd go again, often if I could. Looking forward to taking the kids. I highly recommend trying this place. Maybe it'll become a favorite for you too.
