| - When it comes down to the speed of table service, this place has got to be number 1. Our waitress wasn't joking when she said that the food comes out really quick. It only took about 5 minutes after we placed our orders for the food to come out.
The food was a little pricey but I generally believe you get what you paid for! I ordered the Pork Belly, my brother the Pork Short Ribs, his girlfriend got the turket, and my boyfriend got the Brisket. Mine was I think $16 and his was about $15. I got 3 slices with the usual entree sides -- radishes? pickles, and a slice of white bread. To top it all off, we each got a side each, the beans, cole slaw, potatoes, and then spaetzle.
My food was probably the worst thing I ordered on the menu. I expected the pork belly flavor to be developed but instead it was 70% grease (at least fat would have lended more flavor) and 30% meat. Yes, I do know that pork belly does have those proportions but it was so greasy that no flavors came through at all. My brother offered his pork short ribs as a consolation and now THAT was some tasty barbecue. He got 6 ribs and I got 3 slices of my portion so I was already a little disappointed about that. The spaetzle and fried potatoes were so tasty it seemed like the sides stole the show from the entrees. To top it all off, the pickles on the side of my entree plate were probably the best I've ever had in my life! They were very potent in taste but man did they have such a complex flavor. I wish I could buy a jar of those!!
In the end, the portions for the food looked small but with a side, it came to be almost ideal -- not too much, not too little.
Oh! And no cornbread. I dunno. It seems small but there's none here. We asked why. Their response -- it's Cleveland style BBQ.
