Expensive. Mediocre Food. Inconvenient Location. Chaotic Ambiance.
Dish To Try
Brisket Sandwhich
Details
- Brisket sandwhich was quite good, i'd give it a 3.5 stars.
- Fried chicken was 3 stars, but is not tastier than Popeyes,
- Ribs is 2 stars - it was cold and dry, in fact i actually made the effort to go back and return them for refund despite ordering takeout (we went to the McD's across the street where we could sit). The fries that came with Fried Chicken was cold and soggy (1 star) - we did not eat the fries, i brought them back with the ribs but did not care for refund, it was feedback for the kitchen.
The response to dry ribs was, it was made "Louisiana-style - which gives it more pull". They wouldn't call or admit it was dry, I was OK with "more pull" but would not accept that the result was clearly dry.
They did try to offer a store credit instead of refund, but eventually returned cash after clearing it with manager.
Factoring location, ambiance, and price - I give them 2 stars.
Other Notables
I live downtown and decided to venture here with a pal. Getting here early evening is terrible due to traffic. But this wouldn't matter if the food lived up to hype.
We parked at the McD's across the street. Walked into Stockyards and was hit with chaos. People standing around everywhere, it's hard to discern where a line starts. In fairness, it's a small place, and it was cold outside, so everyone was jammed in there like a night club.
We met a couple at McD's that lived in area, they commented that they like the fried chick, but ribs were hit and miss.
