2 stars.
The first is for atmosphere. This place nails it. Exhibit A - the bathroom doors.
The second star is for libations. My Corpus Christy (like a spicy bloody mary, but with moonshine) was awesome.
The stars that it lacked: service, price, food.
Service: My food was late, and a bit cold. It did not come out the other food served. Also, when I finished my drink, was never asked if I'd like another.
Price - check out the menu. It's very pricey for what you get. My drink was $8. My grilled cheese was $12.
Food. My grilled cheese sandwich didn't pack much flavor, especially when it's $12. They did make a pretty good jalapeno hush puppy though. Although I hear they make a great chicken and waffles, though. As far as being a 'modern' restaurant, they don't feature many vegan/veggie options, but what can you expect from a southern barbecue restaurant.
Is it worth another shot? Only if I get dragged there with friends.
