| - I used to L-O-V-E this place. The food was great and the service was friendly. I recommended it to all of my friends who wanted some good bbq.
I have given this place, not one, not two, not three, but SIX chances. Each time I left swearing to never go there again...then I would crave their food (I ate it pretty much once a week for years since I live down the street) and I'd give them another try. ..and regret it. I think this place used to be a family-run business but they have since hired people who either don't know or don't care what they are doing.
First of all, the food is very hit-or-miss. Much more miss these days. The cornbread which used to be fluffy and moist now tastes and feels like cardboard. The sweet potatoes are never cooked all the way through. The brisket (which they have been out of the past 6 times I have been there- all at different times of the day - no joke) used to be delicious/smoky/have great texture but is now not only never available, but also cut thin and overall tastes/feels like something you would buy at a grocery store deli. They used to serve kool-aid, which i thought was kind of neat (tastes like childhood) but they have also mysteriously been out of kool-aid the past 6 times I have gone there. Really? Big kool-aid shortage in North America?
I have stopped by there twice during their posted business hours on the window and no one was there.
The last time I went there I arrived 30 minutes before they were about to close. I knew they wouldn't have brisket but I figured I could grab some chicken or pork. The lady, all huffy, opens the window and says "We're about to close". I say "Ok, well the sign says you are open for another 30 minutes." She says "Well I can give you food but it is going to be cold, we already turned everything off."
What the what?
I left and I will never be back. You couldn't pay me to go back to this place, and I literally drive by it every day.
