| - Probably 3 1/2 stars... We had the habanero wings as an appetizer. Nice heat to them, but what we couldn't get over was the moistness of the meat! They must be brining their wings, but whatever they're doing, they should continue!
We ordered prudently, sticking with 1/4 lb. portions, but next time it will gave to be upped to 1/2! We tried the ribs (fell off the bone--I saw other reviews here stating otherwise, but on this visit, the ribs were perfect). Also tried the pork and the brisket, which were both pretty awesome. The greens were nice and vinegary. I want to go back and try some more of their sides.
On the downside: dessert. Neither of us are big on desserts, but we thought we'd give it a try here. Funnel cake topped with local peach slices was good, but on the small side. Whoopie pie was...meh. Didn't like that cream filling at all! A little grainy, a little too sweet.
Also: we ate upstairs. Nice room, nice big windows, but little to no air conditioning on a very hot evening! We were both schvitzing, even before having the habanero wings! And yes, numerous house flies, which were distracting and of course, kind of gross.
Our server was a sweetie, nice, knowledgeable and attentive. Food did seem to take a little longer than if should have to arrive, but my impression in observing the room was that it was a kitchen thing, not a server thing.
All that said, we will definitely go back for more :-)
