| - Went into the barbecue restaurant on the first floor for dinner. Had the platter that included smoked chicken, brisket (ordered it sliced), ribs, hot links and three sides. The portions were large as was the price: $35.00, but I wanted to sample what they had to offer since barbecue is one of my favorites. The chicken was OK, but lacked a lot of smoked flavor. The brisket was juicy and cooked perfectly but had virtually no smoked flavor at all. The hot likes were just OK. Probably the best meats were the ribs, although they were far from the best I have had. The sides, collard greens, cold slaw, and potato salad were about average. All in all, the barbecue was OK, but pricey. And $5.00 for a fountain soda?
After dinner we went upstairs to the tavern were Rick was tending bar with Antoine from Pawn Stars as the MC. They also had a DJ in the tavern. Interestingly enough, the drink prices were better than the food prices. A nice feature of the tavern was that you could order off the menu of the barbecue restaurant. The tavern had a nice beer selection, and Rick and Antoine certainly put on a show at the tavern. As it turns out, Antoine can be quite the comedian. Who knew?
