| - Nothing does pregnancy hunger well like happy hour appetizers at a barbeque joint.
We started with an order of nachos sans jalapenos. We also got everything but the cheese and shredded chicken on the side [thanks, picky friend] but it honestly gave me an opportunity to taste the toppings one by one. The guacamole, they nailed it. The 'cowboy caviar' [black beans and a mild salsa mix] was different, but refreshing. The nachos also were huge, as a proper appetizer [not something to fill you up, but satiated] can feed 3.
Next we ordered the rib bones [4 ribs in a bowl]. Not my thing, I like big meaty ribs and I knew these were just a scrawny taster, but I wasn't a fan of the marinade either. Pretty fatty, I ended up with half the meat sitting on my plate because I don't like really fatty meat in general. But that's ribs, you know?
We also had a half order of steak fries. They are served up deep fried with a sweet and spicy jam on the side. I loved these. Real greasy, real freaking good. The steak was way tender.
The unanimous favorite were the sliders. We got 3, all pork. Pour a little of the barbeque sauce sitting on the table on those bad boys and you'll surely be in heaven. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, juicy shredded pork between a toasted buttered bun. I could eat three more orders easily.
I tried the peach cobbler [which was actually a crisp], fantastic. Juicy peaches and cinnamon under a crumbly sweet topping. YES! Hit the spot.
Service was nice, and I think that goes for the whole place. We had servers from different tables stopping by to clear our empty plates often and if there was a lag in beverage refills, there was a swift apology made with the refill in hand. I saw the table next to us didn't get their nachos right, and their server was super sweet and nice about it and corrected the problem quickly. I was satisfied.
Based on my iced tea and appetizers, fantastic. I'll try a real meal there sometime before I leave, and then we can maybe talk about 5 stars.
