| - After driving by this place for many months, I finally took the time to stop in and check the place out. Now, I love some BBQ and was looking forward to the brisket with the mac n cheese with okra, but several things need to be mentioned if you choose to eat here.
For starters, they have a yelp check in offer.....but here's the catch, if you show it up the server, you may chalk up the savings to the mediocre service and food at best. It is if it is your discount for the shoddy service or less than desirable meal. I could only factor this offer as a consolation prize for the opportunity to be disappointed.
So, here's the experience.......My wife and I sat at a high top near the bar area as there were only a few tables available. Unfortunately, we were unaware that the table was located by the door of an outdoor covered dining area used primarily for smokers. Since it was at night, the door which was frequently used by two smokers just added to the frustration. I understand that this is also a bar, but please, eat, smoke, drink, or whatever, but STOP taking a few puffs, and walking in and out! Geez, it was like a doorway to hell, but cold!
Cold, that's the word that summed up my whole dining experience. The beef brisket which was suppose to come with 2 pieces of bread (toast) did not, the meat was cold as if it had just been removed from the cooler. The sauce was ok, but again, was not hot, so cold sauce on cold meat beside a cold entrance pretty much leads me up to the following. Cold Mac-N-Cheese. Have you ever experienced cold mac and cheese? Not like the cold mac n cheese at Christmas when you have a huge gathering of people and it gets room temperature after sitting out for a while, I am talking almost ice cold where the texture and temperature, is refrigerator cold. So cold in fact that the texture is almost crunchy cold. I did not realize that cold Mac-N-Cheese was able to have that type of texture and appearance, so I did have a new experience here.
On the good note, the fried okra was very good. It was hot, so I am sure that the staff is aware of the ability to make heat, and make items shall we say, not COLD!
So, to sum it up, if you use the yelp offer, beware! If you like cold meat and cold sides, you will enjoy this place. If you are a smoker, well, let's just say that you will have your own covered smoking patio right near the bar area.
So would I recommend this to any fellow Yelpers...? I don't think so.
