| - My first and last visit for dinner. Service was marginal, but from my view of the restaurant it wasn't on our server. Everyone seemed to be waiting, which I think is how they want it, so you drink more. Most of the patrons were there for the bourbon, the bar and power drinking
In fairness my wife's dinner was great. The brisket was tender and delicious, the mac and cheese was as expected and the sweet potato fries were good. Mine meal on the other hand was a nightmare.
I order buttermilk fried chicken with cheesy succotash as listed on the menu. I was expecting a fried chicken, (a breast, leg /thigh, wing or some other combination with bones and skin) and succotash (usually Lima beans, diced peppers and corn) in a cheese sauce. What I got was two pounded out chicken thigh strips with burnt breading and a cup of summer squash in a cheese sauce. I detest summer squash, and moved the squash off the plate as soon as it arrived. The waitress who was standing there said nothing. The chicken strips were dry, the breading was dry tasteless and burnt. It would have been nice to have a dipping sauce for the strips, but to have a dipping sauce would require them to actually describing the item correctly on the menu as chicken strips not buttermilk fired chicken (which implies bones and skin and a flavorful breading).
When the waitress came back to pick up the plates, mine was full of burnt breading and an untouched bowl of cheesy crap. No comments or questions.
While I saw a few families there, the place is geared for drinkers. I suppose if I had a few belts that may have made my dinner enjoyable. There are places that are closer with more descriptive menus with an atmosphere more geared for dinning rather than drinking.
