Tonight was my second time here.
First visit
Service: Nice staff. Very attentive and accommodating.
Food: I ordered the chicken wings. I'm not a fan of breaded chicken wings. I was expecting "buffalo wings" when I ordered the Hot Wings, however, the sauce is very different. I did not like the sauce. They brought out a good "ranch" style dressing that was good and I ate most of the wings. Final assessment: I won't order them again. The complimentary cornbread is BOMB!
Second visit was today. There was some sort of party going on so it was very busy. The staff was still great in spite of how busy they were. I ordered beef ribs, fried Mac and cheese, and organic veggies as takeout. The ribs were tender, however, the rub they use is average. They have 3 different barbecue sauces: mustard sauce, spicy sauce, and House bbq sauce. My wife and I tried them all and decided to use the KC Masterpiece we have in fridge. The fried Mac and cheese is pretty damn good; my wife loved it. The organic veggies was interesting. It's basically an assortment of raw veggies with some dips on side for $12. I thought that was little steep for throwing raw veggies in a box.
I'm a barbecue connoisseur. Starlite appears to be a barbecue venture for a chef as opposed to a pitmaster. The issue is that you don't get great barbecue. You get a chef-inspired barbecue experience. Which can and I'm sure will work great in this location. With that being said, the meat is cooked perfectly and the staff is great. I couldn't really taste any smoke in the ribs. I will try the brisket next and request all meat naked in the future.
