Good...but, not great.
The Service is prompt, friendly but beyond that it's a bit disappointing. I lived in the Mid-West (Kansas City) and travelled extensively in the South. Simply put: this is no where near the sublime artery bursting BBQ I've had in those Locales. It's more like a cookbook/recipe interpretation on what would quantify as Southern BBQ. As with all takes on locale-specific cuisine, there's an interpretation aspect to it. Unfortunately, something has been lost in the translation with Lou Dawg's.
...As a few other reviewers have stated: I *want* to like this place, but probably won't try it again.
