| - I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, and for some reason, it worked out that I got to eat my Thanksgiving lunch here. They had a special holiday menu that looked really good, but my friend and I decided to try their traditional barbecue. I got the brisket, and my friend got the pulled pork. The place was PACKED, but the wait wasn't too long (luckily they had a text system so we could wander around the casino until the table was ready), and the hostess was super efficient and knew exactly where to seat everyone. The service in general was extremely good; our waitress was super polite and efficient. The ambiance was homey, the noise, though packed, wasn't loud, and it was safely cocooned in its own area of the casino, so you couldn't smell the cigarette smoke from the casino floor at all.
The food, though, was disappointing. Both my friend and I got very dry meat that didn't seem to have any flavor to it, and we both thought the garlic mash on the side was reminded us of instant potatoes instead of real ones (which doesn't make any sense, because I'm sure they made it fresh from scratch, but it just tasted like the crumbles you get from a bag - I don't know why). For the price, the food was abysmal. I'd heard good things from friends about the restaurant, so maybe it was just a one-off bad experience, but I wished I had chosen a better place for my holiday meal, and I don't forsee myself returning.
