| - A lot of potential, everything here is made from scratch, and the owner is receptive to criticism.
We had pulled pork, bbq chicken, fries and corn bread. For dessert, we had bread pudding and apple pie.
The ambiance is great, they've really put a lot of effort into the feel of the place. It used to be a new day cafe and it's completely different.
The pulled pork came on a plate of fresh slaw, which I'm not a huge fan of slaw but it didn't bug me like it normally would. The pork was smoky and moist, tender.
The chicken was a little charred, some people like that, my wife doesn't at all, and I just think it's ok. The chicken was very moist, very tender, obviously had a good marinade, but I thought it was a bit overly salty which I suggested could be helped by a little wash after the marinade.
The cornbread muffins were good, not too dry and had real corn in them. Personally I'd have liked to see a little dollop of apple butter or honey butter.
The bread budding was fresh. Literally just out of the oven, with little crisp parts and a good custard-like texture. Fresh cinnamon really stood out. Unfortunately, with no fruit and no bourbon vanilla sauce, it just couldn't stand on its own, it needs "something"
The apple pie however was amazing, tasted just like my wife's apple pie, tender flakey crust, soft but still individual apple slices. Delicious!
The fact that everything is homemade means they can adjust and change, I look forward to seeing what turns up my next visit
