Ooooph. I really wanted to like this place but man was it disappointing. Came here on a Saturday night with my better half and we ordered one each of the brisket and pulled pork sandwich so we could try both. The pulled pork was quite good. Nice flavor and you didn't need sauce to make it work. The brisket was awful. I'm pretty sure my two year old slippers (without sauce) would be more flavorful than that.
The sides: We ordered one each of the collared greens and 'mac 'n cheese' The greens had zero seasoning it seemed. Collared greens are bitter and love salt. How you can't use any is baffling. The mac and cheese was, wait for it.....penne! Yes they used penne (saw it in the frying pan when I walked past the kitchen and thought "There is no way that is the mac and cheese" I was wrong. There was literally no cheese on it which as far as I know is an integral part of the dish. I asked the server if that was normal and he said no we usually use another kind. Well good thing they had the other kind in stock less than an hour after opening! The worst I've ever had by far and I told him as much. He apologized but didn't comp it or suggest something else.
Like I said I was looking forward to it since Jason Rees is involved but he needs to review the standards and get it up to par because there is no way the place is surviving putting out product like that especially with all the bbq competition out there. My friend swears by their ribs and maybe I will go back to try them but it's going to take awhile to get the taste(less) brisket off my palette.
