| - I recommend the BBQ here, as I didn't have any meat that wasn't tender. However, I prefer the sauce heated and mixed into my pulled BBQ, and found it a little bland on its own. They do offer several different kinds of sauces on the side, and this offers diversity, but heating the sauce with the meat really makes a flavor difference. The ribs were fantastic just the way they come!
I also really enjoyed their chili! They offer an option to serve the chili with cheese and other toppings, which is great with tortilla chips as an appetizer.
Unfortunately, the sides were not great. My brother in law is known for cooking a full pig every few months, and my large Southern family really brings it with the sides, so perhaps I am just partial :) I must say, after trying the greens, beans, fries, slaw, potato salad, and mac and cheese, I was a bit disappointed. The mac and cheese was dry; the greens were too salty and not vinegary at all, the slaw was not very sweet or creamy, and the fries were a little over cooked. The beans and potato salad were good. :)
This was not my favorite BBQ stop because of the sides, which is one of my favorite parts of a BBQ place, and the "unsauced" pulled meat. Also, they do not offer fried okra, which I feel is a necessary staple.
The beer selection is quite good, with several local options. Also, they have live music frequently and a good size patio. These elements combine into a great happy hour or evening location!
Overall, try it out for the meat, beer selections, and the ambiance. Though I grew up in NC, by no means am I a BBQ expert, and this is simply my humble opinion.
