Huge patio area and outdoor bar, will be a big hit once they get some tables out there I'm sure. Only complaint about the facility was the music, which was a bit on the loud side and modern country, which not everybody likes. Might be better to pick something with less volume and more neutral like blues. We had smoked chicken wings and deviled eggs for appetizers, both were very, very good. Entrees also good. My wife had the smoked chicken salad which was amazing, I recommend. I had the BBQ - brisket had good flavor, but was pretty dry. Ribs were great as was the pulled pork. Good smoke penetration on the meats. I'm on the fence about the BBQ sauce, wasn't bad, but nothing to write home about, somehow was hoping for more from it. Amazing bourbon selection. Deserts looked great as well, but didn't leave any room to get to them this time
Overall I would recommend this place. There are probably a few hiccups (dry brisket and other things mentioned in different reviews) being newly opened, but look forward to trying out other items on the menu, which was pretty impressive overall, and I will definately be back, and likely more than once.
We weren't there for sports, but if you're looking for a place to watch a game, look no further, this is probably the best sports bar in a few miles radius at least
