| - We were looking for a quick place to grab some ribs for my pregnant friend when we came across this place. Honestly, we chose them over others for their fried pickles but were pleasantly surprise by their huge menu.
We started with their fried pickles - which were amazing. They were crispy, lightly battered, pickle chips that came with chipotle ranch dressing. It was a very large basket that was more than enough for the 3 of us.
I asked the gentleman at the register if he preferred the pulled pork or the brisket, he recommended brisket - which was great! It came plain and we had the choice of over 10 different barbecue sauces. I also asked him which sides were best, he recommended the mac and cheese and french fries. I went with the corn bread and mac and cheese. Neither were impressive, but maybe that is because I am from Wisconsin. My friends got the ribs, chicken, french fries, vinegar coleslaw, and french fries - all were amazing!
I don't know what tipped off the staff, but they quickly realized that we weren't from around there so they insisted on giving us samples of all of their other sides (sample means about half of a side). So here is the run down... fresh french fries - amazing, mac and cheese - not great, corn pudding - my personal favorite, corn bread - again not great, gumbo - good but not my thing, sweet potato casserole - very sweet, and peach cobbler - good but very sweet.
The portions were huge, definitely share with a friend unless you want left overs. The staff was great, very attentive, friendly, and helpful. Someone even came to check on us about half way through our meal.
