| - This place was horrendous in every way possible. I like to keep an open mind going to new places, frequently buying Groupon's to places I haven't gone to yet to try them out and explore eateries wherever I may be. This was so bad I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Let me start to say that the place was not too busy (arrived at 6:15pm) - there was nobody waiting in line as there were a number of empty tables. It appeared there were very few employees there - during our visit it appeared there was only 1 person to take orders and ring up tickets, 1 person to get drinks and clean tables, and 1 person in the kitchen, there may have been more in the kitchen, but only saw one person from the kitchen carrying out food as since the other half was so understaffed she was running out orders here and there because nobody was picking them up - this spells disaster already.
My guest and I ordered a brisket meal and a pulled pork meal. IT TOOK NEARLY 45 MINUTES TO GET OUR ORDER, ONLY AFTER ASKING WHAT WAS TAKING SO LONG! The only good aspect is that for the price of the meal the pulled pork meal had plenty of meat for the price, the brisket meal on the other hand was the severe opposite, very little meat for the higher price paid. Except for the baked beans on one meals side, the rest of the food was not hot. The brisket was slightly warm, but the pulled pork and the "famous" sweet potato casserole side dish both meals got were all COLD. We didn't want to send anything back as it already took 45 minutes to get our food to begin with.
Everybody's food was taking forever. We overheard other patrons complaining. Also, the service staff is severely cold and rude. They never ever came over to see if the food was ok - just finally went to get it when we asked what was taking so long, dropped it off, then we had to wave her down again just to get our check. Refill of drink, ask if everything was ok with the order? HAHA not going to happen at this place. The server even had the gall to tell a patron seated behind me to "come back again, without a Groupon next time" - how rude, they were visibly upset.
The regular sauce is OK, nothing to write home to mom about... and if you like spicy food, the hot sauce is pretty hot, even my Asian friend who loves hot food commented it was a little too hot for a BBQ place.
I will not return, and if it keeps up the tone it had tonight, I would expect this dive to close soon.
