| - Good quality BBQ at a decent price, good atmosphere - kind of like contemporary brewery meets sports bar meets BBQ, with odd music choices. Almost like an identity crisis that somehow works. The service was friendly but SLOW. For BBQ which has already been smoked, it should come out quickly! We were seated at 6:05 pm and our check was also slow in coming out, finally arrived around 8:30 pm! Most of the time was spent waiting for the food or check. We ate quickly because we had two kids in tow. They also never brought out those warm wet washcloths to wipe your hands, so I had to wash my hands to get the BBQ sauce off of my hands.
That being said, the ribs were meaty and delicious with a subtle hint of smoke. The sweet sauce was good, but the vinegar sauce was too astringent. The fries weren't great (luke warm and hard) but the Alabama sauce was really good. The succotash was ok, they used corn cut off the cob. Pulled pork was standard. The burnt ends were a little tough, but came with local pickles (cool) and Wonder bread-type bread slices. Why?? My five-year-old son complained about the mac and cheese; I tasted it wondering what could be wrong with mac and cheese, and it was suspiciously Velveeta-esque. Overall, their meat was good quality, but they skimped on some of the sides.
Lucille's is better and worth the extra drive, unless you just want a trendy place to hang out.
