| - Walked in and was immediately disappointed by the atmosphere. It was so brightly lit it felt like I was in a fast food restaurant or school cafeteria. I waited about 5 minutes for the host to put my name on a list. Was seated shortly after. After a few minutes the waitress comes over, apologizes for taking so long because they are understaffed and then tells us they are out of the bone out ribs. This is their signature item! When I try a new restaurant I always want to try the most well known thing on their menu and they didn't have the de-boned ribs, so we ordered the baby back ribs instead. The Mac n Cheese was good, the beef brisket was really good, their barbeque sauce is very good. The ribs were very meaty, but not tender at all. Tough to pull apart. The flavor was very good though. I luckily had a groupon, because this seemingly very casual fast food looking place is quite high priced! The bill for 2 meals and 2 beers would have been over 45 dollars! The most shocking part... here's where I feel like I got robbed... I ordered a sam adams Octoberfest. Bill comes, the price: 8 dollars! Yep, 8 dollars, at a little casual place outside of Cleveland Ohio. I expect 8 dollars in New York City, Los Angeles, fancy Airport bars, etc, but not at a little casual joint in a suburb so far outside of Cleveland it is almost country.
In short:
The food was good, but meat could have been more tender, but was a little overpriced and the beer was like a robbery. I never would have ordered an 8 dollar beer knowingly. And the atmosphere needs some dimmer lighting and the tables and chairs look very bland so something there.
