I'm not a huge bar bq connoisseur but I've had a few places to compare with. I would say this place is average. Was hoping to find a hidden gem but wasn't really anything out of the ordinary. The platter was huge with lots of sides but the meat was kind of dry. Yes, I know that's what bar bq sauce is for but I do like when the meat is already kind of moist. I mean, that's what these meals were invented from but we are not in times when it's an eat to survive only type of living. As I mentioned, I want to find something special but was kind of let down when it was just very average. The portions were good size and I couldn't even finish which is rare because I hardly ever let food go to waste but I just couldn't finish. Corn bread with two sides which I opted for macaroni and baked beans. I read somewhere that the macaroni was amazing but found it to be just different texture, nothing really different in flavor. The lady who seemed to be the owner or in the family was friendly but at the same time she was just a little overbearing for my taste. I was the only customer when I arrived. It was like she was being pressured to make a good impression. I understood this so I suggested that maybe if they had an eating contest as a menu item that they could advertise and bring more customers in but they kind of cut me off while I was mentioning it and when I finally got it out, they just looked at me like I was crazy. I could see this place getting better if it was busier but the location added the area was tough. Like I said, if they had something to draw people in it could be a real gem with the added attention to hone off those little problems which usually results from becoming busier. But, until then, 20 bucks for a platter will have to wait. ( this was also another indication that they were struggling. Owners tend to freak out and drive prices up instead of spending on advertising which will make costs irrelevant when there's a higher customer turnover )
