| - Based on all the great reviews, I thought this place would be fabulous. It definitely did not live up to all the hype. I made reservations over a week in advance and specified a table. When we arrived, the hostesses did not even greet us. There were 3 of them standing at the podium talking. I had to interrupt their conversation to say we had reservations. There was no one else waiting. Apparently reserving in advance gets you a high top table on the stage underneath the giant screen tv which was packed with people. We asked to be seated elsewhere, a little less crowded. The hostess got annoyed and said she would have to see if there was anything available. Meanwhile we could see several empty tables to the left. So my husband suggested it. Hostess sighed and said fine. Great we were seated. It only got worse from there. Our server was James. We saw him 4 times - once to take our order after waiting about 15 min, 2nd to deliver appetizer, 3rd to deliver our food, and 4th to give us the check and boxes which we had to ask for. No refills were offered nor were we asked if we wanted another round of drinks.
As for the food, portion sizes were large but taste not so much. My husband loves BBQ. So we've been to a lot of places. This is the worst by far. I've had better pulled pork at Famous Dave's!!! The burnt ends appetizer was mostly fatty, greasy pieces with bland, tasteless plantain discs. My husband ordered the meatloaf which was supposed to be a combination of chorizo and beef. It was so overwhelmingly chorizo that you could taste nothing else. His cheddar mashed potatoes contained no cheese. He added a side of baked beans which were more onions and other things than beans. I chose the pick 2 combo of pulled pork and sausage link. Both were drowning in the sugar ladden, tomato-based BBQ sauce, you could not taste anything else. Just not good. Apple slaw was good though and so were the white cheddar grits. I would recommend those sides. Both came with sides of cornbread which were very strange with a hard, sugared top. Dry like the desert. Not like any cornbread I've ever had and not in a good way. So from extremely bad service to horrible food, I would suggest dining elsewhere.
