We decided to come here on a Saturday night after reading many great reviews and wanting to try some BBQ. We arrived around 8 to find a half-filled dining area in the front and a busy bar. We were seated immediately and given menus. The dining area has a TV, but was much quieter than the bar area, so I could have an actual conversation with my husband. There is another dining space in the rear, which was not in use the night we were there.
We were greeted by a waitress, but another waiter ended up taking care of us the entire night. After explaining the menu and BBQ procedures to us, he left us to browse the menu. They have a nice draft list and some house wines at reasonable prices. I ordered the Pinot noir and my husband had a bottle of Guinness. They arrived promptly and we then ordered.
I had the smoked wings, which were delicious. I'm used to fried wings, but these were crispy and covered in a flavorful dry rub. I loved them! I had a side of the bold and tangy sauces, which were adequate. Maybe I'll try the spicier options next time! I also had a side of fries, which were thick and crispy but not the best fries in the 'Burgh. I wish they have collard greens as an option...but maybe that's too southern?
My husband ordered the brisket and pulled pork sandwich with a side of homefries. He was underwhelmed by the brisket, noting that it could have been smoked longer and needed more flavor. He did like the pulled pork, but had to eat everything with a fork since it was too hard to eat such a large sandwich on a bun. The bun was fine and fresh, just big! The homefries were crispy and came with peppers and onions, a nice addition.
The waiter was kind and attentive, literally running to get us more BBQ sauce at one point. We will soon be returning to try some of their other options! Overall it was a fine experience if not amazing. We live close by so it's nice to have another option for a quick and cheap dinner.
