Let me start by saying I openly admit to being a bit of a BBQ snob. Having lived in the mid-west and south for 18 years has given me the opportunity to eat a lot of it, and I think I can consider myself knowledgable.
#1- when we walked in, we sat at a table that had wrapped silverware but the table itself was dirty and extremely sticky. Ugh. For some reason, I could not understand WHY you gave out cloth napkins at a BBQ joint, but oh well. When I unwrapped my silverware, the napkin was coated in long silver hairs. So was my companions. The server gave us two clean napkins.
#2- out of sausage. Sigh. I know this happens, but darn.
#3- I ordered a half salad with my two meat plate and the server came back and said I could not have a regular salad. Caesar or pick another side. Uh.. ok. Caesar it is.
#4- Salad came out with my meal. It was spinach that seriously was the weediest looking stuff ever seen. None of the stems had been trimmed, almost no dressing, and it was covered heavily in so much parmesan you could not get through it. And I don't know where anyone would call this a "caesar"
#5- I had brisket and pulled pork with french fries. Brisket was EXTREMELY tough. Flavour was good, but I know why they gave us serrated knives to cut with. Pulled pork was dry. Sauces were acceptable, my friend really liked the kick from the ghost sauce. The best thing on the plate was the french fries. Sigh.
#6- one server dropped off our bill, then a few minutes later, another came over to do the same. Communication not good, and she kind of bitched at him in front of us. Not professional.
Overall. Meh. My friend was saying compared to other places locally, this was really pretty good. And all I could think was that's a sorry statement to BBQ.
Not really interested in trying again, unless it's maybe to give the sausage a chance. Lots of room for improvement here.
