My wife gave this place a shot after a long day and empty stomachs. I ordered the grilled chicken and she ordered the Blackened catfish both with brussel sprouts slaw. Where to begin?
The slaw had too much celery seed to the point of being unpalatable. The biscuit was inedible. The grilled chicken was fried and then placed in the grill for grill marks. The blackened catfish was breaded and then deepfried. I'm not from the Southern United States but I can say with absolute certainty that is not what blackened means. I really wanted to like this place the East End gets a new wave or restaurants bringing unique cuisines closer to home. However, Blackjack BBQ needs to be honest about what they're selling because it isn't Southern BBQ. it isn't even Canadian.
