We were sceptical to try this place based on the mixed reviews. And now after trying their food I too have mixed feelings about this place. The atmosphere and decor is nice, two dinning areas and a nice outdoor patio. The one thing that is missing is the great aroma of smoke. Service was great and the menu ( bbq, southern with a Mexican flare) has options from bbq pork nachos, salads, sandwiches, burgers, tacos and your standard bbq meats.
Items ordered
Beef short rib with Brussel Sprouts. The Brussel Sprouts were tender and had a nice little char on them. The beef rib, fatty, under seasoned, extremely chared exterior, no smoke flavor but as far as the little amount of meat that was under all that was nice, tender and juicy.
Burnt ends with fried corn. The burnt ends were extremely dry and had zero smoke. The only flavor it had was the little amount of sauce they had put on them. The corn was amazing love the Chipotle butter it was a great addition. Very flavorful.
Momma Bear platter (brisket, Pulled Pork and spare ribs) and for the sides baked mac n cheese. The brisket was tender, juicy and a little amount if fat. Did not taste any seasoning or smoke. The pulled pork had no flavor and was super dry. The spare ribs were cooked perfectly but again no flavor. Mac n cheese had a great melted gruyere top crust, but once you get through it, the pasta was over cooked and the cheese sauce was runny and really had no flavor.
Over all the meats were really underwhelming. Some sides were ok but nothing to write home about. Now I am not a pit master and it could just be me, because the place was jammed around lunch time. So don't just trust the reviews try it for yourself.
