Went on a nice Friday evening and was a little surprised to see the place not very full. The wait staff was very nice and prompt, and the place smells strongly of woodsmoke - an actual smokehouse.
The beer list was a bit weak for this sort of place, but was adequate. Maybe if the beer list was a little more craft heavy they may see people coming for a beer and bbq more often.
We ordered the sampler for 2 with pulled pork, ribs, and brisket. Both of us thought the pulled pork and brisket were fantastic. They come dry and honestly don't really need sauce at all. Despite that fact, we had a good time trying the mixture of sauces they bring to the table, which was a good range of bbq sauce flavours (nothing Carolina style though), and they even gave some recommendations on using combinations of sauces that go well together, which got the experimentation going.
The ribs were good but not as great as the other two mains. For sides we went with collards and cornbread - both good decisions. We brought some of everything home for lunch the next day - prices seem a little high, but you get your money's worth on the portion size.
Good spot in a quiet neighbourhood. Also the one side of the restaurant opens to the street floor to ceiling, which could be real nice in the summer.
