I am going to add to the consensus of "I just don't get why this place wins so many awards" and "Why was this place featured on DD&D?"
We were with a large party so I was able to sample many of the dishes. That being said, nearly all of the meats tasted the same. The two exceptions were the steak and the chicken fingers. The ribs, brisket, pulled pork and even the ham all tasted the same. The food tasted good enough but I feel i get better barbecue at the to-go place down the road that here. Dessert was good (no one had the fried twinkie) but again, just good.
The atmosphere is way over the top. However, based on previous reviews I knew that going in. I would love to say that adds to what the restaurant is all about, but it really doesn't make sense.
The service was good. Nothing amazing but not horrible. There was a period where the server disappeared and for a group of our size it was kind of annoying. But, the server knew their stuff so that was appreciated.
Would I visit again? Probably not. Do I regret going? No.
