I really wanted to like this place. Been wanting to go since it opened, and talked my son out of going to Outback for ribs, to instead try this restaurant. Sorry to say, that Outback has their ribs beat. Dry, smoked, sauce less. Yes, I get that the sauce is on the table and you can add at free will, but why not make a traditional rib with BBQ sauce for those who don't want to try 6 different sauces to find one?
Kids will want a BBQ sauce rib that doesn't taste smoky. Some adults might too.
The jalapeño cheese grits were good, the sweet potato fries and Mac and cheese were too. Nothing exceptional, but tasted good. Collards were not my thing.
The service was attentive. Dimmer lighting might be nice. Tables are so close together that something has to help the ambience so lighting would go a long way. With some work on the menu, I would give them another shot.
