Try a drink at the bar while you wait. They almost always have several delicious brews to choose from. \n\nMy favorite items on their menu are the burnt ends (come early, they run out fast), the brisket and the potato casserole. The cornbread is also tasty. The burnt ends and brisket are both melt in your mouth tender and the carolina red sauce mixed with the georgia peach makes for a great combo. It's a little bit greasy, but not too much so.\n\nThe service is usually great but if I was to critique anything it would be their seating policy. That you must have 100% of your party to be seated even if it has no impact on what table youll go to (think 3 of 4 people or 5 of 6 people) and even if you plan on ordering drinks / apps is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. I assumed they'd fix that after opening their second location, but they decided to keep it...\n\nIf you're in town and dont mind a 30 min wait or so, I highly recommend it. Just make sure you've got your whole party present..."^^ . .
