my go-to place!. you may have heard about this place from friends, like i did a few years back, and finding it without any specific directions can feel a bit like a treasure hunt... but i am so glad that i made the trip because this has been my wife and mine's "spot" since then!
true smoked meats, southern-style side dishes, raggedy decor and a good craft-beer selection make this place a dream for people like me! and the best part, you walk into this little place and the sweet smell of smoked bbq just overwhelms you.
i have visited this place dozens of times, but not so much recently due to business travel. my most recent visit was two weeks ago on a friday night with my wife. we ordered our "usual" - the extreme sample - pulled pork, beef brisket, ribs and a chicken leg/thigh, all split between the two of us. the food has always been amazing, but this time, it tasted even better. never has it tasted so smoky and been so moist… i could not get over it. when our waiter came by and asked, i mentioned what i thought about the food… he told us that the new owners had been working hard at improving everything. we must have been out of the loop because we had no idea this place had been sold! but our waiter assured us that the new owners are a group of employees of the former, and that everything is sure to stay the same but just improved on.
like i said the food was always the reason we had been returning, and now that they seemed to find a way to make it even better, we'll still be coming back! but, like another review mentioned, the service has never been great. nothing too serious has happened to us, just little irks… on this particular night for example, our drinks had been empty for a while, and our waiter had not been back to check up on us. with other waiters frantically running by us to tend to their table we assumed they were short staffed, and it was in fact busy. but then i glanced around the dining room and saw our waiter laughing and talking with two casually dressed employees (managers??) at the front desk. maybe i am picky but like i said, nothing too serious, just minor annoyances with the service.
with all that said, the food is absolutely too die for and if you love southern bbq like we do then you have to stop by this place!
