Reviews
Said friend suggested we get the all meats and all sides and we could all share, I had no complaints because his employer was paying for it.
First off I’d like to start with I’m hard on restaurants, I cook a lot so I don’t have high expectations going into a place, but everything on the tray was great! All the meats were cooked perfectly, moist and tender with the exception of the trip it was a little tough, but everything had great flavor and the texture was on point. Next comes the sides, the chili was so tasty (I know chili at a bbq place is not something you see everyday) and the chicken noodle soup was really creamy and delicious too, the baked beans were a little sweet with a little heat, potato salad was pretty good and the slaw was kinda basic, but the brussel sprouts were the star of the show!
Super cool place, great atmosphere, and it’s not too bad expensive.
This was the third time I have eaten here in the past two weeks and that says a lot because there are a lot of good places to eat around here.
Oh the gumbo is on point too, be sure to try it too!
My first visit started off promising. The atmosphere and vibes were great upon walking in, and the menu looked fantastic—everything seemed like it was setting up for a win.
I ordered the two-meat plate: brisket and ribs, with potato salad and baked beans on the side. When the food arrived, I was surprised by how small the portions were—one thin slice of brisket, two small rib bones, decent-sized sides, and a garnish of pickle and onion. With portions that tiny, I figured the flavor had to be extraordinary to justify it.
Unfortunately, it was anything but. I started with the ribs, which were mostly gristle and fell apart into pieces. I managed to carve out one small bite of actual meat—and that was it. The brisket was okay (not great), and the table sauces were fine, but with just one slice, there wasn’t much to work with.
The sides were the only bright spot. The baked beans were meaty with a nice sweet-smoky flavor, and the potato salad was a tasty mayonnaise-based mix with red potatoes and green onions.
For $27 (including a drink), I expected a lot more meat—and for the meat I did get to be significantly better. The service and atmosphere were solid—that’s where the one star comes from—but a barbecue place can’t survive on vibes alone. The food needs to be plentiful and excellent, and this wasn’t.
I won’t be returning, though I wish the restaurant luck. It’s only been open about a year, and I hope it finds its footing.
(Note: This review was originally dictated while driving and has since been corrected.)
Tri-tip which is a California standard was chewy and too raw.
Brisket was little dry as was the Turkey.
Definitely not keeping the meats wrapped in the warmer and they may be slicing too early and not as needed.
The biggest fail for me though was the garlic smoked Mac and cheese, I know, it’s made with garlic but I believe they used the whole garlic filed with it. Could not eat it because it was overpowering. Service was good, food delivery was fast and the staff in the seating area was very pleasant and friendly.
Overall a great experience, the girl working was very sweet and the food was delicious. I had some pork belly bites and banana pudding- I had to try the banana pudding because we don’t serve that at my place but some customers keep requesting it.
The pork belly bites were excellent, had them in Szechuan (was surprised when they asked if I wanted Szechuan or ranch). Was surprised by the style, not cooked the same way I’m used to but not complaining one bit. And the spicy Carolina bbq is so good I bought a bottle to bring for the boys back home…
My friend got a pork sandwich and a brisket chili, both looks excellent as well.
Overall a 10/10 experience, would love to try this place again if I’m ever back in town, I’d almost drive back from Wisconsin just to get the pork belly bites again and try more menu options.
