Ok this was a place I'd been thinking of trying for a while. It's one of those places that when you walk by it, especially on a cold day, the scent is so wonderful you want to run right it.
My wife and I finally...turned out and gave it a try. A part from the fact is it BYOB, the place was pretty much all I could want in a BBQ joint. The designed is sort of a rustic, 1960's retro look with long tables set with bucket loaded with sauce and rolls of paper towels. The staff is friendly and it goes for a minimalist approach. at least for decor.
The food is fast, plentiful and good with large serving. Be advised it should be taken seriously when they say the food is hot. I had the 'hot southern mess' and when they tell you the sauce is their hot BBQ, THEY MEAN IT ! I had to sort of ease into it and I enjoyed it but I was a little worried I might not have any lips left when I was done.
My wife had a chicken dish and while she said it was hot, it was no more so than you'd expect good BBQ to be having a nice tang to it.
The fried rib appetizer seemed like a crime against nature when I saw it on the menu, but I gave it a try, collecting evidence of course, and found the dry heat had concentrated the pork flavor wonderfully.
we'd put off going here for a while, despite the WONDERFUL smells, maybe we were afraid it couldn't live up to those scents but when we finally went on in. Did it ever live up to them.
Yes they don't have a liquor license but you can bring your own and when you're tired of being neglected by the ineffectual staffs of chain places "Smokey Bones" and "Chili's" bring your desire for great BBQ here. you will not be disappointed!More
