Not sure if runny sauce or grease or what. Husband was hungry and ate his but didn't like it. I took about 3 bites and said nope! Baked beans were maybe an ok ? Strange meat maybe in them. Really young girl at counter where you order. Not friendly. Not sure much eye contact. She was adjusting a leg brace so guessing not feeling well. Would not even give this another try.

Great atmosphere looks like a fun place. In a great part of town. Our waitress was great she was sweet, kind, and took good care of us We ordered and promptly received exactly what we ordered fries and a sliced barbecue sandwich each. There were enough fries on each plate to feed two people. A little portion control might be in order here. They were delicious fries. Hand cut just cooked hot delicious The problem was with the sliced brisket sandwich. The meat was rubbery, tough, and pretty bland. Very little bark. I had to hold the meat in one hand and TRY to bite and chew thru it. It was inedible They did trade me out for a pulled chicken sandwich which was better. Not good but better I can't recommend a place that I won't eat at. And I won't go back here ever. One star. At best

I ordered the 3 cheese sausage but they gave me the jalapeno/pineapple instead. I got all of this to go so I didn't notice until I got to my destination. It was really good though even if not my first choice. Baked beans are phenomenal! Smoky, meaty, sweet, peppers. So good - maybe best I've had anywhere. Mac n cheese was seriously lacking flavor. Didn't taste like cheese - just pasta. Needed some seasoning and maybe a smoked cheese or something for more flavor. I would NOT get it again. Green beans had good flavor but was season-less as well. Potato salad was good - mayo based. Bread was just toast - no butter or seasoning. Little frustrated with the service to go. I ordered a few different sauces to try but they just threw them all in the bag and I didn't know what was what. Colors were the same too so I couldn't tell. Would be nice to get some moist towelettes or something in the to go bags too. Ordered to go this time but I've eaten inside before. Restaurant always looks clean and well maintained. Family friendly. Modernish bbq look. Nicely done. Workers are nice and helpful.
