Enjoyed the bbq sauce. The Mac and cheese was dry with no flavor. Definitely overcooked and dried out. Shame. I tried the cabbage side but it was not my favorite. Sausage looked a bit overcooked and dry as well. Seems like Sunday might not be the best day to visit. What a shame.

We got there Thursday a little after 4pm opening in a downpour so there wasn't a line. The day's special--written on a white board--was an alligator po boy and Mr R had never had alligator so that was easy. For myself I chose the soulful catfish bites from the menu at the window (he posts the week's menu on FB, although I didn't see sides mentioned). As sides I chose sweet potato fries and okra, for dessert the blueberry cobbler. One lemonade and one sweet tea. Lord, it was tasty. The gator po boy had a soft white sub roll, untoasted, with iceberg, pickles and tomatoes. The gator chunks were about 1.5 to 2x the size of chicken nuggets, with a perfect crunchy coating and not greasy. The meat was not dry, the flavor was good. The catfish bites were a little smaller than the gator chunks, and with the most perfectly seasoned, crisp, ungreasy, cornmeal coating. The fish was cooked perfectly and couldn't have been hotter/fresher out of the kitchen. The sweet potato fries were lightly salted, cooked expertly and came in a generous pile. The okra came in a light batter and tasted so fresh and green--Mr R fell in love with them (he'd only had okra boiled/wet before), but also blasphemed them with ketchup because he's a terrible person. Each plate came with ketchup, tartar sauce (more like mayo, really), and hot sauce. Two packets of each condiment for each plate which was more than we used. The cobbler. OH! The cobbler. He'd upsized it as a kindness for us, and I still don't know how exactly he made the sugary crunchy cobbler bits as half of them *still* had powerful crunch this morning after sitting overnight. The blueberry part was lovely jammy sticky but not over sweet. It was a wonderful dessert yesterday and a fabulous breakfast this morning. My single point of retraction? The now-moved-on LeStourgeon had the superior po boy set up (in my nascent opinion) with toasty bread and more produce to include romaine, onion and avocado plus a schmear of mayo. That's it, outside of that this meal was perfection. It's not cheap, the wait's never been excessive, it is WORTH it. Forgot to mention he also had a table/chairs set up under a tent which is a nice alternative to eating in your car if you can't wait to get home with good food.

I LOVE BBQ and have high standards. (Maybe I'm a BBQ snob?!)…read more Stopped by for lunch on a Friday. I got a brisket & chicken plate with mac&cheese and cabbage as sides. (I ordered green beans but they were out.) Service was excellent and fast. Prices were good and the serving sizes were healthy. Unfortunately, the brisket was dry and didn't have a whole lot of flavor. Slightly better than pot roast. I admittedly like a lot of bark on my brisket and don't use BBQ sauce. Chicken quarter looked nice, but was also quite dry. Cabbage was okay. Ironically, the Mac & Cheese was the best part of the meal. The inside of the restaurant is supposed to be "rustic" but it's more rundown. Rips in the table coverings & seats, stains on the ceiling tiles, etc. Parking was easy. In general, it's not a place I'd recommend to a friend or drive out of my way to try. You might not be disappointed, but I definitely wasn't impressed.

I would recommend and I could imagine it would taste 10x better if you were hammered. Staff was kind and the food didn't take long at all.

In that 30 minutes they were out of burgers, brisket, and sausage. All I was able to get was the Hawaiian special which was $20 each! Where the rating comes is false advertising and portion sizes you are telling me I spent 40 for a few bites of pulled pork a little mac and a piece of wonderbread. Which by the way the advertising said Hawaiian Roll. What a joke! The only reason this place isn't getting a one is because the pulled pork was good. Maybe when they get their inventory and advertising in order I will give it another chance.

This is a casual, fast dining, chipotle style korean food bowl or burrito-like (called ssam) place. Not much service to talk about here other than polite staff. Order, pay and eat. It's more Korean flavors than any mex imo but they did have a mean looking queso you can dump on your meal. I got spicy chicken bowl with noodles and a bunch of stuff. It was yummy! My only knock, it can be pricey, especially if you get the steak or bibimbap. That said, if my bowl was anything to go by, im sure it would taste great!

The tortilla is also ube/taco infused and is bright purple but again didn't really get any of the flavor to come through.
