    Brisket
    J E.

    Came in for lunch on a weekday, they were moderately busy around noon'ish, but we didn't wait long to place our orders. They have a very appetizing menu, with salads, sandwiches, and then meat & side platters. I opted for their 2 meat platter to try their brisket and sausage. The sausage was rather basic, not very smokey. Tasted like it was seasoned with black pepper and not a lot more. The casing was also on the rubbery side, not very crispy. The brisket's flavor was decent, though not very smokey also. I did see that a new brisket was brought up while they were preparing our orders and I suspect I got the last of the previous one which might have been a little dried out by the time it was sliced for me. I also tried a single rib - very disappointing. Almost had the texture of being baked or made in some form other than smoking and then maybe finished with smoke. Lots of fat and not much meat on it. For sides, I tried their corn bread, cole slaw, and baked beans. The baked beans had some meat in them, but were very sweet and not very spiced in flavor. I added jalapeños to them which spiked them up nicely. Their cole slaw was excellent. Exactly how I prefer it, which is on the basic side with fresh ingredients. Not overly saucy and definitely perfectly seasoned. Their corn bread was OK, but the Texas toast they give with the meal was so much better. Their sauces were ok. I tried all of them and found that their NC vinegar sauce packed the most flavor, while I couldn't tell which was their "brush fire" spicy sauce, as the spice level seemed the same as the others. Overall, I probably should have ordered one of their appetizing-looking sandwiches, as I'm sure all the ingredients come together better like that rather than trying them individually. But I wasn't tasting much smoke in the items I tried.

    Here on a work assignment in Florence Kentucky, and wanted to try barbecue. This is near the area I stayed. I was presently surprised of the service the quality the smoke rings on their brisket need I have to say anymore. Next time I come in the area. I definitely will stop by a few times great people great service great quality. Love the All smoke no mirrors and it speaks volumes!!!!

    Chicken was cooked perfectly. Chocolate cake was delicious. Bbq didn't have much flavor and was just okay. Cute place.

    honey butter croissants are honestly worth the visit alone. If you're really hungry, the ribs or…read morethe Monte Cristo are solid choices and definitely filling. One thing that stands out is the portion sizes you're getting a lot for your money. It's great for families or anyone who wants leftovers for later. Everything tastes fresh and made-to-order, which gives it that "homestyle" feel without having to cook. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for a laid-back dinner or a quick weeknight meal.

    So I'm not one for chain restaurants, usually, but this has qualified for my list of "try it…read moreagains." My first time here. The hostess was tepid, maybe a stressed day for her. Not the bubbly welcoming sort. I questioned myself if i made the right choice for a quick lunch. Thankfully I was paired with a waitress who smiled, welcomed me and really listened to what I wanted. I ordered the fish and chips (still coming off of Lent...habit, I guess). I was pleasantly surprised. I expected frozen and flashed fried pieces. What I was served were three delicately beer battered sustainably farmed swai... good sized and delicious! The accompanying fries were fantastic as well. My only suggestion if you get bothered by loud noise while dining is to be seated away from the tvs. Bathrooms are clean and walkways are not greasy sticky. I'll be back to try other items on there extensive menu!

Also, the guy at the counter was very friendly and helpful. The "Meh" - the fries were just okay. But my buddy liked them - I thought they would have similar seasoning to the chicken or shrimp. The service took a little bit longer that I anticipated - I thought it would be more of a fast food feel, but to dine in, we needed at least 30 minutes. That's not bad - I just assumed (wrongly) it was more of a casual, fast feel. Would come back again!

We arrived at the restaurant and the young lady working was pleasant and friendly. We asked her what her favorites were and she said everything was good, some days she has the fish and others the chicken. She provided an extensive menu for our review. We took the menu and perused, decided to do one fish (cod) and one chicken tender meals with zucchini sticks. When the meals arrived the chicken looked good, the fish looked not so good. The cod was an off color best described as gray and was irregularly shaped ( looked more like perch). The fish was more breading and a bit greasy, definitely a fishy taste. The zucchini sticks were breading and mush ) very watery. The chicken was moist however the breading sloughed off when cutting and it had an off taste. The only things edible without comment were the fries and coleslaw. My wife and I both only consumed small bites of the food and decided it was not worth risking... should have followed our instincts and went elsewhere immediately. The menu is too extensive to be able to provide quality entrees. We stopped on the way home and picked up a pizza for lunch. Very disappointed, Mike's will not be on our list in the future.
