This place is awesome for the fact alone, they have Gluten Free Mac & Cheese. Not only do they have GF Mac & Cheese, it's delicious. Tried the regular Mac & Cheese and the the one that normally came with bbq pulled pork, but they swapped it out for chicken for me.
So here is my qualms with this place.
1. It advertises itself as "Midwestern Comfort Food". No, the menu the day we went was COMPLETELY Southern style food and not Midwestern at all. So why label yourself as a certain type of food & it be pretty far from the truth. Grits, Pork, Pimento Cheese. All super southern. Not that we don't enjoy these things in the Midwest, it's just these are notoriously known for being southern.
2. Everything on this menu, minus like one thing was PORK. They had this giant sized list of a menu, and literally everything was pork. Not everyone eats pork. A lot of people don't for religious reasons and personal reasons. I don't eat pork, nor does my husband or daughter. My other family members aren't crazy about it. So we just stood and stared at the menu and debated for awhile & then all of us just got Mac & Cheese.
3. When I saw they had a item with shredded chicken, I asked the women if she could swap the BBQ Pulled Pork out for the pulled chicken. She kindly did so. However, as my husband even pointed out. She kept making it a point that they don't normally do that, and basically was doing me a BIG favor. Is how she was acting about it. Yikes.
This place isn't my cup a tea. Which is sad because the Mac & cheese is truly great. But when that's the only thing you can get off the menu, a small cup of it. Doesn't make a meal. We all left still hungry. That's not what you want from a place you drove a hour to try.
I'm sure everything else on their menu is great if you're into pork. Go for it. You'll probably love it. But this is going to be a pass for me in the future. read more
