After supporting one of my Pastor friends, we decided to come to a restaurant we've never been…read morebefore. We searched up places near us, and this place had 4 stars. I will just say this was a very disappointing experience. When we arrived, no one was there. When the greeter did come, she hesitantly approached us and handed us a paper printed menu in a dark, empty restaurant, which immediately felt off to us. When our food was served, several items were served cold and lacked flavor. The catfish was barely seasoned and watery, while the chicken had this "special" barbecue sauce but no taste, the Mac and cheese was straight from a box, and was gummy like, and the greens tasted super watered down. The cornbread was extremely hard, and there were white particles floating in the water. Even basic items like the salt container were unusable, sticking to the container. The owner spoke with our group and hyped the restaurant up, but the food and overall experience did not match what was coming out of his mouth. I also noticed everyone else received cornbread with their meal while I did not. Assuming it came with the meal (since me and my brother ordered the exact same thing) I was later charged an extra $6 for it without being informed. Based on the food quality and overall experience, I won't be returning. If zero stars were an option, that's what I'd give.

Food was solid and the vibe was nice, but the service really missed the mark. It wasn't that busy,,…read moreyet there were no waiters around for long stretches, and the lady working the checkout/ drink fountain was surprisingly rude and an awful attitude Also, tipping in advance through the app doesn't help, good service can be easily forgotten when the staff knows the tip is already locked in. Overall, still a good spot, but the service needs attention.

Best BBQ by far in the Bay!…read more Ribs.. on point Collard Greens.. on point Corn bread.. yumm (but they can be a little bigger) Mac n cheese.. great portion (could be a little more creamier) we also ordered the banana pudding, which is super yummy. We had the seafood gumbo, not too spicy, but spicy enough and it was good with big portions of seafood and sausage with a scoop of rice over it. Ordering was easy we scanned a barcode put in our order and got our food within 10 minutes. Great customer service very clean and while we were eating, we could see that the employees put a lot of care into cleaning the tables and seats. Plenty of parking in back very spacious. They have overhead fans, but no need to turn them on because the restaurant was cool and airy not stuffy or hot. The waiters or servers always checked up on us to make sure that we were OK and if we needed anything else. This restaurant knows what they're doing! Added to one of my fav spots!

We got a 3 meat meal too share as a family. Our choices included brisket, pork ribs, and tri tip. The sides we chose were Mac n cheese and potato salad. They also gave us a corn muffin. The brisket was amazing. It fell apart and practically melted when we ate it. The ribs were also pretty good and didn't require gnawing at the bone or around the bone to get the meat and enjoy it. The tri tip seemed a bit more on the dry side and was maybe even a bit on the chewy side (?). I didn't try the potato salad but my husband said it was good and our child seemed to like it, too. The Mac n cheese has probably got to be the most amazing, incredible, greatest Mac n cheese I've EVER had in my life!!! The meat was covered in sauce and while I tend to go for dry rub, it did NOT taste too sweet, spicy, and was not overpowering or even too much for me. The corn muffin sadly was just MUCH too dry. I definitely hope to come back though and get some more brisket and Mac n cheese, at least.

The only things that sucks about this place is how long they take to make the food and the seating. The chairs are on their last leg and are about to break soon. Lastly, the owner wears black gloves while handling money and touching the door so it kinda looks like he goes in the back and handles food with those same gloves because I've never seen him take them off after handling money or touching the door. Kinda gross!

The halibut special was mouthwatering, and according to our son, he would eat the ribs daily. Our daughter ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and it could have fed an army. For dessert we tried the skillet cookie and mousse, and once again, and they were delicious. If food is good but the service is mediocre, it ruins the entire experience. However, the staff checked on us about every two minutes, and even brought a small dish of water and extra napkins for our son who was eating ribs. We'll be back...very soon. Come here and support this fantastic eatery.
