    Smoked Hot Honey Wings and Cornbread
    Michelle S.

    I have been here a few times for trivia with friends. I have tried the pulled pork sandwich, the hot honey smoked wings, the pickle spears and the cornbread. I have gotten the smoked wings twice now because they're amazing. I love a simple classic made cornbread square and they did a cornbread muffin and it had a different flavor profile than your usual cornbread. It wasn't my favorite but still good! The pulled pork sandwich and pickle spears were classic and what you would expect. I will definitely be back as I really enjoy the atmosphere especially for a trivia night!

    PROS: staff is nice, rustic atmosphere, food is good and fresh, parking is plentiful on the streets nearby, they're also a sports bar CONS: takes forever for the food to be made, overpriced, and my gadget they gave me to tell me the food was ready malfunctioned. OVERALL: it was a good spot, and as long as you don't mind the wait and spending extra money I recommend coming here. You order your food and pick it up at a counter, instead of a waiter attending to you. That could either be a pro or con depending on what you like

    I came in to try the ribs, and I'm so glad we did! The ribs were absolutely delicious. We also ordered the waffle fries, and I highly recommend everyone try them! I did notice some oil accumulating at the bottom from the cheese, so I placed a fork underneath to give it a tilt for the oil to drain. Despite that, the fries were still fantastic! The process of ordering our food was quick, and we received it promptly. The place was busy but not overcrowded. I also observed that there were quite a few kids around, which didn't bother me at all. It's nice that there's a bar area for parents to relax while spending time with their children.

    This place exceeded my expectations. Its in a historical train station . So beautiful. Large. The bar is great. Lots of amazing frozen drinks like lemonade slushy. Thyme keeps on sipping drink was delicious. The easiest whisky drink ever. Highly recommend both drinks. The sides were stand alones. The waffle fries snd dip a 10. Comforting like chips and onion dips. The street corn was outstanding. Juicy and fresh and the toppings hit every taste buds and texture. The fried green tomatoes, with pimento toppings was the best i ever had. Quality bite. We had the works. The baby back ribs, pastrami, pulled chicken and pork freaking amazing. Smoky flavor. Fell off the bone. Quality taste. The wings and white sauce Outrageously delicious. We left none behind. Nice charr grilled asparagus. The tomato salad was fresh and light. Reminded me of homade summer salads from the market. The staff and customers great. Patrick and Chris went above and beyond. Fun games and events going on. Highly recommend. Best bbq up North.

    We were in the area and looking for a quick bite to eat and found this place. It's huge on this inside of the old train station and the entire place is self serve. You order your food at the counter and then pick it up when ready. You order at the bar and are served on the spot. We ordered the hot honey wings and chopped brisket sandwich. The wings had a good sweet flavor to them and a crunchy exterior from being smoked. They definitely did not have hotness to them. The chopped brisket sandwich was good but nothing too special. I would love to come back in the warmer months and take advantage of their outdoor seating and free parking lot.

    It's a super easy going spot. Lots of tables. Order food up front, drinks at the bar. They give you a buzzer so you can chill until it buzzes that your food is ready. We got the pulled chicken sandwich, smoked hot honey wings, sweet potato with chopped brisket and fried green tomatoes. My husband had the sandwich and he said it was a tad dry. The wings were flavorful, more sweet than spicy. The sweet potato had a dash of cinnamon and the chopped brisket on top. I think it was a $5 add-on, very little for the amount of brisket. A bit salty honestly. The fried green tomatoes were soggy and the cheese on top was tasty but salty. I drank soooo much water. Water spots were everywhere so I was able to fill up my canteen. Was perfect for this very hot place. Not a lot of ventilation, the AC wasn't great. We were steaming! I would say, chill spot with friends and family. Good spot with kids. Just food is a bit salty and it's hot AF in August. Service was amazing though.

    I enjoy trying something new everytime I come here. I love these green peppers they have a little kick to them and I love this sweet potato and meat dish. I enjoy coming here mostly during the summer and eating in their back patio. There's always some event happening in the area. They also have live bands.

    The vibes are so cute. You might have trouble finding the entrance at night due to no lit up sign but it is so worth it. You order in the window for food right when you walk in. And there is buzzers that go around and take dishes off the tables. The menu is gluten free so for my fellow celiac friends put this place on your list to try! The chicken sandwich was very tasty and juicy 9.5 , the Brussel sprouts were salty and delicious 10/10 and the sweet potatoes with pulled pork was okay. I am not a sweet potato lover but the sour cream mix they pair with it definitely dresses the dish well 6/10. The pulled pork was more on the dryer side. 5/10 The ambiance of the place is definitely hipster and welcoming. We came for trivia night and I will be back at least once a month of it ! Overall 8/10

    This place has a nice outdoor space which makes it ideal for summer and fall outings once the weather is nice but this time my friends and I decided to eat inside. You make your selections for food close to the entrance and they hand you a buzzer once your order is up. There's also a full bar around the corner where you can order drinks. I went with a Bulleit Bourbon on the rocks and for food I ordered the smoked sausage, cornbread, collard greens and brisket. The brisket was my favorite, it was juicy and flavorful. The table also has two choices for sauce, and I wanted some more variety im used to about 4 or 5 different sauces for Southern BBQ. The cornbread was dry for my taste and pretty hard. I also wished the collard greens had a bit of ham hock in it for added flavor. Smoked sausage had a bit of kick in it as it had jalapeños inside. There was also a live band inside who wasn't great, it seemed like they were just starting off.

    Three means good. How many places can this incredibly large old train station be? When it was the Pig place, the food and drink quality was high. In its current Pineapple phase, it is a pleasant BBQ joint with a bar. I didn't think my martini was that good and the beer selection was so-so. But it remains a fun spot for gathering, which is what we did after our friend premiered his latest film at Montclair Film Festival.

    Okay - I went here because a coworker was insisting that this sandwich was something you had to…read morehave. AND OH MY GOODNESS. I think it's my top sandwich I've ever had. We brought it back home and the cutlet was still plenty warm and the romaine was cold and crunchy. My coworker and boyfriend suggest getting some extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping. The place was cutie pie - I liked that they were playing good music and had a silly book of animals I could browse at while I waited for the food to be ready. There was an altercation of two couples yelling at each-other and causing a fuss. Lowkey I wish the manager would have refused service to all 4 of them because why were they being absolutely terrible at 1pm on a Saturday. Not kicking them out promotes they can act like that and have no repercussions. But anywho guess the sandwiches are worth fighting over. I will be returning!

    Ordered the chicken Caesar sandwich for takeout and honestly - holy moly cow!! This thing was…read moremassive, which definitely explains the price. I was a little hesitant when I saw the total. If I'm paying around $20 for a sandwich, it better be worth it... and this absolutely was! It was so so good - fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. Honestly, this was lunch and dinner, and lunch and dinner again the next day. Leftovers can go in the fridge and can be enjoyed the next day just as much. Will be back to try the other sandwiches! Only thing to note is their limited hours, so plan ahead--but it's 100% worth it.
