    Two Meat / Two Sides
    Jason M.

    Solid workup of the former establishment into what appears to be higher end fast casual BBQ. Spacious interior, plenty of seating, and large amount of options. Everything coming out to the order pickup station looked and smelled amazing! I opted for the 1/4 Lb 2 meat & 2 sides as I wanted to dabble. I tried the brisket and the smoked sausage, paired with the southern poblano & cheddar grits and pimento Mac & cheese. The meats were both great, the grits were outstanding, and the Mac & cheese was decent. The one item that floored me was the cornbread - it was out of this world, and I usually skip it due to many places offering subpar cornbread. The sauce flight was a necessary thing, even though it's an additional charge. Counter staff were fun and friendly!

    Brisket sandwich

    Outstandingly bad. Easily worst BBQ I have ever had. Flavorless brisket. The Mac n cheese side (in addition to being pitifully small) is completely flavorless. Truly, no seasoning, no flavor. I don't know how that is even accomplished. I got a brisket sandwich, which had two small pieces of brisket (cold) and a shamefully small amount of "toppings". This place is NOT worth your time. The cornbread was good and moist, the only redemption. We really wanted to appreciate this - being associated with the Rev we had high expectations. For these prices, please don't bother. I am normally proud to show friends or family from out of town how great our food scene is in Rochester... I'm now afraid of people judging Rochester by a place like this calling itself BBQ. It won't last, if the food stays anything like this...

    Lux is a different experience every night depending on what is going and who is DJ. Some things…read morestay the same regardless of when you go: great vibes, quick bar service, cheap drinks, and a long bathroom line. Definitely more a hole in the wall in terms of charm, but you'll have a good night there regardless.

    I've been a loyal customer at this establishment for nearly 20 years and never expected to…read moreexperience what I did. For years, I had no issues--until one of the security guards, an older light-skinned man with dreadlocks who has worked there forever, began targeting me for no reason. On multiple occasions he acted aggressive and confrontational toward me, even though I never raised my voice or reacted negatively. The last incident was the worst. He disrespected me in a way no customer should ever experience, threatened to "f** me up,"* and had me banned despite the fact that I never did anything to him. His hostility seems to stem from the fact that he doesn't like someone I happen to associate with--someone who also never disrespected him. What makes this even more concerning is that the owner appears to allow this type of behavior. I've seen this guard act out for years, and instead of correcting it, it feels like it's been encouraged. Many people I know have had negative experiences at this bar, and some have even lost their lives due to the environment created when drug activity is allowed inside. I've spent thousands of dollars here over the last 17 years, and never have I been disrespected the way I was by someone who is supposed to ensure customer safety. I considered speaking to the owner directly, but based on what I've witnessed, I truly believe she condones this behavior from her staff. After nearly two decades of loyalty, I can confidently say I will never return.
