I used UberEats to have this delivered, so I can't comment about the service or the interior…read more However, I have had this less than two weeks ago, so the taste of what I had here was still fresh in my mind and so comes the review. My order? I had burnt ends, a Caesar Salad, cornbread, and a slice of key lime pie for dessert. The fact all these came together in the same order with a wait time that wasn't suicide inducing is always a plus, especially in a delivery setting. The cornbread was cake-like and soft, and the butter that came with it complimented this cornbread perfectly! I have no complaints about this cornbread. The Caesar Salad come with blue cheese dressing. The salad dressing wasn't great, but the salad itself was actually really good. Just make sure you eat it the day you get it because the Croutons lose their crunch if you store it for leftovers, and grab a fork for the dressing if you're gonna have the dressing at all. In fact, the whole salad does not hold for too long, so it was a good thing I didn't wait another day to finish this so as not to risk it wilting. Other than those, you get a great portion and it's actually really good when you first get it. The key lime pie is pretty good and tastes just like a key lime pie should. No complaints here either. Now for the burnt ends. The meat can be a little tough, but I can get over that, especially with the BBQ sauce. If you can't get over the toughness of the meat, then you'll have a tough time with this. Overall, they're good and definitely an option for barbecue if you are close to Waterbury but do not want to actually go there. I can only give this four stars because I have not actually been to this place in person and only ever had this through delivery. If I do actually go there, I may change this to a five.

I was in the hospital and can't drive, so I figured I'd order from door dash since the restaurant is local. I requested an iced tea with lemon with my $37 dinner of pasta & salad. I then received a message that the lemon will cost me .62 cents. Are they kidding? Sorry, first time is now last time. P.S. after receiving the food: there is absolutely nothing to recommend about this. Pasta sauce clearly not made there, pasta overcooked. Further, they managed to charge me for a lemon, but forgot the utensils u requested. So now here I sit, with 2 broken wrists, so I guess I'll just put my head in the plate and eat. Always wondered how this place stayed in business and if it was a front for something. I've never seen one person there, and now I know why. Wouldn't recommend this place to my enemy.
