It's always nice to have a genuine five-star experience, and this was one…read more Lee, our server, was exceptional. She was there whenever we needed her without ever being too present. That balance is harder to achieve than it sounds. Her attentiveness, knowledge, and timing were outstanding. Service -- 10/10 The dining room is comfortable, roomy, and relaxed. My associate and I were there for about 90 minutes, and it was an easy place to sit, talk, and enjoy a meal without feeling crowded or rushed. Ambience -- 10/10 Now, the food. I had the rib lunch, and before I go any further, I should disclose that I'm a certified BBQ judge with the South Carolina Barbeque Association. That probably makes me a little more particular about ribs than the average customer. These were excellent. The ribs had a delicious flavor and aroma and weren't greasy at all. In fact, they had exactly the sort of appetizing sheen you want to see on a properly prepared rib. If I were judging them critically, I could point to only two things, and neither would keep me from ordering them again. They were a tiny bit softer than my personal preference. As a BBQ judge, my palate has developed toward a rib with a nice, light bite--the meat should release cleanly when bitten but still have some structure. Plenty of people prefer a softer, more fall-apart rib, so this is very much a matter of preference rather than a criticism. I also would have preferred them served a little hotter. Again, I wouldn't mark the ribs down for that. There are plenty of factors that can affect serving temperature, and it isn't something we judge when evaluating the quality of a rib. I don't specifically remember which sides I ordered, which probably says something about how much attention I was paying to the ribs, but I do remember that the sides were excellent as well. Food -- 10/10 Perhaps the strongest endorsement I can give is this: I rarely order ribs in restaurants. Too few places really know how to do them well, and I'll readily admit that judging BBQ has spoiled me. I'd come back here specifically to order these ribs again. That's a 5-star meal.

Yikes. Not what I was expecting for southern barbecue. My husband and I are from New England where…read morebarbecue barely exists, nevermind good barbecue! However, I feel like we've had better barbecue up north than we did here... We ordered a brisket plate + a pork belly plate to share with mac & cheese, grits and corn pudding. The brisket was dry and flavorless. The pork belly was more fat than meat. Thank goodness for the variety of delicious sauces they provided with our meals! I'm giving two stars for the sides & sauces being pretty good but that's about it. I don't know the area but I'm sure you can find better meats elsewhere :(

Took the kids to Willie Jewell's last night. I think the best way to describe it is "just fine"…read more Staff was super friendly and patient with us as we weren't familiar with their menu. We had fried pickles for the table. My daughter got brisket, my son got a burger and fries, and I had the 3 meat plate (sausage, brisket, and pork) with Mac and cheese and hash and rice. Everything on my plate had a nice, smoky flavor to it but was otherwise underwhelming. The sauces lacked real flavor and were bland. The hash was bland and the mac and cheese was just mush with too much flour and too little cheese. My son described his burger as "OK". Inside the decor had that Cracker Barrel thing going on where it's made to look old timey but comes off as manufactured, but you're here for food not aesthetics. Nothing really jumped off the table at me as "this is good". Maybe I am spoiled by having lived near so many stellar smokehouses when I was in the Columbia area, but paying $86 after tip for 3 people to eat very mid grade BBQ and the plates weren't really loaded down, when I could spend less for buffet at Shealy's or Hudson's and have an outstanding meal just doesn't feel great. At the same time, nothing was offensive. It just didn't scratch the BBQ itch for me. J.Ja

As with many Travel Channel recommendations, this place did not live up to the hype that they had…read moreearned. They are so busy that basic service is spotty. The facility was clean and well stocked. The quality of food is not worth the crowding or wait time that so many are subjected. As a single person party, I chose to find a seat at the bar. It was not overly large and was monitored by 2 servers. I was fairly quickly addressed to get my drink and I ordered a starter without prompting due to the number of patrons. Another sat beside me but she was overlooked for quite a bit of time, finally having to ask for a menu. Once my starter arrived, the okra basket, I was ignored. The okra was ok but nothing special, standard premade restaurant supply brand of thickish breading that was intermittently soft or crunchy. I was 1/4 way through the basket before I had a chance to request cutlery and seeing that the servers had started to focus only on the person next to me that they had initially overlooked, I also requested my entree. I had reviewed the menu prior to arrival and decided on my order in advanced. Unfortunately it was not available on the brunch menu and lunch was not an available option. I should have asked for the check at that time but selected an omelette instead. While waiting and consuming my starter, I requested a menu draft to be told it was unavailable too. The suggested alternative was decent. My entree arrived about 20 minutes later. It was dry, both the eggs and protein. I was able to request and receive a sauce in a short period of time. My refill did not need to be requested but it was incorrect so I did have to ask for another. I know the staff is most likely good, the popularity produced by the Travel Channel keeps them too busy and complacency is prevalent. I had hoped that the publicity did not change the uniqueness of the menu but I will trust my intuition in the future and continue to avoid these types of restaurants.

This time we climbed to the second floor to find a table at what I would describe as the most inviting bar in the South due to the eclectic decor and the appearance of the bar itself with dozens of upside down bottles hanging from the ceiling that at first I thought they were there just to decorate the place but nooo! they actually poured the specialty bourbon we ordered which BTW was very good and was only 90 proof which was a very nice match to my Yingling, we spent about two hours there and not because the service was slow but because we were having a good time, at times was a little loud but my out of town friends truly enjoyed the kind of place, they said that next time they come to town they would like to come back to the very same table. The conversation and good times is what kept me from taking a picture of the dishes I ordered the Cajun Pasta, was absolutely delicious and will order again the next time I go back, wife ordered the Pecan pork chops and said it was made with her cravings in mind I won't be waiting for out of towners to come in order to go back, this has become my most trusted and preferred Southern restaurant in Chucktown/Summerville area, no questions and way better than any distant second best that we have been, make it 8 stars!
