We came here for my birthday dinner. It was a prom evening but most of the group dates were in…read moretheir way out to make it to the dance when we were getting seated. We had a larger group, about 12 (10 adults, 2 kids) and were seated at an "L" shaped table formed by pushing 2 differently shaped tables together, meaning half of our group couldn't see the other half without having to swing around or endure a cricked neck. Our server was pleasant, and attentive in the beginning. Before our appetizers had even arrived, we were already being asked for meal orders. Kinda felt rushed, but put our meal orders in and the appetizers came out. They were all very tasty, and the new pickle fries with ranch were very tasty. Would have been better if the silverware came out before the appetizers came, but maybe the wash washers were backed up from the all of the prom diners that were just leaving. Either way, we had a Second Lady bringing over silverware, so we had to wait to eat until she got there. Shortly after, our entrees arrived, also very delicious! I got the "Pick 2" BBQ items with 2 sides. One of my sides was incorrect, but the severs corrected it the mistake quickly. At this point, the entire table needed refills but the wait staff had completely disappeared for our half of the dining room. I observed other tables (like a couple in a booth kitty-corner from us) was looking around for assistance while I was. It was nearly 30 minutes before a server swung by again to get empty plates out of the way. I don't know if they were trying to get us to leave or what, but joke's on them, we still had presents and cupcakes to do! After our table was FINALLY cleared of enough played and empty cups to conclude our birthday celebration, we enjoyed our cupcakes from M Street Bakery. The wait staff didn't offer us any clean small plates so we had to have our deserts from their wrappers or off of our leftover dirty plates. Honestly, we could have asked for desert plates but we should have been offered them by the waitstaff. Our group explained in the beginning that we're would have separate checks, and when the checks came,it took multiple times for the splits to be done correctly, and one check had to be voided and a credit card transaction had to be refunded and Ran again because the wrong check was charged for the wrong items. I'm willing to give Block Brewing another shot, not on a holiday/school weekend. Maybe we had walked in after a HS dance tornado had just blown through, and everyone was just pooped. It just kinda felt like our whole group was kind of an afterthought and we were put in a corner: out of sight, out of mind.

I was out on this side of town and had to eat immediately. My stomach was growling and it was…read moregetting ugly over here. I quickly located places to eat near me, and this place came up. I've never heard of it before and saw that it just opened? Plus, it was less then a mile from where I was at, which made it much easier to decide. (Plus, I wasn't in the mood for fast food.) Pulling in, the place is in a strip mall and reasonably easy to find. There's a decent amount of seating here for up to parties of 4. You order at the counter and the menu's overhead. (it's also online.) They have fabulous lunch specials here which I got for $9.99. It's a meat of your choice (to many to list), Texas toast and one side. Plenty of side options to choose from, so I went with mac and cheese. Meal deal also comes with a drink, and fortunately they have fountain pop, which is important to me. They also have some canned options but who cares about that. LOL. I saw that they also have larger meals for up to 10 people? I think it's like $55 or something. Sounds good if you're having a gathering and need to feed people. Prices here seem fair for what you get, and they have a decent amount of options. Anyway, my food came out and it was FABULOUS. I loved my brisket. Mac and cheese was awesome as well, and the Texas toast was good as well. Portions were ample and filling. They have 2 BBQ sauces here. One's the house sauce and two others that I didn't like. I don't like the yellow looking BBQ sauce that's out on the market. I think it's a version of South Carolina's form of BBQ sauce? It's to vingerish for me. Anyway, the house specialty BBQ sauce was fantastic and really made the brisket taste even better. Overall I'm happy that this place opened. I guess there's only one other location in the country and it's in Monroe Ohio. So, if you can, drive here and check it out. You'll thank me later!

The trio with the pico and the mango salsa are average, the guacamole is not good. Guacamole seemed old, bland and out of a tube. Not worth it. The east and west coast oysters aren't too bad. The crab claws are small, but not decent. The chicken flat bread was blah, not special either. Good service at the bar, attentive.

Dad and I ordered a plate of wings to share. I got a brisket sandwich with fries, while the ancestor ordered a two meat combo with a BBQ'd half chicken and ribs. We both loved the wings. Juicy meat, crispy skin. And not too messy because they didn't overdo it with the sauce. Dad said the ribs were excellent but didn't eat the half chicken as he saved it for mom. My brisket sandwich unfortunately came out colder than Pluto. I sent it back and it was much better the second time around. The steak fries were some of the best I've had from a restaurant. I also poured out some of their sauces to try on my fries. The Bourbon sweet sauce is okay, but the house sauce has a great balance of heat and tangy flavor. The hot sauce is good if you want the heat turned up a notch. The good/mustard sauce is perfect for fries. Conclusion: Miles better than Scratch BBQ in Flint.

Took them home and gave them a rinse in hot water. It was ok. I ate them. It's the fat and protein I needed for my macros today but urg. Personal preference, I don't like BBQ sauce. It's all too sweet. Good burnt ends are incredible. Dry rub and the fat keeps the chucks juicy and flavorful. Depending on a sauce is just a short cut. IMO. The wings are fantastic. Smoky, crispy with the flavor all the way thru to the bone. I would recommend the wings. Not so much the burnt ends unless you like A LOT of sauce. There's no getting around it.
