The pulled chicken wasn't my favorite, it was really fatty and it turns me off the whole meal when I bite into a piece of gristle. The sauces were so good though. My family loved the stuffed grilled cheese, I'd probably order that next time. The hushpuppies were amazing!! I could eat 6 orders of them. The interior is cute and very laid back/casual.

The rub is perfect not over powering. Meat is tender and juicy. We always order extras for leftovers for lunch the next day. My hubs is also a huge fan now. We love their creamy Mac n cheese. The service is on point. I hope they expand to other areas like Rockville and Gaithersburg. Can't wait to try their crab dip and their rum cake. They are 10x better than Misson or other chain restaurants.

The Gaithersburg location is only catering and pick up in and industrial park part of the city. We came expecting to eat there but realized this wasn't the case. The menu is different so go online and place your order for pick up. There is a picnic table outside but glad we decided not to eat there as it was just too messy. Brisket was dry in my opinion. Ribs were very good Coleslaw and Mac n cheese were both top notch. Wings were meaty and good. Cornbread was tasty but dries out quickly so eat it fast. All in all we would probably order take out from here again when we need a local bbq fix and don't want to do it ourselves.

I'll start with what I enjoyed. I did like the seating arrgements and the tables. You get to face…read morethe fire which is cooking the food and is a cool experience the first time. You do get a good var There's a good variety of meats to choose from. The spicy chicken was very tasty and had a solid kick to it, not over the top, but definitely enough to get your tongue going. The service was great too. There's almost always someone nearby ready to bring more rice or whatever you need. With that said, I can't say I fully enjoyed my visit. After the first round of cooking your meat and the initial excitement wears off, you're basically left sitting over a fire that starts to burn your eyes while you're trying to eat. The plates are also pretty small, so fitting more than two pieces of meat at a time is a struggle. Another thing that threw me off was the sauces already being on the table uncovered when we sat down. It's hard to enjoy them when you don't know how long they've been sitting there. And yeah, while the service was great, it almost felt a bit too attentive. There was always someone watching us eat, which can be a little uncomfortable. Overall, it's a cool spot to try at least once if you've never been to this type of restaurant, but with all due respect, I don't see myself coming back.

I wasn't sure if we were going to get seating on a Friday night as we could not make reservations…read more As we entered, there was a group of five people waiting for a table. But luckily for us, a tiny table fit only for two was available. It was all the way in the back! But that was totally fine. We liked our little corner. The place was definitely packed but our server never forgot about us. Back in our little corner were memorabilia from the local schools dating back to the 90's from what I can tell. It really had a nostalgic feel. To start we got the crabby rolls from the specials menu. It was more creamy than crabby. I tasted more of the cream cheese than any crab. For entrees we ordered the fish and chips and main street Madeira. The fish came in small filets that were the size of chicken tenders. Not a huge fan of the portion. The fries were soggy but glad that the coleslaw came in a lettuce pocket. At least that prevented the coleslaw liquid from seeping onto the fish and fries. The chicken madeira was fantastic. I almost never order chicken breasts fearing that it would be dry but this was not. The two breast meat was cooked in a madeira wine sauce topped with mushrooms and a mozzarella, fontina, and spinach cheese blend. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. I can taste the lovely wine. Served along the dish was red mashed potatoes. I love red mashed potatoes because it has a bit of the skin. I liked this dish a lot! Service was attentive, friendly, and fast. This place is a neighborhood gem. Not sure about parking. There was some street parking and there may be a lot next to the restaurant but from the direction that we came, we ended up parking across the street. A tricky crossing because the crosswalk was up the block.

Although we have lived in the area for a few years now, this was our first time trying. The service was friendly and very good. The outdoor seating option is nice on the sidewalk, but we dined inside. The inside is designed as a single dining room with the bar running the length of the space. There were some TVs with sports airing behind the bar. The prices were very reasonable. The food was good. The portions were large and the prices were good. I felt like the flavor was missing something with the fish and chips and the same with the zucchini side. The grouper was pretty good. The mashed potatoes were very good. Overall, it was a decent meal and maybe another visit trying different food will change my opinion for the better.

The ribs are tender and each bite is packed with the flavor. They're slathered with sauce which may be off putting to some. For me, it was that perfectly fine balance between enough and flooded. Oh and the portion size? Amazing! Definitely enough to get full for dinner. Pass out for a minute then finish the rest the next day. The Mac and cheese was great. No, these aren't hand made noodles but the amount of cheese, the seasoning, evening l everything else was done expertly. If you want to save yourself an hour or two of cooking mac and cheese at home, get it here. The atmosphere here is very home cooking. It doesn't feel like it's some massive cookie cutter operation. It's nostalgic. This is what comfort food is supposed to taste like. Eating it made me think about fun times with the family back in Florida. While I made the order online, I was greeted as soon as I walked up to the counter. My order was done exactly when it said it would be done and was made with my additional request. I couldn't it be happier and look forward to many more orders and glad to have this place in the neighborhood.
