"I read the reviews and gave this place a shot anyways with my fiancé. We are not picky by any means. Hell I like Ramen. So we came here. We came with another couple the items on the menu sounded really good. We got our food and the enjoyable pipeline disappeared. The nachos were AWFUL. You get a watered down cheese sauce. The ribs were unbelievably dry- my fiancé said I 'm not trying to be that guy but are these always this dry? Our waitress said- that 's why we bring out the sauces. The smoker dries them out. Ok..... we 've never heard that before. BUT the Mac and cheese was THE WORST. Noodles with butter? I don 't think there was any cheese. I 'm seriously contemplating leaving a note for the chef telling him to try his food before he sends it out. Fried pickles were good the burnt ends weren 't terrible- some were dry and fatty others were good-waitress was good until the end- our friends sent the nachos back after the first bite- and ordered a quesadilla instead. She took HALF OFF the nachos- and charged for everything else. So what was sent back was supposed to be paid for. They asked the waitress is there anyway you can take that off? She came back with a new bill and said I just took it off it 's not even worth arguing over WHAT!?! No one was arguing-the food was **** and clearly not even eaten! It 's not like it was halfway through- one bite and no thank you. Oh my we will NEVER BE BACK."

The wings are AMAZING! And it smells so good in there! Sad that they are changing into a wedding venue, going to have to find a new spot now.

I love the pulled pork sandwich with the hand cut fries! Great sauces to go with your BBQ. I've been back half a dozen times, it's the same goodness every time!! View menu

I had a Groupon here and was excited to try it but when I got my food the meat in the sandwich was pure fat in the center. I'm sure if it was actually meat it would have been delicious. Worth a try again but staying away from the brisket sandwich.

Well the service was nonexistent downstairs. I called (yes on my cell the check in desk to get someone to take my order. Total of 30 ppl, maybe, upstairs and down that night. There was supposed to be a special event (fundraiser? the following FR...I never heard anything about the cause although I stopped in. There were hundreds of dancing and drinking fetuses and the noise level was deafening. Maybe 30 years ago...

This is not a review of the restaurants food because we did not stay to eat. We were politely greeted and everybody was nice but the dining restaurant area was under renovation so our only option was to eat in the bar, dance-floor area. We were looking for a more traditional dining experience so we decided to try this place after they've completed the renovation. We were treated nicely even when we told them we weren't going to stay for dinner. View menu

Tried for the first time tonight! Quite disappointed with our visit! Ordered appetizers, smoked wings and onion straws. Onion straws were out standing but wings were dry and seemed old. I had basic burger with American cheese and bacon. It came with Swiss and wilted lettuce. Size was big, took lettuce and tomato off and it was Ok. Ordered side of Mac n Cheese which I never got. My wife had brisket sandwich which was dry and burnt. She left more than half of it there. We never give only one try so we will be back to try again.

The first rule of identifying a legit BBQ joint is seeing the smoker in action when you get there. Even just the smell of a smoker is a good sign. Unfortunately, there is no smoker in sight and the BBQ shows it. We ordered the platter for two. The pork and brisket were both so shredded and dry that it resembled the beef jerky that comes in a can to look like fake chew that I used to get as a kid. The chicken breast was sliced very thin and was borderline inedible. It was extremely dry and flavorless. The ribs had little texture (reminded me more of oven ribs) and burnt. The wings were good but again no smoke to them. The sausages looked like the hotdog that gets forgotten on the grill at a f...

"So, first I 'd like to say that we first discovered this place a couple of weeks ago. We had lunch, and it was lovely. Food was great. Waitress was even better. So, we thought... let 's take our son there for his 21st birthday. We made reservations. The system even asked if there was a special occasion, so I added that it was our son 's birthday. Not that we expected anything really in return, but again the system did ask. We get there, and just like before the ambiance was great. Everything seemed ok, until we met our waiter. He wasn 't very personable at all. I asked if by chance they would let me order a BLT off the lunch menu, and he responded with I ll ask, but I can tell you they probably won 't let you . I wasn 't going to be bothered if they said no; I just did not like his response. My husband and I both ended up ordering the fish and chips. The fish looked crispy, but it was anything but. The meal was ruined for me at that point. My daughter ordered the bacon bbq burger, and it was $17. My son ordered just a normal burger but asked for bacon. They charged $17 but added an additional $4 for bacon. lol Make that make sense. Both of the kids ' meals were upcharged an additional $4 for fries, I know stuff is pricey these days, so I just had to chuckle. Never once did our waiter come and ask us how our food was, and they were not busy at all. Lastly, why was I asked if we were celebrating a special occasion? Nobody even as mentioned a Happy Birthday. In all, it wasn 't a great night. If we go back, it would probably just be for lunch, and hopefully the waitress that was so great the first time we went, will be there again."
