This place is recently opened, and there is another well-liked location (which I've not been to), so I hope this was a one-off, but this was a terrible experience for our group.The wait for a table was long, but not unbearable. But we did notice people waiting for a long time even after tables had been cleared. The service was really bad. One member of our group ordered a Bloody Mary from the bar, which ended up being very strong. Like too strong for a heavy drinker, but he got through it. When he ordered a refill he got a glass with just straight vodka. It was in the same glass, because you could see the remnants of mixer in the bottom of the glass, but there was NO new mixer in with it. As for the food served, one member got the wrong meat for his sandwich, and all but one of us got the wrong sides. One had ribs that had a great taste, but were dry. One's brisket was overdone. My brisket sandwich was okay but not great (on the dry side) -- and then I got to the aluminum foil within the meat. It wasn't a tiny piece of foil either. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. For our troubles with an inedible sandwich we were given a coupon for free onion rings at a future visit. There will be no future visit. If it were just an issue with the server it would be one thing, but the food was not only mostly overcooked, but contained foreign objects. I hate to bag on a new place, but this was truly terrible. I don't leave a lot of negative reviews either, so consider that.

I love their Tuesday special. baked potatoe w shredded pork. it's a meal in itself. I usually get carry out. but service has always been good. just wish I could get that tater anyday. had the nachos for last dine in. the half order was huge! their pickles are bomb....spicy, but bomb. I've had them cater for work and was perfect.
