We patronized the Marion location for years until it closed, but never this original location. We finally took the plunge and weren't disappointed. The food was awesome and in large quantities, The service was a little lackluster but that is probably because there was only one server and she had two tables outside. One thing I found amusing was this is the first BBQ restaurant I've been to that was playing reggae and ska.
I got the pull pork sandwich and a side of Mac & Cheese. The Mac and cheese was good but the meat was really dry. Also you really had to add BBQ sauce to the meat to get seasoning/flavor. Perhaps I stopped by on an off day but it was not worth the drive to me. The waitress was nice and attentive. The person who sat us down kept using the same line for every table to get customers to buy their seasoning rub. Overall an okay experience.
It was a world-class barbecue, as always, and the service was more than fantastic. They were so friendly and welcoming and really went above and beyond, in our opinion. We had a large group with small children, and they really worked hard to make it a great experience for us. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I absolutely love the history of this place.
