Ordered takeout, and well I'm just not an idiot. The very nature of BBQ means, by default, that it is not made "to order", it's BBQ....smoked, braised, roasted, broiled etc, what have you, all EXTENDED cooking processes that fine bbq (IMO, BBQ is Michelin level) of this type REQUIRE. And that's the basic jist leading directly to my entire point. There are aging, prep and resting processes, as well as others, that if implemented, would further the time block of start to finish....etc, etc. THE POINT, is I ordered brisket, pulled pork, slaw and beans. Ive worked in or around food service of some degree practically my entire adult life-and I'm old like grossly pushing 50 (grrrrrrr). Everything I ordered was, at Best, yesterdays batch. WHICH, would be fine and expected, not the issue. The first issue was that it took 40 minutes from order to pick up, never notified either, I just got tired of listening to my stomach scream at me and went in. 2 tables of 2 diners each when I picked up. No other orders waiting to be picked up (that I saw) nor did I see anyone waiting in their cars outside ...possibly to also pick up. THE WORST PART THOUGH, this was not great BBQ, not like I remember years ago at Prospector's. I regularly consume quality BBQ, idc where I have to drive to get it. No exaggeration, zero. zilch. PG-13: This was disappointing. Truth: it severely pissed me off, HOW do you make mediocre BBQ?! Even the sauce was just not what I was expecting, the slaw was flat -almost no flavor, BEANS WERE GREAT, And the inside of their restaurant was IMMACULATE, perfectly decorated and clean as a whistle. I'll give them all of that, but I'm sorry, the bbq-and the sides I chose weren't worthy BBQ to me. I wished very much this had not been my experience. I miss Clems.

Very expensive and was disappointed with the food I had. Ordered the beef brisket and Mac and cheese. Brisket just ok but a bit fatty. Mac and cheese was pasty and tasteless. For the money it was not worth it.

Ordered the 3 meat combo, the brisket was super dry, pulled chicken and pork was okay. The coleslaw had a strange taste to it, and the cucumber/tomatoes salad looked like it was a week old. Dry corn bread and the bbq sauce tasted store bought. Not impressed at all.
