I’m a local resident and have been to this CB location several times. The most recent visit was 2/28. Each time I have gone the service has been great, from the person that takes my order to the person that buses the table. This even includes when they are busy and all tables are full.
We came as a tour-planned lunch buffet for a group of 40. Menu was Baked Beans, brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, coleslaw slaw and drinks. The food in the buffet was hot and kept full. The BBQ was classic Memphis dry rub with sauce on the side. Sauce was a hot and a mild. Both were savory, not sweet. The mild had a little zip.
As a buffet, it was all-you-care-to-eat.
After the meal I had a chance to talk with Dutch, the chef. I do a lot of smoking and BBQ...
Great BBQ. Pulled pork is great and the jerked chicken wings are out of this world. Sauces are also really good. I like some heat, so I mix the original sauce with the hotter sauce. Perfect amount of spice for me.
