My third visit here and I definitely feel it is a solid 4 for food, but 5 for service, and back to a 4 for ambiance. The service has been great each time, but they always fall just a little short on food. I don't mean it's bad, just that it could be better.
We had a couple of Old Fashions to start; they were well made. House bourbon is old Forrester so we upgraded to Woodford for a couple of we bucks. They have a decent selection and very reasonable prices on their bourbons .
The fried pimento cheese was very tasty but over fried. I will say our server noticed this and offered to bring us another dish. We declined, it wasn't so over cooked you couldn't eat it, just extra crunchy.
Next was the brisket pizza, definitely won't have this again. The brisket was shaved so thin that it got very dry when the pizza was cooked. And the barbecue sauce is extremely sweet, it actually doesn't taste like barbecue sauce at all. The pizzas are a great size, and we had plenty of leftovers. I'll just try a different one next time.
My date had two of the sliders. The brisket, and the bacon blue burger. Good taste, but the meat on both was very dry. The burger was way overcooked.
The flavors were good, but the kitchen is falling down on the final product .
As I said, service was excellent. We were greeted as soon as we sat down. Not intrusive, and just the right amount of attention to ensure that we had everything we needed, and were enjoying ourselves.
As far as ambience, it feels like you are sitting in a fast food place. It's loud due to the concrete floors and high ceilings. I don't understand why it has to be soooooo bright! No sense of intimacy at all, even in a booth. The tables are worse, they look like they belong in a cafeteria.
This place has so much potential if they would only step up their game. I have never sat in the bar, but it always looks busy and there are several large televisions with different sporting events on.
Great location, very reasonable prices, and a solid bourbon list.
