Let me start by saying, we've had take-out from here for a while and the first few times we loved it. I would've given it 5 stars, if it was the first time we had it. The Burnt Ends were amazing and the Spare Ribs were tender...we liked the house and sweet sauces. However, the last few times have been disappointing. The ends weren't as "burnt" as they should've been and their sides have been lackluster.
Anyway, we decided to go and dine inside the other day. We were hoping for a better meal, trying to rekindle the first few times we had it. It was okay...
First off, the staff are really friendly, the dining room is roomy and inviting. But, when we started our order, we were told they didn't have the turkey, chicken or burnt ends and no mac & cheese were ready. We arrived about 11:30ish, they open at 11, so there's no way they could already be out of that many things. Hubby really wanted the chicken (he'd had it previously and really liked it), so he wasn't happy to start with.
We both decided to get 2 Meat Plates with Brisket and Spare Ribs. I got the Candied Yams as my side...Hubby got the Corn Bread. Honestly, the best thing on my plate were the yams, they were wonderful!!! My brisket was so fatty and the ribs were okay, but not great. Hubby's brisket was definitely leaner than mine. We did order some mac & cheese once it was ready (we were finished with our food), and it was alright. Considering it was freshly made, I was expecting it to be a little better, though. And, we placed an order for burnt ends to take home. We did have to wait a bit for them and when we got home...they were so fatty and hard to eat.
My rating is based on all our orders, so decided to give it an average. I'm sure we'll try it again, because when they're good, they're really good! Hoping for some BBQ magic to come back again.
