Not that great

The food was okay and edible, but I don't know why most of the reviews are so positive. I like the decor of the restaurant. It is fun and cute. I've eaten their food twice. The first time it was forgettable and we didn't go back again for a year. Then after reading all the postiive reviews we decided to try it again. But the ribs were dry, cornbread bry and burnt, chicken bland, greens yucky and sour, mac 'n cheese just okay, beans okay. I wouldn't go back here. I'm not really a BBQ connossieur but off the top of my head I like Brother-in-Laws in SF better. And I like Armadillo Willie's down in San Mateo.


Hit or miss

We ordered a big assortment of BBQ goodies for my niece's birthday party. They seem to have a few styles of BBQ (like Texas brisket, St Louis ribs, a Memphis-style pulled pork). We ended up getting the beef ribs, smoked chicken, the pulled pork, and smoked turkey, as well as the collard greens, beans, cornbread, and slaw for sides.

The results were mixed. My favorite was the pulled pork. The meat was tender and juicy, and I liked the tangy sauce with a hint of honey mustard. They also have a devilishly hot sauce that sneaks up on you before going in for the kill. It's tasty, but it buries the flavor of anything you dip in it.

I wasn't crazy about most of the other meats. The beef ribs weren't tough, but they weren't fall-apart tender either, and they didn't seem very seasoned with either a dry rub or sauce. I think you're meant to dip them in BBQ sauce, but I didn't like their rib sauce much. I think it was heavy on cloves, which I found interesting, but overpowering and distracting.

The poultry items were both on the dry side, and again not very well-seasoned. I didn't taste much smoke in them either.

My reaction to the sides were mixed also. The collards were a bit sour for my taste. The cornbread was a bit dry, and had bits of hard cornmeal studded throughout them. I liked their light, spicy, mayo-less cole slaw; it actually reminds me of Chinese pickled cabbage.

So it could have been better, could have been worse. I'd like to try their beef brisket which seems to be quite popular.
