Ambience - pit BBQ vibes with concrete floors and spacious industrial warehouse feel. Servers and hostess were super friendly. Food - Cornbread - we received some complimentary cornbread, which were cut into small squares. Served cold. 3/5 Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese - the promise of smoked Gouda had my hopes up, but the flavor was lacking 3/5 St Louis Ribs - I asked for ribs with Memphis style dry rub. The flavor was fantastic, but could have been a little more tender. Still, a really good rib. 4/5 Brisket - I was offered Lean, Regular or Fatty. I asked for fatty and received two slices which were half fat. Makes me wonder what I would have gotten if I ordered "Fatty". Regardless,the brisket was a little underseasoned. Fried Clam Strips - the order came out overcooked and burned. The server was nice enough to get a new one for me. 4/5

Tl;dr - alcoholic management/ownership needs to go…read more Small order at the bar type place. Good wings with a lot of flavor. Cold beer. Fair prices. What earned the single star review was the owner on the drinking side of the bar who couldn't handle that we were in there. We(me and my two coworkers) came in to enjoy what meal we could find at 11pm on a Monday night. While my coworkers and myself had a conversation about wings, the many ways they are cooked, flavors, temperatures, and the lot, he stood there with his hand on his face apparently "holding himself back" from contradicting everything we were talking about. When one of the coworkers ended up asking how long the food was gonna take after sitting for about 20 mins after ordering. Instead of casually and kindly informing him that they take a while due to their cooking processes, or even having the staff inform us of this apparently common delay prior to placing the order, he responded like a child with discuss through saying "we can give them to you raw?". While he wasn't incorrect, he lacked tact that you could find nearly anywhere else in the world and with the entitlement of a petty little snowflake. We were fortunate enough that the bartender was able to drown this alcoholic further with his vice quickly enough that he was distracted by the pool table and ended up leaving us alone. It was the interactions with the others that caused him to bellow, boast, and brag that he was the owner of the establishment, otherwise, we just assumed he was the Walmart neighborhood drunk. I travel to this town frequently and I will be avoiding this place. If you are a traveler, I suggest the same.

It was wing night so naturally I ordered wings. The wings don't seem to be breaded so that's good for me. Some people like breaded they have boneless.

It's busy so, if you're planning on calling to try and do a pick up order or make a reservation ? You might be better off just showing up and getting the vibe .
