I've seen a lot of bad reviews about this place. So I have not been breaking my leg to get here and…read moreevery time I pass by it is empty but I had it on my list so it is what it is when I came in parking lot completely empty as usual. But here we go.It looked clean enough, so I know that wasn't the problem. I don't eat pork or beef, so I'm always limited on the barbecue. I ordered the quesadillas and what I believe was a brisket (4 my friend) sandwich and the pictures of the macaroni looks like trash and I'm here to verify it is. Absolutely no flavor. It tastes like kids in the third grade home economics made it. Your collard greens and macaroni has to be good in a barbecue joint. Come on, man. The sandwich and the quesadillas were freaking excellent. I also enjoyed the wings. The food was very, very good and of course came fast. We had a pretty good server at the bar.\nI honestly think I'm coming back.I have barbecue heads in my family and they are not as pricey as other barbecue spots, I've been to. My food was pretty good. Come check them out and make sure you come soon. Based on the numbers they won't be here next year. I'm not being negative. I think Wes Ashley it is so hard to keep a restaurant in west Ashley. I just found out Mrs roses is closed. They always had good food and a nice bar, I do not understand what Wes Ashley. People are into. A lot of nice spots are closed down.But you still have captain dee's open, go figure, it's pretty strange over here.I guess everyone around here either.Goes to magnolia road or downtown.

The texture was fine, but the flavor of the sauce was too sweet for me. It did come with a unique square of cornbread, which was really moist and good. - I ordered the wings because they needed the dressing. They came along with it to make the flavor profile. I wasn't a fan of them without the dressing. They were also a little dry. I would give them a 3 out of 5. - The appetizer, the cornbread itself, had a nice butter topping for it. The cornbread seemed to have corn bits in it, which were chewy, but the cornbread was also dry, so I'd have to give it a 2 out of 5. - The empanadas themselves were cooked a little long, but the filling was really good. The flavors of the corn and everything together made it a 5 out of 5. They were a little pricey for two empanadas, but it was the star of the meal. I would definitely say the empanadas are a 4 out of 5 only because of the quantity that you get for the price. - The mocktail that they made was super sour. It needed some simple syrup to tone it down, but flavor-wise, it was good. I would have to give the entire experience a 3 out of 5.

I realized a cocktail had pineapples in it (I'm allergic) and our waiter immediately took it back and found an alternative mix for me. We went on a Saturday night so it was pretty loud but overall we were able to get seated rather quickly. The only part of my meal I wasn't a fan of was the potato salad. It's not traditional potato salad. More like a mashed baked potato. It was based in sour cream which wasn't my thing. But overall delicious

You order, they plate it, you pay and either take it to go or to sit in the small dining area. Service is very quick and efficient, and you can tell there are a lot of regulars who come here because the staff joked and laughed with them as they waited in line. Speaking of the line, it moved fast but while we were there a woman came around with a tray and offered little cups of brightly colored something. I chose red and was delighted to see it was a frozen punch, red is cherry. My friend got orange and he said it was like a mango or peach flavor. I ordered the fried chicken, with cabbage and red rice. The cabbage was absolute fire, it was so tender and delicious. The red rice was good, but a bit on the dry side. I feel like had I been there when a fresh pan was brought out it would have been a lot better. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and had a flaky crust but it needed salt and the tables did not provide any. I would come back, there are so many other things I would love to try and this place is busy for a reason.

The founder dinner was seasoned well and paired well with a little hot sauce. If you get the dinner, it comes with 3 sides. You can get 2 sides if you get the smaller option, which may be good if you don't have as big an appetite. I got the dinner because my eyes were bigger than my stomach but zero regrets because the green beans, Mac & cheese, and baked beans were so good! I would mention that the food is cooked to order so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get your food, whether that's to go or if you stay in the restaurant. You can sit inside at any of the high top tables or outside if the weather is nice. I definitely plan to be back the next time I'm in town!

They care about the customers, and you feel it when you talk to them. They struggled during a heavy rush. Orders backed up, attention to detail slipped, and my food was delayed longer than it should have been. It's clear they need more structure and support during busy periods. Even so, the staff stayed kind, and their attitude makes you want them to succeed. They have the core elements of a great spot, good food and good people. With tighter execution during peak hours, they could turn into something special.
