Got the brisket sandwich as part of my rewards (highly recommend you sign up for their rewards and add your birthday!) and they ask you if you want a leaner/fattier cut. If your health allows, I highly recommend the fattier cut, as it is quite juicy and a bit smoky. They pack your money's worth of hot brisket into one sandwich and it remained warm and juicy after a 40 min drive back home! Sauce-wise, I recommend honey tupelo if you're into a sweet and spicy sauce. It's quite admirable how much they value their military and first responders from their walls honoring servicemen and women to their deals for military and public service personnel. They have a nice comfortable vibe with their seating area. Parking lot available. The kind and friendly ladies managing and working behind the counter at this location will treat you with excellent service. The manager (I believe) gave me the recommendation on the sauces (which she was very knowledgeable on) based on my taste.

I'd been curious about this place for a while as I frequent some of the nearby shops and saw that…read moreit was a locally owned spot in a sea of chain food establishments. If you're looking for a traditional BBQ joint, this isn't it. The concept is similar to that of a Chipotle where you choose a base and build a bowl with a variety of toppings, some BBQ related, some not so much. They do have BBQ plates if you want to go that route. I got a bowl with nacho chips and rice as a base. I added the brisket, some nacho cheese and a few other toppings. Overall the food was fine. Nothing really had a lot of flavor, but it wasn't bad at all. I tried the brisket on it's own, and it was tender, but again no flavor stuck out to me. I imagine you might be able to taste the meat better in a BBQ plate vs. the bowl. It was a good value though. I think my bowl came to $13 dollars and it was definitely a good amount of food. Good for two meals for sure. I also got a nutella cookie which was pretty good. It seemed homemade and had a lot of nutella in it. They had some bottled drinks but no soda fountain machine that I could see, which I thought was odd. The guy who took my order and put together my bowl was nice and they have a few tables for dining in. I tried to stay there and do a little work as I was waiting for my dog at the groomer, but he didn't know the password to the wifi.

He said the special was chicken parmigiana so I thought I'd try it. He brought us a very nice bread with a tasty butter and olive oil mix. I ordered the chopped salad that I absolutely loved! There were lives of cauliflower, different types of olives and a pickled red onion that wasn't over bearingly strong. The chicken parmigiana was tasty. Two patties if chicken over fettuccini. I noticed on the way out that eggplant parmigiana was also a special. I might've had that if I'd known. I will definitely come back on a Tuesday to try the eggplant. I might also come back to try their pizza. Nice place. Give it a try!!!

If you didn't know better and walked in the first time, you'd say, "This looks like a BBQ spot!" Of course, it was. Hanging a few doilies and Italian aperitif posters doesn't help. The delicate and frankly, pretty dishes are disconcerting against the rough and tumble tables and chairs place you in the wrong mindset. It just doesn't work. My Bolognese Cavatelli was very good, but my wife felt the Eggplant Parmigiana was simply a cheesy clump, the skin tough and stringy. An excellent bread service goes in the win column. Unfortunately, this was like eating quenelles and lobster on a paper plate washed down with Champagne in a plastic flute.

If we were not looking for this place specifically, I know we would've driven right past it! It's a standalone little building and the only markings I saw outside was a little sign that said BAR. But it was 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and there were several cars in the parking lot, which is a good sign. The inside is really tiny. There's a large U-shaped bar and about six tables. We looked in the menu and opted for their famous Smashburger. It is $14 and comes with fries. It is a double patty cheeseburger. I did not want a burger that big so I opted for just one Patty. They said that was no problem, but the price was still the same. I also got onion rings, which were $3 more. The food came out really fast and you could tell it came right out of the fryer because the french fries were super hot! This place is called a dive bar, and I guess it is - but on a Saturday afternoon, the place was filled with all kinds of people. On one side of us was a family with little kids. On the other side of us was a couple in their 20s. And then the rest of the place was filled with people from every age group. I have to say that the music they play there is fabulous! But back to the food. The burger was seasoned really well! It is a smash burger, but they're still able to make it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Our server was really good. She did not hover, but she was around to see if you need anything. Depending on the vibe that you're looking for, if you want more of a bar vibe, you should go in the evening, but we were happy to just be in a relaxed little joint with good food. They opened up another Crowley's in Painesville so we will probably have to try that one too.

Waited in line far too long, despite it not being nearly as busy as other places (this was at Rib Fest in Pittsburgh, BTW) and when I finally got to the head of the line the guy working behind the counter pretty much treated me as a fleeting thing and dumped a bunch of fatty meat and grease - there was literally a pool of grease in the container. Bad flavors, bad service. Terrible overall - if this place even tried to exist in a place like Austin it would be shutdown within a quarter due to competition. Nah the signs are misrepresentative of what this place has. So frustrating to go to a supposedly award winning BBQ place and it's literally the physical embodiment of a shart.
