My wordy posts don't do them justice.) Their video of how they made shrimp had me sold immediately.) The place is nondescript on the outside. Definitely use GPS. The inside cozy, quaint and very clean. The service was ultra friendly. Although we had never visited them before, Kyle's southern charm had us feeling like we were old cousins coming to visit. Now the food ... O..... M......G!!!!!! Pimp had Pork Chops, Shrimp, Okra, and Red Beans and rice. He says the red beans and rice put Popeyes to shame. I had the chicken livers with greens, and yams. The greens were a bit spicy, but them yams be yammin'!!! LOL 5 stars on everything. (They even make cornbread like my grandma did: like pancakes in a skillet). The price was really reasonable. We could spend more on groceries and still have to cook, Food came up incredibly fast. Especially considering everything was made to order. This place will see us again and again.

The brisket was great if perhaps a little "moist" with fat. Tasty and nicely done with little sauce. The cole slaw was crunchy and tasty but a lot less mayo than I would have preferred.

J Bird Smoked Meats is easily one of my favorite barbecue spots around--and I've been a loyal fan…read morefor years. While I did feel they hit a bit of a rough patch about a year ago, I'm thrilled to say the magic is back and better than ever. The brisket? Incredibly tender with that crave-worthy bark and deep smoky flavor. The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone fantastic. The mac and cheese? Rich, creamy, and crowned with the perfect crunchy topping. Even the beans and cornbread are stars in their own right. You can tell the team has dialed things back in--attention to flavor, texture, and presentation is right where it should be. And the ambiance? Casual, welcoming, and exactly what you want from a spot serving comfort food this good. That said, I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5--not because anything was off this time, but because consistency is key. If they keep this current momentum going, I'll be happy to bump it to 5 on my next visit. So if you've been sleeping on J Bird lately, consider this your wake-up call. They're back, baby.

We did think it was odd that most of the beers were served in 10oz pours though.

The…read moremenu for this restaurant falls along the lines of an expanded bar/Bistro menu with a heavy emphasis on sandwiches, wraps and burgers. Having heard good things about their Burgers I opted to go with their Classic Cheeseburger and fries for $15 and two of their house margarita's which were the drink of the day on Tuesdays for $5 apiece. Realtive to the burger, it was quite large at 1/2 lb and definately a two hander. It was well made, quite juicy, with fresh veggies and very very tasty. The fries were well made as well with a nice crunchy texture and quite tasty in their own right. Lastly my two Margarita's very well made and oh so good where I had only planned on getting one but opted for two after the first sip. NICE! At $5 a piece this was an absolute steal! Relative to facility and staff, the restaurant is visually very appealing with vibrant Irish accents, neon sign's everywhere and TV's scattered to allow you to watch the big game of the day while enjoying your meal. The decor defiantely adds a lot to the dining experience. Staff was very friendly with great follow up throughout. Overall this is a great bar/restaurant whose reputation is well deserved. I definately will be returning in the near future, probably on a Tuesday, so I can get some more of those tasty margarita's. :)

Steamed rice was a little wet - a trivial nitpick, but as an Asian, I'm particular with my steamed white rice. Nice ambiance, kind of arcade-like with a bar.
