Quaint ambiance. Phenomenal wait staff. Very courteous, attentive and helpful. The brisket plate was just so-so. Not as tender and juicy as I like. Veggies/sides: I grew up with flour-dredged fried okra; theirs is cornmeal breaded. It was good, and I understand that's the way they do it up here, but it seemed to have sat out a while, because it was just lukewarm. Same with the Mac-n-Cheese. Not creamy, just dry and rather flavorless. Everything to me was just okay. Kind of bland compared to other BBQ I've had. And don't come if you like a nice, cold beer with your BBQ, because they don't serve beer. My dining mate liked his pulled pork and baked beans, but he likewise thought the brisket was not ideal. Honestly though, the staff was what 'made' this place. Oh - but if you like a lot a garlic, ask for the garlic salad. It's divine, and you can buy a jar of it as you leave! If you like spicy, hot BBQ sauce, ask for some - they don't keep it out, but they have it, and it is DELICIOUS!!
