I was attracted to this place because I previously had lunch in Reno at a restaurant operated by the same owners, and it was pretty good... especially the eye-poppin' gorgeous bar tender.

However, I don t see how this place in Carson City stays in business! I was seated in one of the few spots with enough light to read the menu. A menu was presented and a drink order taken. When server returned, I ordered the BBQ brisket, sauce on the side. (Still no drink.). After a while, the food arrived but no utensils to eat it with. Alas, there was no sauce on the side. All I could do was sit and let the meal cool to room temperature. After a while, the drink arrived; I requested utensils from the drink server. He apologized and promptly brought them. At last, I could eat!

Although the quality and quantity of the meat was OK, the brisket was dry and tasteless. None of the delicious smoke taste that defines BBQ. A further clue: when you drive past that place, you don t smell BBQ smoke. Too bad, it could have been good enough to negate the chaotic service and prevent me from writing this.

After the meal I complained to the seriously face pierced manager. Xe offered a refund. I explained to xim that it was not a matter of money. (I hope I am using the correct pronoun and not committing a hate crime here.)

Maybe their steaks are ok; I have not tried one yet. But the place is really dark. The managers probably think that makes it cozy and romantic. If you go there, carry a flashlight so you can read the menu and avoid the anti-BBQ.

For really good BBQ:
Holy Smoke BBQ, Bishop, CA
Rib Nest, Gardena CA
Serious Texas BBQ, Farmington NM and Durango CO.
