This place is a local favorite and is loved by the community and the staff. The staff have pictures of themselfs shot by the owner which shows a great deal of support from the owner. Our waiter said that he had worked there for about 5 years which to me means he is dedicated. So needless to say our waiter knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to introduce us to the menu and help us select some of the local favorites. He also made me an "Arnold Palmer" even thou it wasn't on the menu and it was excellent.
Now comes the bad news. Even tho the wait staff was excellent and the decor made you feel like you were in an old American antique shop (Which was fun to look around) the food was just ok. I ordered the pulled pork and it was dry, the BBQ sauces were just ok and they had three to select from. The Chicken was also dry but now as much as the pork. My son had the grilled cheese and he actually ate it, and I say that because he's a picky eater. I expected better from this establishment because it looked and smelt like BBQ, there was even a huge smoker in the parking lot at the front door so I was hopeful from the beginning. But that wasn't the worse part, the Mac and cheese was the worse I have ever had. It wasn't cheesy or creamy. The noodles were soft but the cream was gridy and the cheese wasn't melty but stiff like kraft cheese gets when it cools. I told waiter about the cheese separation which causes the gridy texture but he said that's how they made there. So pushed it to the side and continued my meal.
In the end I had a good experience and was really impressed by the respect and love by the staff for the restaurant. But since I have to judge the food in this review I'll have to leave it with a 3 star on just the food alone and a 5 star on the waiter.
