"Okay so tonight we chose a new barbecue restaurant in hopes to really find a great spot.
So let’s begin the critiquing..
Corn nuggets- very tasty, taste them a high 8
Corn on the cob, couldn’t have been fresh must have been frozen; it was a little chewy, I rate the corn a low 5
I ordered the 1/2 baby back ribs, 1/4 chicken with sweet potato & corn bread..
Ribs were FANTASTIC, I rate them a very high 10 ( better than Okeechobee steak house)
Smoked Chicken was very dry, I rate the chicken a high 6 because it did have great flavor even if it was dry.
Cornbread; under baked, sweet potato is a sweet potato.
My husband ordered the Baby Backs and the smoked Brisket; both were FANTABULOUSLY DELICIOUS; I rate those a very high 10; as you know I had to try his brisket.
Waitress her name was Brandi, her customer service was the BEST, she’s was so attentive and thorough and because of her I would definitely come back.
I believe this spot you must try….. I know my critique is long but you must know what you’re getting into before arriving….
We will be back to try other items on this menu….
Nice touch you are given a complimentary ice cream cone when you leave❤️"
