    Usually good service but this time around the hostess was pretty moody and had a terrible attitude. Our waiter nice guy but only saw him every 20 minutes. I get it since it’s Christmas Eve. We left early since the service was not good anyway. Oh well we will try again another time later next year.

    I've been here a few times and it never fails to deliver good food and service. There was a small problem with the order but the server resolved it immediately. Reservations definitely help.

    Great BBQ, service was good not as attentive as we’d like. Bar was a little slow with serving drinks. Overall great ambience and experience and most importantly the food was great.

    Everything was fantastic, as usual. You can't best their brisket and jalapeño grits. First time having the cornbread, and I thought was mediocre at best.

    The servings have gotten much smaller. It’s just too much $ for what you get.
