Great place. We'll be back again and again.

Service is through the roof, definite 5 stars. Food is a solid 4 stars. Also, there's nothing else to eat in this area that's any good. (If you're willing to eat at chains, you're probably not even reading this review.) Bottom line: If you're in the area and hungry, stop reading this review, go to Baumbach's, and eat.
Now, that being said, two suggestions. One: get a couple more beers on tap. Shiner Bock is a nice Texas touch but I only saw 3 or 4 taps in the whole bar. Two: Get pecan pie. I know your desserts have pecans in them, and the rum cake is at least 4 stars, but when I eat good BBQ I want to finish with either a good pecan pie or a cheap, sloppy, shack-in-the-woods, ear-to-ear-grinning pecan pie. Doesn't matter which, but gotta have one.

Group of six of us were here on a Thursday evening in February.  It was pretty quiet and we were one of only a couple tables that evening.  I had high hopes after people told me how great it was and I was expecting a lot more out of the food.  I got pulled pork, turnip greens, and macaroni and cheese.  I like that you can put on your own sauces (they are in squeeze bottles on the table) but wish the waitress would have provided a bit more guidance.  The turnip greens were too salty and I couldn't eat more than a bite.  We also had an issue with our beers- an obviously very flat keg that they poured from and didn't seem too happy to bring us new beer when we pointed this out.  There are complimentary corn bread muffins with the meal with jalapeno jelly.  Food is ok, but nothing special.  If a group of friends wanted to come here again, I'd go but I don't think it's at the top of my list of restaurants for dinner out in Richmond.
