In good faith I couldn't keep to my original 4 stars. I think 3 is about right.
As most people say it's not friendly service...at all. Which I guess I can sort of overlook, and sort of not.
2nd I like sweet tea. A lot. Normally I find 2 issues with sweet tea: 1. It's not sweet and 2. It's too sweat and your mouth just hurts tasting it. Which only really problem #2 is a big deal. However, I found a new issue with Sweet tea from this place. I don't even know what's wrong b/c my very first comment to myself as I drove away (to go order) was "Is there arsenic in this?" first of all I don't know what arsenic taste like and second of all if that's what comes to mind there is a serious issue with that sweet tea!
Food is still pretty decent, not as awesome as I remember it being (been awhile since I last went there) but I could no longer warrant my original 4 stars and for that I give a sad face. : (
I'll go along with everybody saying the guy is a dick and the food sucks. I frequent the homebrew store close to here and I thought it would be great to have a nice lunch spot so close. Two birds with one stone.
I walk in, no greeting. Dude stands at the register staring at me. I walk up and say "hey how's it going. I've never been in here before." He says "what can I get you?" No greeting or friendliness at all. Just that blank stare. I ordered a brisket combo and he says "Do you want that as a sandwich or bread on the side?" He didn't say it clearly and I thought he said "Do you want that as a sandwich with the bread on the side?" I said "sure." He lets out this sigh/eye-roll and says really slow like I'm an idiot, "Do... you... want.... that..... as...... a....... sandwich..... OR.......... the bread on the side?"
I should have just walked out. But I was hungry and honestly I was caught so off guard by his shitty attitude that I was like a deer in headlights. So I got the bread on the side and the combo with mac-n-cheese and collard greens.
The food sucked. Brisket was dry and I honestly couldn't even tell that it was smoked. It didn't have that pink smoke ring and it tasted more like pot roast than BBQ. The bread was the cheapest loaf bread money could buy. Like Walmart brand sliced white bread. The M&C was OK but came in this little cup that was literally 2 bites of it. The collards were laying in salt water and kind of cold.
While I was eating another guy came in and was asking some questions about some stuff and everything the guy said to this other customer was a smartass remark of some kind. I didn't catch it all but the customer was asking about a rib meat sandwich and he was telling the customer they don't make rib sandwiches because they have bones in them and that you can't bite into a bone. He said this a couple times to the guy almost like he was making fun of him and finally the customer raised his voice and kinda yelled, "Look man, it's common sense you don't bite into a bone. Do you think I'm stupid? I was just asking because I've never been in here and I know a place that takes the meat off the bone and makes a sandwich out of it." The guy didn't say another word to the customer, not even thank you after handing him his food.
Don't bother with this place. If you wanted to have some fun though, you could go in here and ask the guy a bunch of dumb questions and enjoy his contempt and rage.
