    We went at lunch and it was very good. I had a "lite lunch" plate, pork bbq, vinegar slaw (they have both vingegar & mayo based), gumbo and the baked beans w/brisket. The gumbo was good, but its not gumbo that you would be expecting. It's very thick, and they use their own smoked meats in it, so it gives it a different taste. Everyone was super friendly, very attentive, the woman at the door was great to explain the menu options to expedite the ordering process when you got to the register since the line was a little long. If you get fries for a side item, its enough for 2 people, its huge. I tried a hush puppy, they were good, just a little onion flavor in them. The sweet city bbq sauce was really good on the bbq. They have thick bbq sauces in sweet & hot, and vinegar based sauces too, all at a bar for "fixin's". I will try the brisket next, it looked really really good!! All you have to do is drive over there and you can smell it, and the wonderful smell with suck you in!

    We went for dinner Friday. Food was good. It was packed! I would say wait a few weeks for the herd to die down or order to go. I got the Cowbell brisket sandwich, i thought it was very good. I would avoid the ribs as I found them chewy. It seemed like they were cooked too fast and could use more rub on them. The bbq and the brisket were great as we all shared what we ordered. I think the dining room might need a little tweaking over time as the tables were a little small for all the various plates that come with the order and it was difficult to walk around seated tables. All that said, it was a great buy for the money and we will definitely return!

    I appreciate you coming, and as far as the ribs, they are not cooked fast. But slow smoked. The ribs are not fall off the bone like many advertise, and not meant to be. Grilling will cause them to fall off the bone because of the process of direct heat, smoking creates indirect heat and thus a "tougher" bite. The way my boss describes it is, "eat the ribs like you would corn on the cob, leave teeth marks on the bone."
    I can't speak for your experience as I wasn't there Friday, but the line has died down during the week, though at times it will be out the door. Last night we were busy, but tables were readily available. Weekends will be busy just like any other restaurant.
    I agree the tables are small, and I would rather see a rectangular tray rather than the round one. But you don't have to keep it on your table. Flag down anyone with city BBQ and we'll gladly help clear some room.


    And don't forget, Tuesdays are rib bone Tuesday. Bones for $1.25 each. Try one by asking for a sample, then order as many as you like.

    Had dinner there last night - Lo Lo’s Pulled Pork w/ Slaw. Very good! Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! (Thumbs up on the cobbler for dessert also.) :cool:

    If I knew who you were, I would've said hi.

    Probably said something to you in some aspect last night. I was on call in-web orders last night but bounced around a lot.
    So who's going to come see me tonight? Ask for George.

    Tried them out this week. Was pretty good overall. The ribs were definitely under cooked and it's a bit pricey.
