Wow. Am I reading the reviews right? Are we even going to the same place? Went a few weeks ago to this joint on a Thursday night, and the place was dead. Football was on and there was 2 guys waiting for to go food. Not a bad sign that the food was decent. Girlfriend had the pulled chicken, and I had the tri-tip. Both sandwiches were severely lacking in any and every way. To be honest, didn't even taste like BBQ. No smoky flavor, and the food wasn't even really hot. Meat was not tender and it just seemed like a poor attempt at BBQ. I tasted both meats without the \"BBQ\" sauces and they both were lacking in flavor. I even tried a staple, the Mac and cheese as a side. This had absolutely NO FLAVOR. It seemed like they melted a few slices of value brand cheese on top of some macaroni shells. I couldn't even eat it. The pulled chicken was so bad that my girlfriend took a few bites and couldn't eat it. As far as their sauces, they were extremely watery and didn't have a good taste to them.\n\nFor what it's worth, I have worked in restaurants for over 5 years and in the restaurant industry for over 10. Currently I work at a corporate office for a restaurant chain, so I don't want to say I'm an expert or anything, but I have a decent idea of what food is supposed to be and when something lacks in flavor.\n\nTo be honest, it feels like this place seemed like it should be featured on \"Restaurant Impossible\". The decor is a mish-mosh of oddball photos, pictures, knick knacks and dust. Not that I was expecting that much from a restaurant in this complex. Hell, I don't care that much as long as you have good food. A perfect example is Mrs. White's Golden Rule. (Seriously awesome southern food downtown thats a real hole in the wall). You'd figure at the least this place would have a soda machine...but no. We decided water was the best option. They did have a water cooler that you'd find in an office that distributed water, but we both thought that was kind of odd. (Does that even pass food code?)\n\nAll in all, I don't think I'll be trying this place again in the near future. This is really disappointing since I live within walking distance. My girlfriend won't even walk foot into this place.
