This place has a lot more promise than it delivers. The pork shoulder was tasty with a lot of smoke, but it was served at room temperature, so a little off-putting. The texture of the ribs was just, I don't know, weird. The homemade chips were so disappointing.

First off, given the name, we were really excited to have some yummy cornbread, our very favorite side dish for BBQ. Bad assumption.....no cornbread. Positives and negatives.... Positives: Very friendly hostess and server who explained the menu and concept. The vibe was great. The place was clean. Little helpful stuff in the restrooms. The beer was exceptionally cold and the beer selection excellent. Brisket was good and smoked turkey was excellent. All three house BBQ sauces were really yummy. Price reasonable given the labor/time intensive nature of BBQ. Negative: No Cornbread was a letdown. The menu felt a bit limited. Server was a little under-versed on the beer menu. The sides were underwhelming and tasted like concoctions of store-bought semi-prepared elements and the two slices of bread we received on the side (again...why not cornbread) were dried out and stale'ish. Bottom line, I'd give it a second chance someday when I'm in the neighborhood, but it won't be a destination stop.

Cornbred barbecue was delicious! We will be going back again, and are looking forward to trying more menu items. The meat was very juicy and smoked perfectly. Would recommend to any barbecue lovers!
