text: I heard from a friend that this place was the best BBQ joint in the burgh so of course I had to try it When I looked at the menu online I noticed how insanely expensive everything was so I waited it out And what do you know They went on groupon Woo nnWe came here around pm on a Thursday night the place was not very busy The have four rather long picnic style tables that fill the dinning area on the first floor pretty awesome and set the mood for some BBQ There were also minimal decorations and no tv in sight which I loved the boyfriend did not There was a party going on upstairs and the staff seemed pretty busy running up and down the stairs nnWe were served water and it took about eight minutes before a server came to the table I ordered the heirloom tomato salad coleslaw Mac and cheese and half a rack of ribs The boyfriend got baked beans potato salad and their brisket sandwich We waited minutes for the food Having said that they seemed very busy with the upstairs party and short staffed nnThe food was delicious I loved the coleslaw slightly vinegary but with just the right amount of sweetness and there were little red onions in it I love red onions nnThe Mac and cheese was not anything spectacular but it was pretty awesome as well cheesy gooey goodness nnThe heirloom tomato salad was pretty good cucumbers fresh herbs red onions and yellow green and red heirlooms Nothing special but refreshing amongst all of the starches and fatty foods that were in front of me haha nThe ribs had a crust on them like I have never seen before which I loved But they did not fall apart in the way that I had hoped they would My boyfriend said they were the best ribs he has ever had I think they were average especially after experiencing cowboy BBQ at rib fest this past weekend nnThe baked beans were very different I honestly cannot decide if I love them or not They had such a unique smoky type flavor that I never had in baked beans before Again the boyfriend said they were the best baked beans he has ever had nnThe potato salad was good mustard based with small scallions and dill Nothing super crazy nnThe beef brisket sandwich was amazing mustard red onions and brisket but that is all that was necessary My boyfriend added coleslaw to the sandwich which was super tasty too nnOverall minus one star for the overpriced menu for worth of food the groupon was the way to go And minus one star for the longer wait for food It was absolutely not the staffs fault they were running around like crazy the staff was awesome and very friendly Despite not receiving stars I would still return with maybe more people to split the food We did not finish any of the sides and definitely could have split them with more people Overall good experience
