   The Sampler plate was perfect to try their different meats and sides. The Ribs were tasty where I didn't need to add any BBQ sauce (that's very unlike me). The Mac & Cheese was delicious and flavorful. The sweet potato casserole was wonderful and could have doubled as a dessert dish. Can't wait to come back to try their Smoked Dinosaur Beef Rib!

   We had a reservation for a standard table. We were seated in the bar area, on a high top, right next to the ax throwing cage. The food took forever also. We’ve been there many times but very disappointed with this visit. May not be going back soon.

   I’ve been here before and really enjoyed my experience, but our last visit left something to be desired. Our friend ordered a half rack of spare ribs, they were tough and dry. She sent them back but the second order wasn’t much better. We also ordered a salad with brisket. The salad came in a very small bowl, which allowed the toppings to spill everywhere. I asked a runner if I could get a larger bowl like the one our other guest had for her chicken tenders meal. He told me they use those bowls for other dishes and wouldn’t be able to get me one. He gave me a “to-go” bowl which wasn’t much better. Really, providing a clean bowl for a meal you just ordered was too much? On a positive note, my wife’s chicken sandwich was very good as was her friend’s chicken tender meal and as usual the BBQ sauces were exceptional. But our over-all experience was less then satisfactory. Our server was very polite and apologetic. Even though he removed the cost of the rib dinner, the price of our meal with tax and tip was about $95. We didn’t order drinks or apps, so the cost to value just wasn’t there. Which is disappointing because we go there every time we attend an event at the Honda Center. Maybe it’s time to give another restaurant in the area a try.

   Reservation was at 6PM - Showed up at 5:50. Waited until 6:30PM without being seated. So we left.

    Service was very slow all night. We constantly had to flag our server, Cristal down.
