Trackside Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Peabody

First timer who will return again! Arrived on a Friday night around 5:45 or so, was told it would be a 30-minute wait and it was about that, maybe a tad bit longer, so we waited outside on the sidewalk, as there was no space at the bar. But, worth the wait! There may be about 10 four-tops in the dining space and off to the side, a small bar that maybe seats 10-12?

There was a ton of tender pork underneath. The Sauce? Broth? was very tasty. It was a good amount, and it didn't really make sense until I remembered that I got a spoon, and then everything came together. It wasn't that cold outside and it wasn't...

I walk in to place and order to go and notice the place was not bust. The waiter says he will be right with me however, 15 minutes goes by and the waiter says again I will be right with you. A half hour later I am still.stamdinh there and nothing I watch him sit people down that came in after me and I still didn't have a menu to look at to order food to go.
