The 'Que Barbecue & Brew

I want to give an honest and fair review here as I understand we are still under covid restrictions to a degree. Let's start with the bad because there is more bad than good:

I ordered carryout at 6pm - was told it would be ready for pickup at 830pm. That's 2 and a half hours. Fair enough it is a holiday weekend. Arrived at 830pm and was directed away from the hostess to the BAR to pick up my food. Ok fine. Everyone behind the bar seemed more interested in serving drinks to patrons rather than fulfilling carryout orders. After giving my name to the bartender I proceeded to wait half an hour before asking about the whereabouts of my order. Had I not initiated the conversation I truly believe I would have waited much longer for my food. Thankfully the order was fulfilled shortly after 9pm - over 3 hours after the order was placed.

The food was fresh and I was pleasantly pleased with a majority of the sides. The pork fat potatoes were amazing and the fried deviled eggs and fried pickles were amazing.

However, the meat, while fresh was nearly inedible because the amount of salt made the pulled pork taste like a bottle of Morton's kosher. The brisket was mediocre. The collard greens were the exact opposite with no seasoning and anyone from the south who knows what collard greens should taste like will be very disappointed. The baked beans were mediocre. The cornbread was a delicious blend of sweet and spicy. The jalapeno sausage was the only meat that delivered an above par taste bud test.

Overall, I think the restaraunt as it stands is not handling things very well. Do I believe it will get better? Yes, the overall product is good aside from the over seasoned meats (which can be remedied) . Wait times can also be fixed.

As it stands right now - the restaraunt is very much like a new car that just hit the market. Let them work the kinks out for a few years before you go.
