This place seems to get a lot of positive reviews so we decided to give it a try. I was really in the mood for brisket... but apparently that is not a menu mainstay and only offered one day a week... go figure. I ordered the special Cubana pulled pork and smoked chicken with potato salad and macaroni and cheese. My girlfriend chose the fried catfish with potato salad and rice beans. My chicken was so dry it wasn't even edible... definitely wasn't juicy or flavorful as you would expect smoked chicken to be. It tasted like an unseasoned chicken breast that was cooked some days ago and reheated. The pulled pork was also pretty dry and had only slightly more flavor than the chicken which wasn't saying much. Both had some strange colored sauce squirted over it which didn't add any redeeming qualities to either dish. The mac and cheese again was dry and tasted as if it had been reheated in a microwave... I never did get the potato salad as they served me what I believe was a pork chili instead... but it was more like a soup. No chili consistency whatsoever. My girlfriend seemed to enjoy her catfish and said it was good but she also disliked both her sides. Very disappointing. I was hoping that I would really enjoy this place but what a waste of money- I ended up tossing half of it...

I don't know where to start on how much I love this place. I have been working locally in Southportland for 4 years yet sadly just discovered this restaurant this year. First time I came into the restaurant while in line a nice gentlemen came up asked if I had been here before after I replied that I haven't, he really impressed me with just his overall happiness that I was their and his passion for what they are doing, with new specials and sides all of the time , smoked meats everyday ect.. Now to make a long story short the food is absolutely amazing, I always get something different and I have never had a bad meal. The prices are also fantastic. Right now I'm eating the "shrimp moe boy" which is a fried shrimp sandwich with coleslaw, with a side of skillet corn and mocha pie... I paid less than 10$ for this meal, I usually pay more going to a crappy fast food restaurant, but to get fresh food for less money than I usually pay for lunch, extremely impressive. So to break it down: Food taste, freshness and all around variety is above and beyond, the restaurant is clean, prices are fantastic, and some of the best service i've had in a long time. Absolutely impressed with this place, would 100% recommend to anyone who is...
