We were super excited to try the Machine Shed. Heard great things about it, lots of great reviews. Waitress was fantastic. It started to get busy while we were there but she handled it like a pro. I asked if the fried chicken was any good and she said if they serve old chicken it's not good but fresh was really good. I asked her to check and she said she would make sure I got fresh fried chicken. Our dinner rolls came out and they were in the dry side so we didn't ask for more than the 2 we received. Best friend ordered the BBQ combo platter. When the food arrived, the mashed potatoes on both plates were cold and contained large lumps of undercooked potatoes in it. My coleslaw was probably the best coleslaw I ever had. Chicken was luke warm but tasted great. The corn that came with was bland. I won't even salt or pepper my food, I'm a very bland eater and it was even too bland for me. Best friend had me try her food. They use a ton of BBQ sauce so if you like a normal or light amount, you should probably specify. I suspect it is used to drown out the dryness. The combo came with 3 meats, all very dry. Chicken almost tasted boiled. The baked beans weren't very tasty and the meat thrown in was dry. We ended up leaving over half our meals and didn't take a to go box. We will definitely not be back. They serve drinks in small Mason like jars and I would suggest they upgrade to the larger Mason sized ones with handles. The waitress has to refill a million times because they aren't large and the place is too busy for that. Do the waiter/waitresses a favor and buy larger jars, they will love that. Much less running around.

Positives : clean establishment. Friendly staff. Fried chicken, although not hot, was tasty. Best coleslaw ever. Good sized portions. Very nice atmosphere.

Negatives: super dry rolls, the 3 meats were dry on the BBQ combo, the meat was dry in the beans. Beans weren't great and corn was bland. The food was an extreme disappointment.
