I am not sure of the hype.After this restaurant was shown on food network, it's popularity blew up.The food is just okay, but the lines make it all just not worth the wait.You'll have to book wayyy in advance to get a seat. It's in a great location and nice setting just not worth it unless you have a few hours to kill.

Found this place on the internet and thought we would give it a try and were very happy. The atmosphere is casual and fun with a centrally located bar. We had to wait about 30 minutes on a Sunday night. The bar has a good selection of beers on tap. And the BBQ is really, really good. My brisket was deliciously moist, flavorful and had great marbling. My friend had the St. Louis ribs and liked them too. And then the sides (cole slaw, mac/cheese, green beans) really topped off the meal to make it great! Also liked the selection of bbq sauces on each table. If they would add more seating, then I would give it 5 stars.

Great BBQ and the mac n cheese is the best on the planet

Mac and Cheese is really really good. As a vegetarian, I wouldn't have tried the BBQ dishes, but the Hoppin Jack is perfect for those that are. Enjoy!
