Was part of a *large* group of wheelchair users. Staff did their best, but it was too small to accomodate us well. Food was fantastic but the music was *far* too loud for conversation. I didn't test the washroom for accessibility. Wheelchair accessibility: The ramp into the restaurant was in good shape. Too small to accomodate large groups of people in wheelchairs. I didn't test out the washroom.

$47 (before tip) for a brisket with cold beans, corn bread, and a ramekin of slaw with pickles and a cider (*April 23). Staff did their best. It was late (within an hour of kitchen closing) but wow Meat was decent. Sauce forgettable. Beans were disgustingly cold. Corn bread was lukewarm. Staff was apologetic and tried, so no hate their way. Sad because I want to like this place with their dog-friendly patio and whatnot. Maybe this is how it is now in 2023?

If you like a very loud, sports type of place.. only because there were a projection TV's viewable from anywhere.. not that you could hear anything.. and beer this might be your home.. but don't go here expecting good food.. or even service, PS everyone I did speak with were great people.. they had a hostess, no issues, found us a table.. great.. then advised there isn't service.. scan the QR on the table to get to app, PS: App is a Web page, sorry, is bad enough programs, now called apps, now web sites are being called Apps.. ok.. sad uneducated culture.. yes I'm older.. and as such am well aware of good food.. I tired the brisket, honestly it was decent.. but very easily could of been a precooked slice of meat.. which I suspect from the way it was plated vs every smoke house I have been too.. never been served brisket with sauce all over it.. always on the side.. and sides well fries were the basic choice so figured since its their prime sell must be good.. I was wrong.. they very much were frozen fries, with seasoning sprinkled on them.. but very definitely frozen taste to them.. coleslaw was ok.. and best part of the brisket was the pickled onion/pepper mix I found .. My dinner partner tried the Nashville Chicken, again with fries.. The chicken chunks seemed near burnt on the coating.. honestly I suspect this wasn't fresh either.. she ate about 1/2 of the chicken and wanted to throw up, only ate a few the fries, to share I had ordered the Cauliflower wings, which I had no idea what they would be, that was another ahh no thanks... just not impressive.. doesn't appear other than beer anything is "made" here.. I'll stick to places I know that actually make good fresh food. PS: I almost gave up on that horrible web site the navigation was the worst I had even seen yet.. always amazes me how todays programmers are so bad at making useful web sites.. but I managed to complete an order just forgot to order a free glass of water which I was told would be brought to me and never arrived.. would helped wash the swill down.. Kudo's to the one staff member who when asking us what we thought was told about the bad chicken.. which we didn't want to wait for a redo.. walked over an gave us a 4pk of beer.. thanks.. I have a friend who will drink that.. since neither one of us are really drinkers..
