This was my first time here. Everything was GOOD!!! It definitely meet my expectations!!! We ordered starters not knowing the order would be filled in a matter of minutes. We ordered the meal that included the ribs,brisket,and the pulled pork. IT WAS ALL DELICIOUS!!! Whatever you order will be GREAT!!! Shout out to Chef Michael Symon and staff. Most chef started restaurants don't maintain the original standards set when opened.

The sides portion sure have got small. The Wilbur beans you only get like 5 spoon fulls now. It's bad when you have pictures on the wall of what the portion size used to be, and when you actually get them, they are half the size they used to be. But the food was good as usual.
