    It was good. I have nothing bad to say and nothing blew me away. Very solid for the price point, especially right off the strip.

    Our server was very attentive. We ordered the hush puppies, and both of us chose the BBQ Combo. One with Trash Ribs and pulled pork and one with Memphis style spare ribs and BBQ Chicken. The hush puppies were great. Overall the ribs were lack luster for me. I was born and raised closed to Memphis, and these definitely did not remind me of home. A bit of clean up would have gotten rid of a lot of the cartilage. I did like the sauce on them. The trash ribs, which were little riblets, were okay. The meat was tender the sauce was so so. The pulled pork and the BBQ Chicken however, were both very good! We also had a dessert drink -- Amaretto Sidecar! It was delicious. While the food wasn't as great as we'd hoped, the service, drink, and the live music were the saving graces. Wyatt Turner and Eric Torres brought us fantastic music. Glad we gave this place a try, but I'm not sure if it will be on the list for future visits for food.

    Food was great. The live guitar player was wonderful! Only complaint is that the music was WAY too loud... had to shout to talk to my dinner companions. Music in a restaurant should be background noise only. This was like attending a concert... WAY too loud for dinner conversation to take place. We might have stayed for another drink and dessert, but our ears were ringing.
