Netflix sure does a good job to market American barbecue - where smokehouses have popped up recently in the 852.Decided to pay this place a visit after learning that they offered a nice Thanksgiving lunch. Booked for a 1:45pm lunch and wasn't seated till 2:15pm caused a bit of a let down, we weren't really offered to start drinking at the bar, just really stand around and wait as they struggled to usher their diners out of their (or soon to be ours) table.Our seating were at the back of the hou
Decided to pay this place a visit after learning that they offered a nice Thanksgiving lunch. Booked for a 1:45pm lunch and wasn't seated till 2:15pm caused a bit of a let down, we weren't really offered to start drinking at the bar, just really stand around and wait as they struggled to usher their diners out of their (or soon to be ours) table.
Our seating were at the back of the house so flagging down wait staff proved a bit difficult - although to be fair they seemed rather busy.
If you expected a nice southern-Texas/American welcome then this place surely won't be giving you that - but is on par with the average Hong Kong hospitality standards.
The menu comprised of 3 small starters which were a bit difficult to share but nonetheless quite tasty: a fresh mozzarella salad, smoked meats/sourdough and slow cooked beans. The main we chose were the barbecue meat platter - which was rather underwhelming with similar texture/flavours across the 3 different 'meats' which felt very similar. However the mac & cheese was definitely a big hit and the smokey bbq sauce really hit the spot as well. The deserts were surprisingly the winner, apple crumble/soft serve and beignets was something that everyone agreed was the real MVP in the meal.
But I would say this place replicated the visual Netflix experience of juicy smoked meats. Overall the experience was slightly above average from a food perspective, but I did have a high expectation - which it clearly did not deliver to.
