Food: Exorbitantly priced blandness
This so-called BBQ joint manages to thwart your taste buds with dry, flavorless meat; to add to the torment, the questionable freshness of some cuts and stale buffet items are utterly disconcerting. The pricing matches high-end spots, but the food quality is a sad, far cry. On a positive note, the variety is decent with a diverse menu that may soothe some souls.
Great Variety
Diverse menu options cater to all, ensuring a satisfying experience.
Bad Value
Price similar to high-end spots but food quality doesn't match.
