The brisket was amazing as was the mac and cheese side. The ribs were mediocre and the chipotle vegetables and coleslaw were disappointing. The fried pickles were decent but not unique. Overall, as BBQ goes, it was an average experience and as a result, over priced for the quality of food and service.

A couple of nice craft cocktails and the delicious cornbread to start. We then shared the mixed BBQ plate. All three meats were nicely cooked, tender, good smoke. The ribs bit off the bone in competition style. The brisket melted in your mouth. The pulled pork nicely done. They need to expand the sauce options. The one they provide is a bit sweet for me. I asked for others and got the Carolina one used on the pork also. I liked it. But they need one with a kick, spicy hot. Then you can mix to your palate. Our sides were also good. Mac cheese and potatoes. We will definitely be back when in Solvang!
