Got to try them on Saturday.
Pulled Pork was just okay.
Beef Brisket was really really good.
The ribs were amazing. Probably some of the best ribs I've had in a long time.

If they're closing to rebrand, you would think that they would at least have some sort of social media presence to tell people about it.

Do you honestly think a water feature is going to be useful from beyond End of May - Mid sep? Maybe 3.5 months at most. It's already closed. And you can't even check out the stuff, because it's got barriers up.
