After a short wait outside in the queue, Jaimee and I managed to squeeze our way into this new, only 30 seat, resto for dinner last night. Their bent is 'bourbon, BBQ and beer' and from my seat the concept is working very well.
It certainly evokes a cool Americana vibe and it has a lot more charm than I expect it had in its former life as a (very successful) food truck.
We were both tempted by the pulled pork although the other meats were equally appealing and we ordered the burnt end mash as a side. It was still too soon to order the sprouts! The meat was served with the house pickles (cucumber and onion) in an old camping style white enamel dish with a blue rim. The meat was absolutely delicious and it was a very tasty meal.
The drinks menu has a long list of bourbons and rye whiskys and the cocktails are interesting. We started with a Hard Lemonade, and moved on to a New York Sour. Both good.
But it doesn't stop there. Jaimee had a Bourbon Sticky Pudding with juicy liquor-soaked raisins for dessert. And I had a Snickers Mess which I can assure you won't feature in any detox.
Definitely worth another visit but timing is everything. The now very common 'no reservation' policy means it's first in, first served, so you either need to eat at the same time as your grandparents or the Spanish if you want to avoid the wait.
