The food was average. I definitely wouldn’t make this place my first choice of a restaurant. I would take advantage of another option for the BBQ experience. I also observed that the servers didn’t bother to wash their hands after removing/digging a crayon from a potted plant. The servers went over to the window where food had been placed and brought our food to us without washing their hands. That’s unacceptable. Do better!

Our experience was perfect from my 1st call to the pick up of our catered meal. Jason always answered my questions, emails so quickly. Very accommodating. Plus the food was amazing. More than enough , tasty & so flavorful. Completely satisfied

Delightful and delicious! I've been living in Texas for nearly decade but tonight's BBQ brisket, after an evening at Trinity Rep, was beyond expectations! The menu changes after 10 p.m. We arrived at 10:05 p.m. I'll have to return to try the regular menu offerings. Though the menu was limited, the flavor was not. Comfort food with extra comfort! The late evening menu platters come with a choice of meats with corn bread, pickles and Mac & Cheese. A clever mix of textures and tastes that complemented each other quite nicely.As an added bonus, the music mix was spot on with something for everyone.The service was prompt, friendly and attentive. The kitchen is spotless.Prices were quite reasonable.No deficiencies noted.

We had a nice experience on a Sunday night after a visit to Dunkin Center (which is probably a good option for parking nearby).We had the ribs, brisket, pork belly, chicken, mac and cheese and a corn dog. Everything was delicious and the pork belly and especially the ribs melted in my mouth! I only wish the portions were a little bigger. But this is truly excellent BBQ, well worth saving up for.

Nice service and good food with a late night food menu, $15 for a brisket plate.Overall experience was great!

Little tricky to locate but worth the effort. Brisket and pulled pork both delicious. Mac and cheese was great, had a little kick to it from the pepper that my 13 year was not crazy about but I normally add pepper anyway so it was perfect for me. Order the pierogies, they were amazing! I will be back

Great Food!, but a "one and done"I went there with a friend for dinner following a P-Bruins game on 03APR2022.Location: Easy to find (as a Rhode Islander). There is a "pay for parking" parking lot directly behind the establishment, so if you didn't walk over from the Dunk, you can park there. It is the same location as the old AS220 and old Satin Doll.Appearance: Both the exterior and interior the building are quite nice. The bathrooms are clean, feature some stainless, and a lot of hand motion instruments for cleanliness. The seating area is also clean, nice floors, and spacious. Great bar too!Food: I ate the bbq pulled pork sandwich with a side of fries and mac & cheese. My friend had the ribs and beans. Both meals were excellent. The fries were crisp and hot, the ribs were amazing (from what I was told) and the puled pork sandwich was great. A lot of flavor, not dry. My only observation to the food (not a criticism by any means) was that there was only one selection of bbq sauce on the table.. It was good though!Drinks: Both of us ordered a house margarita. They were good; however, they were small. I then ordered an IPA from Proclamation, again, I know the product (it was good); however, it was not served in a pint glass. The glass was much smaller.People: I did not interact with the bartender, so that is not applicable. Our waitress was insanely nice. She was accurate on the order, personable, and she was genuine. The host, on the other hand was the complete opposite. Upon entry to the restaurant the greeting was a "Hi this is what we don't have on the menu. Do you still want to eat here?" There was no smile, no eye contact. Upon seating, the host gave us water and provided plates and utensils, again, looking in an other direction as if we were bothering him. His attire was as unprofessional as his attitude.Conclusion: Great food (seriously) - but the face of the business doesn't provide me with the "want" to return. There are plenty of other businesses in the area that have both great food and people with great attitudes. I would rather my hard-earned dollar fund their business ventures.

Ribs are awesome ? Mac n cheese can be better they put some type of crumble on top I'm not that much for.. ? Will go again.

Had Durks for take-out. AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Particularly loved the chicken with white BBQ sauce. The beans are also delicious! Portions perfect size - not too much, not too little.

Food was great people were great. I will definitely go back.
