Texas Hold'em Bbq--a Restaurant Review


I am still in shock--this is the only restaurant I can remember that DOES NOT SERVE COFFEE!
We
were the only party in the restaurant which is why I generally like to
go out for lunch around 2:30. Kanya, the server (and as far as I can
tell the only one working in the restaurant except, maybe, for a cook)
came over to take our drink order and when she gave me the 'no coffee'
news, and I came out of shock, I ordered a diet coke as did Allen and we
both had the "All in Sandwich" which consists of pulled pork (or beef)
on Texas bread (which should have been toasted) with Cole Slaw and sweet
potato fries piled on top and BBQ sauce o-in a souffle cup. Kanya did
ask us if we wanted the fries on the side but we said no--definitely
should have! The sandwich was just okay and very sloppy.
We had a
'new times deal' for paying $15 for $30 worth of food. We ordered Peach
Cobbler with ice cream. Again not listening when Kanya asked us if we
wanted separate dishes of ice cream we answered no which was a huge
mistake for 2 reasons: 1) being that an individual scoop of ice cream
was way too big for one cobbler and 2) made it very sloppy not to
mention that a scoop of ice cream was $2.95 plus the cobbler was $4. The
cobbler wasn't anything special.
Kanya was fairly new and didn't
know how to apply the coupon so she called (I believe the owner Jeremy
Armstead) and without thinking I paid the $14.20 (plus a $6 tip) and, as
usual, I asked if I could keep that copy of the check.
It was my bad
for not checking the check then but when I got home a bell went off and
I looked it over. The total came to $28.40 so why did I have to pay
$14.20 when, supposedly, I was suppose to get $30 worth of food? I
called the restaurant and Kanya answered and knew immediately something
was wrong, apologized and asked for my name and number and said she
would tell them to call me. I did get a call from Nicole (Bookkeeper?
Manager? Co-owner?) who said I was right and that I should come in for a
refund. I am unable to make it tomorrow and said she would be off but
if I have any problem I should tell them to call her.
I ate at the restaurant the first week they opened and I wasn't impressed then and today's experience was a complete turn off---back to Tom Jenkins for BBQ!

I love pulled anything. I grew up with sliced barbeque on squishy white bread so this pulled barbeque is new to me. Well, sort of new. Ten years or so. Still love it. And ribs. And rib tips.

Pulled pork, or pulled anything else makes me think of a church supper. Can't do it out. Better luck next time!
