The atmosphere is contrived - the Syracuse & Rochester branches have more by the way of graffiti and kitsch factor. Here it's imported and incredibly PC. Where are the offensive bumper stickers? Attitude? Older biker waitresses in leather half tops? You could fit both the Syracuse and Rochester joints inside this one - the result is more 'Outback Steakhouse' than the legendary Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. Being kid-friendly is overrated. Thankfully the food is the same, for the most part, and it's de-licious. Some of the best stuff has been left off the menu: gravy, true mashed potatoes, chili as a 'homemade side', the Pappy-Slappin Catfish Strips, and the Dom Perignon (not that you'd order it, but the option was nice). Regardless, definitely go...skip other meals that day in preparation. It's that good. Start with a lb. of the Drunken Shameless Spicy Shrimp and then move to the ribs.
Pros: good parking, lots of space, good deal
