"I’ll be direct and to the point..Had 1/4 lb brisket, with mac and cheese and collards with a soda. Set me back about 30+ dollars. Brisket was OK, Mac and cheese was OK but the collards were excellent..amazingly so. Like others have said, employees working there give off the vibe of not wanting to be anywhere near there. Probably would patronize the business again but when budgets allow."

"This Brisket is AMAZING! Guy at the register had some great recommendations. Those cheese fries were so good, you can definitely tell the fries were fresh. They also have a bar counter just for their guests which is a plus because it is very hard to find a table in Optimist. All in all, I definitely will be back soon!"

"I was visiting from NY and was happy to find great BBQ and sweet tea! They had a special of meat.ocer cheese fries with salsa, and after sampling both the brisket and the pulled pork, I chose the latter. It was two meals for me. My son got the brisket sandwich and mac and cheese. We really enjoyed the flavors."

"We both got the sliced brisket. I got two orders of the red slaw. He got the mac and cheese. Everything is a la carte. There are no combo meal options. The brisket was tender for the most part. The red slaw had a serious kick to it. The mac and cheese was just okay. The cashier was polite and professional but not friendly. The food is what will bring us back."

"We thought the food here was really good but we also had to spend close to $60 for two people to have lunch. We tried a small portion of ribs, and the smallest portion of brisket and pulled pork. The small 4ox portion of brisket for example is literally one slice. A half pound of ribs was 4 small baby back ribs. Our chopped pork was the size of a side container. Sides are on average $5 and they too are pretty small and enough for two people to have a very small portion only- not really enough that you’d consider it a side. We came here because we heard the food was great and it was. If these are the prices and portions that keep their business solvent based on overheard and food prices, I understand that it but at the same time it does unfortunately impact our choice to eat there again and how often. I’d rather eat out less often and have a really good quality meal but realize this is not the mentality of many consumers today. Curious to see how this pans out for this business. I’d like to see people recognize the quality and be willing to pay what the business needs to provide it and be in an environment like Optimist Hall but time will tell. Not sure if their meat is pasture raised pork & beef or if it was meat that came from the commercial feed lot type environment. I should have asked. That would definitely make it more expensive."
