the sit-down dining experiences have sounded unfortunate, but we got our beers quick enough, and the sweet potato fries and onion rings were delish. of course, it's kind hard to mess up beer and fried stuff. which may be why that's all i ever eat.

I went to the Road House last night with my girlfriend. Got seated at 8. By 8:10 we had our first beers delivered to our table and ordered our meal. Nothing complicated: American Chop Suey for her and a Briskett sandwich with fries for me. By 9:25 we still did not have our food. I threw down some money for the three total beers that were served to our table in the hour and a half we were there and walked out with a sour taste in my mouth. After waiting all summer for this, it was a HUUUUUUUUGE disappointment.

Maybe I'll actually be able to eat at a Publick House restaurant now that this place is open.. every time i've tried to go to the other location, the wait has been outlandish!

I'm not sure if it was just because it was opening night, but the food was not so good. The brisket was dry, of all things, and its bun was hard, the collard greens were overcooked and too vinegary, and the cornbread tasted like roche bros -very sweet. ugh. however, the beer selection, as at its forebearer, was excellent.
