I was really impressed by Russell St. - the staff was friendly and we were promptly seated. I ordered the meatapalooza - including three meats, two sides and corn bread. Overall the meal was very good - the three choices I made for meat were brisket, pork ribs and beef ribs. I would have to say my least favorite was the beef rib - it was still good but paled in comparrison to the brisket and pork rib. - both of which are fall off the bone moist with a wonderful mix of spice and heat (I ordered mine hot). My only other wish is that the brisket was sliced instead of chopped but c'est la vie. The sides were some what mixed - I ordered the collard greens, mac and cheese and also had the side of cornbread. The greens were great - truly flavorfull and I needed to fight my girlfriend off to maintain control of the dish. The mac-n-cheese was a little unremarkable. I really thought that the cornbread was pretty below average - kind of dry and very little taste. Overall it was a great experience and I will go back many times Pros- excellent BBQ, huge portions, great sauces, clean tables, fast and friendly service Cons - so-so sides, prices a little high.
Pros: main dishes, portions, service
Cons: side dishes
