“Full disclosure, we arrived a half hour before they closed so some of my complaints are likely due to being the last customers of the day. First time trying this place and was unfortunately not impressed. Shared a 2 meat and 2 side plate. The brisket was tough/dry and the corn side was also dry and bland. This is likely due to being cooked earlier that day and being kept warm until they closed. The pulled pork was tender, juicy and flavorful but unfortunately all our food besides the beans and cheese curds came out very cold. Didn’t get to try the potato salad or Mac and cheese because they were out, again our fault for being there at the end of the day. I would give this place another try, but get there when they open for hopefully higher quality. The other issue was the service. Besides the fact all four staff members appeared to be in high school, the young woman who took our order was rather dismissive and not friendly. I understand its the end of the day but unfortunately this was a negative experience. They all appeared to be working hard and there was other people there the same time as us so again, I can sympathize with the attitudes. Overall I wouldn’t say this is the best bbq in Salem, but I would be willing to go back and give the service and food another chance. Maybe this was an off evening for them.”
