    Had a reservation. I was sat in front of kitchen window in a lower booth. I ended up changing to other side of booth for a view of the hanging wooden chandelier. So, not a good view! Noise level was horrendous!

    Had dinner with a friend tonight who had read somewhere that Jack Stack had pork chops for a short time so we both ordered them. They were thick and juicy and exquisitely seasoned. We shared a molten lava brownie ala mode that was to die for. To make our dinner even better, our server was friendly and had a great sense of humor responding to my friend’s teasing.

    I brought a guest from out of town. I knew I liked the Freight-house location better, but it was booked so we went to the Plaza location. It didn’t start off well. As the hostess sat us at a dirty table. She didn’t notice the water rings and residual food on the table. We ordered onion rings. They were okay. $13 for 6 “okay” onion rings. The entrees were good. Not phenomenal “wrote home about” bbq. I’d give the entrees a 3.5, and the cheesy corn a 5. (An entree that wasn’t bbq but just sides would be my go to, if it was offered. Like 3 or 4 sides would be perfect. ) Side note, the music was way too loud.

    The food was delicious and service was outstanding as well. We had the ribs, smoked brisket, sausage, potatoes au gratin, Baked Beans. The meat on the ribs was so tender it literally was falling off the bone, I loved that the ribs were dry and flavorful allowing us to either add sauce or not. These ribs were so good, no sauce was needed. The brisket was tender, smoky and done right. Our server was attentive, timely and made great suggestions to try on the menu. Overall a great experience and we will gladly return.
