Back in Jacksonville, we had so many great BBQ options, and I've been really disappointed since moving to Minnesota. We ordered the Cluckin Heiffer, which featured a variety of meats (chicken, brisket, turkey, sausage), and oh my gosh, it was incredible! It came with sides, so we chose mashed potatoes, corn, and smoked mac and cheese, and every single one exceeded my expectations. I also ordered collard greens (a southern staple that I'm obsessed with), and wow—I was shocked! I haven't had good collard greens since my last trip down South. We also tried the fried okra (so good!) and coleslaw (yummy). My kids loved everything, but they were especially obsessed with the cornbread muffins. I barely got one bite before they devoured the rest! Oh, and my husband specially ordered fried gizzards (another southern favorite), and I haven’t seen him this happy in ages! This place has definitely become a new favorite, and we plan to visit weekly for as long as they're around.

My son received his pulled pork sandwich and cheese sticks fairly quickly, while I waited for my meal. He ended up finishing his food before I even got mine. I sampled his meal, but found the pulled pork to be quite bland. When my food arrived, I found the BBQ to be just average. The ribs had little flavor, even though they were dry-rubbed, which made me want to try them without any sauce first. Unfortunately, they were pretty plain. Adding the sauce didn’t help much either; it was just okay. It seems they may be trying to cater to those who prefer milder flavors, which I’d describe as “Minnesota bland.” The brisket had a bit more taste, but still didn’t reach the flavor profile I expected. My meal came with two sides and a small store-bought dinner roll served with honey butter, which felt like a strange choice. There was an ample amount of food, as I ordered BBQ Cowboy Beans (also bland) and hickory-flavored fries (which lacked any hickory taste). I really wanted to leave a better review, but unfortunately, that was my overall experience.

The food was so good I stopped on my way home and picked up dinner for myself and one of my business clients. It is a family run business that is innovative in their menu, so I look forward to going back again to try some of their other barbecue meats and excellent side dishes. The collard greens, corn and beans were excellent. All of the meats in the sampler were exceptional

That was horrible, but at least it was severely overpriced. I don't know how to describe how pathetic this was. I actually feel bad that someone has devoted his/their/lives to creating this. Just....sad. Don't know how to leave fewer than one star.
