brioche, aioli, siracha slaw, no table service, filthy water station, liquid smoke, slab benches, weird beer choices (blue moon, really?), sticky tables, flies everywhere...and prices that you could buy a whole brisket and a kettle grill yourself. But hey, the people making your food are wearing black gloves!
Everyone thought we were nuts when we opened scratch kitchen BBQ joint in "tapas alley" in spain.
I tried to explain to everyone you CANNOT open a decent mom & pop restaurant in the US anymore, it's just not feasible.
Everyone gave us 6 months and that was 4 months before COVID hit & we're still kickin'.
There needs to be a serious overhaul in the US foodservice industry...we need to get back to our roots & make opening a sustainable location feasible again otherwise (you) are gonna be stuck with Applebucks Fridays!
No joke, one of these joints replaced an old pizza place in a nearby neighborhood. Paid over $70 to feed 3 people the dryest tiny portions I’ve ever had at a bbq place.
Service was also terrible, over an hour wait for that garbage (with only about a third of the restaurant occupied) with a 20 minute wait for fountain drinks.
They raised prices AND cut portions, which is just infuriating. I went to a mom and pop comfort food place recently and the prices were ok but the portion sizes were huge. I'm going to go back often.
i'll readily go to a restaurant that's a little more expensive if the food is good quality and the portions are plentiful. but shrinkflation absolutely boils my piss

You know you're in a legit bbq joint when they throw a massive slab of meat on your trey with a side of beans and charge $7

I went to Rudy's BBQ a while back and surprised that $10 gets you nothing.
That is surprisingly expensive. I can get nothing at home for free.
Legit have had three places try to open in the same location with this exact menu. Ffs they fail every time after like 3 months.

The thing is that if you are serving it like this your BBQ had better be the shit and 99% of the time it’s not.
