I went yesterday and it was fantastic. I had the pulled pork platter with johnny cakes and the mac and cheese. It was all delicious. The drink special, which if I recall correctly, was called grandpa’s revenge was also fantastic. I’m definitely going back.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. As others have said, we were ironing out some of the kinks and plates were not going out fast enough. We have rectified that problem now and really appreciate your feedback. See you soon!

Ok….majorly awesome dinner tonight. 6 of us were the first customers – pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and mac n cheese – great. Baked beans will be on order every time. Pastrami with a side salad and mac n cheese – pastrami was as awesome as it is off the PORC truck. Pulled chicken with collard greens and mac n cheese. So so chicken but I would have bathed in the collard greens. Sloppy joe with chili was just the right kind of spicy. Kids shared a meat plate with a side of salad and mac n cheese. Mergeuz sausage had to be repeated it was so yummy. Tried the dessert sampler – bacon peanut butter cookies, smoked meringue, mini pecan tarts, brownies with chocolate dipping sauce. So we ate our way through about 1/3 of the menu. Definitely a ton of keepers and we will come back to try more. We came early so the kids could eat as well and the guys were great to bring them a side of bacon to nosh on.

… seems odd to hold a grudge against KBC because a restaurant you loved couldn’t stay in business. KBC just took over the space, didn’t push Acuario out with torches and pitchforks. Would you have preferred the space remain empty and unused as an homage to your preferred dining experience?

I may be the only person not excited about this place. The name is juvenile & the menu uninspiring. Maybe I hold a grudge because I loved Acuario. I’m super excited about Margo’s Chair & the Mexican place across from Room 11.

Instead of Marscapone Tart, how about one made with Mascarpone instead. I wouldn’t normally remark on this in the comments, but presumably this is going to be a printed menu too.

Many BBQ sauce recipes call for Worcestershire Sauce (which has anchovies); specifying vegan sauce lets the lacto-ovo vegetarians know it’s safe for them.

So, is it truly open at this point? What are the hours, etc? It’s clear they had a soft opening but when can I go?

Sounds awesome.

Not until the boxing matches start. The loser ends up on the menu.
