The Scene – Friends and chefs Craig Samuels and Ben Grossman have succeeded in appealing to the casual, eclectic Fort Greene crowd. The wood-covered building, with its front porch open to the street and its small table-and-chairs interior, suits the counter-service atmosphere. Samuels and Grossman advertise their smoking as influenced by multiple cultures, including Southern, Latin and Asian, but they call their version "Brooklyn-style." – – The Food – And what does Brooklyn barbecue taste like? For the most satisfying answer, try the meaty wings--tender, perfectly…

great food, bad service and HEALTH VIOLATION
by charr093 at Citysearch
I loved this place with all my heart. The chopped chicken bbq sandwich is great, the mac and cheese is good and so are the seasoned fries. It quickly became one of my favoirte spots in BK! Until i read their health violations which they received during their last inspection on 5/09. I cant eat here anymore until they clean this place up! its not healthy :-(
- Pros: the food was great!!
- Cons: until i read their recent health inspecion online!!

Why oh why aren't these people educated on service?

First visit: eat in: 2.5 hours-rude waitress-rude host-remade order 2 times due to lack of menu items-still didn't get the full order-no comps
2nd visit: takeout: they say 15 minutes-I get there in 15, it takes 30. the pickup window isn't taking payments- the bar says to pay at the pick up window- the line's backed up from pick up customers and the guy at the bar can't work the computer- they give me dirty looks (maybe they recognized me from last time)
3rd visit: deliver: I order $14.63 of food (same order as my pick up but for some reason a dollar less?), she says they have a $25 min for delivery- I say just charge me 15, it's 37 cents short-she says she can't do that- I say ask the boss-she comes back very disgruntled and says this one time only-as I'm saying bye she just hangs up....
- Pros: decent food
- Cons: worst service-over and over and over again
