    We had a reservation as it was a night that UConn was playing at the XL Center and were seated on time. The place was packed and there probably weren't enough waitstaff on duty but we were able to dine and leave with enough time to make the start of the game. Overall a very enjoyable dining experience. The food came out hot and was delicious. We will try this place again for sure and make an earlier reservation next time.

    The Wait Service was the non existent. Apparently, the Bartender was supposed to be our server. However, she was all into flirting with one of the guys at the bar. It took forever for someone else to take our order. When we tried to get another young lady to assist us (Hispanic/Glasses), she said: “It’s not her section and wouldn’t assist us.” Also, the lady whom I believe to be the manager or owner wasn’t there. That might be why the wait service SUCKED. I wouldn’t recommend giving Black Eyed Sally’s your business

    I had a wonderful experience with good friends great music and amazing BBQ. The band played great jazzy funk and the crowd loved it. The was a celebrity musical appearance. The smoked ribs were to die for. This place has been around forever.it should be sold out every night.

    Great food and waitress was super. It was a busy night so very loud and food slow to arrive. But worth the wait.

    Not up to usual standards. Brisket was tough and was sent back. Replace with ribs that had very little taste in the rub and no bbq sauce
