J. Render's Southern Table & Bar

I just spent $20 ($24 after tip) for the driest brisket and pork I've ever had. The service was okay, but the prices are extremely high for what it is. I got the platter with pork, brisket, mac and cheese, brusselsprouts and just water to drink. The sauces were just okay, but I had to douse them all over the meats in order to make them palatable. Sadly, the brusselprouts were the best part of the entire meal. I won't be coming back, unfortunately.

This restaurant was close to our hotel and we usually like to try non franchise places. We were not disappointed. We tried the buffalo chicken dip but the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and pork belly was creative and very tasty. All of the sauces were great especially the hot bbq sauce and I did find the Alabama white sauce complimented the brisket well. The cocktail was good. Customer service right in line with the meal!

The service in the restaurant was excellent, friendly and fast. We visited during a very generous happy hour featuring beer (craft and otherwise), wine and liquor. One not so great thing about the service: the food came out too fast. Appetizers came out 4 minutes after our food! So this place is great if you are in a hurry, but not if you like a more relaxed dinner.The food was ok, but nothing special. The macaroni and cheese was excellent, the spinach dip not so good. The meat on my French dip was a bit skimpy and lacked much flavor. My husband like the ribs, but found them uninspired. Convenient location near a mall, plenty of parking, outside seating as well as inside is always nice, though outside seating faces the parking lot. Maybe some more separation (plants, small divider?) would make seating outside very pleasant, though admittedly we sat inside.

This place is the worst barbecue place in town. It’s way over price and the food is very mediocre. I could’ve went to a fast food place and got better barbecue than this. I got the “famous” pulled pork sandwich that they claimed was the sandwich that started the restaurant. There was hardly any barbecue sauce on it it tasted like a glorified grilled cheese. They claimed mac & cheese was on the sandwich but you could barely taste it. I didn’t even finish. The fries were not fresh. It’s obvious that they are frozen fries that they use. The buffalo chicken dip was runny and hardly hot. The only thing good about this place was a live music. We also came in and there were about four tables available and we had to wait 20 minutes for a table. They don’t have any type of seating for you to wait for an available table. So we had to stuff ourselves at the bar waiting on a table. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I’ve never went to a place that didn’t have adequate seating when waiting on a table to open up. After we finally received a seat over in the corner we waited for at least 5 to 10 minutes for our server to come over. We were so close to getting up and leaving. We came there on a Saturday night and there was no type of manager walking around making sure that everyone was taken care of. Everyone was just doing their own thing there. It was an absolute joke and I will not be telling anyone to eat here.
