4 Olives

Wine Spectator rated them as having the best wine list in Kansas.  They were the only KS restaurant to get 2 wine glasses (on a 3 wine glass scale).

Will it be real BBQ? or Famous Dave's BBQ?

Also, all the time on the place makes it seem hot.

I think real. They seem to be pretty set on keeping it top notch this time. Might even finally have bigger portions.  :thumbsup:

Kind of ruining the fine dining thread, but I had this tonight and it was 1) not famous daves 2) not particularly good

ordered 1/2 slab of rib platter potato salad/mac + cheese + texas sausage samich.  Ribs were not amazing.  Sausage sandwhich good, but a microwaved, non-seasoned KSU Call Hall sausage on wonder bread (that came with) was like 2-3x better.

That Call Hall sausage is pretty legit.  Smoky flavor and all, but come on Cox bro!  When your Bbq has a drive-thru, probably not a good sign.

I thought the ribs were ok, not great but def the best in Manhattan (not saying much).  The brisket I had was pretty bad.  Dry, tough, and not seasoned.  Mac and cheese was ok.  Fries were above average.  Texas Sizzle BBQ sauce was also above average but less than amazing
