Overpriced and Incorrect Order
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to small over-priced portions. I did not receive what I ordered, and the staff was unwilling to correct the mistake. The fries were very greasy, but the brisket was very good.

Disappointing Sides, Great Sandwiches
My experience at the Blind Raven was not impressive. The waitress made a mistake with our order, even though we all ordered the same thing. While the sandwiches were great, the sides felt like a complete robbery. A small handful of greasy and oily fries cost $10. I paid over $20 and left hungry. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Amazing Food and Service!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The food and drinks were absolutely amazing. I also want to give a special shout-out to the server, Bugg. She was a smoke show, very easy on the eyes, and incredibly good at what she does. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service was also a perfect 5. It's suitable for all group sizes and had a moderate noise level.

Closed Early for Catering
I arrived at 4: 45 PM and was told that the restaurant was closing early for catering. It would have been helpful if this information was stated on their operating hours.

Delicious Homemade Food and Kind Service
My experience at the restaurant was wonderful! The staff were kind people with a beautiful smile :). The food tastes great, just like homemade. My son particularly enjoyed his pulled pork sandwich with french fries.

Exquisite Local Gem with Skillful Cooking
Every time I'm in town, I stop by this exquisite, locally owned business. You can truly taste the time, skill, and patience in every bite of the buttery brisket and fluffy waffles. They offer an array of sauces to select from. The staff are kind, courteous, diligent, and well-prepared.

Best BBQ and Excellent Service!
My experience at Blind Raven was absolutely fantastic. The BBQ was some of the best I've ever had. The service was incredibly courteous, and they were not stingy with their portions. Five stars are truly not enough for this establishment.

Great Food, Service, and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive. I enjoyed the great food, which was complemented by friendly service. The prices were reasonable, and the establishment was notably clean. I also appreciated the easy parking, clean bathrooms, and the availability of lots of fun events. The atmosphere, service, and food were all rated a perfect 5 out of 5.

Amazing Food and Great Experience
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was awesome, and the owners even came out to chat about business, food, and life. The meat smoker had a wonderful hickory scent that only got better when the food arrived. All the sauces were made in-house. I will definitely be back.

Not Real BBQ - Disappointing Experience
My experience at this restaurant was not good. I tried the brisket, ribs, slaw, and sweet potato fries, but ended up throwing it all away. It was such a waste. The brisket smelled bad and the ribs were horrible. The brisket tasted like it was heated in a pan or microwave and took forever to chew. I suspect the pictures are from the old Pig Iron BBQ that used to be here, as that place was good. It's sad to see a place like this take its place.
