Let me preface by saying the wait staff were friendly and attentive and the restaurant had a clean, tasteful interior. My sole problem was with the food. My wife and I had never been here before so we stopped in for dinner. The restaurant had some customers but not what I'd call overly busy and we were seated immediately. I decided to order a build your own platter with pulled chicken, brisket, and 1/4 rack of dry rub baby back ribs with mixed greens and Mac and cheese as sides. My wife got the fried chicken livers with corn fritters and string beans with tomatoes. Our food came out quickly and everything *looked* good. My plate was stacked with brisket and pulled chicken and I'd say a bit more than a quarter rack of ribs. My sides looked pretty good and my wife's food did as well. I went straight for the brisket which was piled up pretty high and it looked moist and tender. Unfortunately, it turned into the blandest, driest, brisket I've ever had once I took a bite, and it was barely room temperature. It was like eating a pot roast that someone boiled in unsalted water. Not so much as a hint of smoke on it. Being a bit of a brisket fiend, I was sorely disappointed. The only way to salvage it was to drown it in their "Virginia Red" BBQ sauce, which was actually very good. The ribs looked slightly less promising than the brisket (which again, looked good) but I withheld judgement at first. They had far more flavor than the brisket (but the same could be said for shoe leather with a bit of salt sprinkled on.) They were somehow dry but tender at the same time. Almost like they were a couple days old or something. They, too, were barely room temperature (a running theme). The thing that stood out to me the most was this odd taste that I can only describe as a "funk" but not necessarily bad. Maybe it's a flavoring or a herb or spice I'm not familiar with but it gave me pause to eat any more of it. The pulled chicken was a very slight redeemer. A huge portion was given so points for that. It came already coated in some kind of sauce (not quite a NC vinegar sauce but maybe a derivative). I took a bite and it was stone cold BUT it was tender, mostly moist, and had pretty good flavor. The running themes for the meat (bbq) here seem to be that it's served room temp or cold and that the typically smokiness you get from BBQ is missing entirely. My mac and cheese was pretty good. I don't know if it's made in house or not but I was able to eat it. It too was room temp, as were my greens which had zero flavor. No salt, no smoked pork seasoning, just straight up boiled or simmered mixed greens. My wife said the chicken livers were good, her corn fritters suffered from the same temperature issues mine did but she said they had good flavor. The string beans and tomatoes were warm but again, flavorless. Maybe they were having an off day (we did show up on a Tuesday night) but much of what I had was bland, cold, and honestly tasted like it had been made days in advance and heated up not with an oven, stove, or even a microwave, but rather the warms thoughts of the staff. Again, all the staff were friendly, attentive and courteous (our waitress was very sweet) but my past experience with BBQ joints is that first impressions are usually a good indicator of future visits and at $63 dollars for 2 people after tax and tip (granted I got probably the most expensive thing on the menu), I was expecting much better. Maybe I'll give them another shot when I'm not so hungry and on a busier day where the food would need to be made fresh to keep up. Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Oh my goodness.... I finally made it to Sibley's Bar-B-Que and I'm sorry it took me this long to get here. The food is amazing! I couldn't get enough of the fresh homemade coleslaw, it was absolutely delicious. The ribs we cooked to perfection! They offer 3 types of barbecue sauce on the table so I tried all three of course separately and it made the ribs taste even better but I the Carolina sauce was my favorite! The customer service is the best! I felt like I was family. The ambiance is quaint I loved it! The waitress told me they offer their best deals on Tuesday night which includes 1/4 rack of ribs another meat, 2 sides, hush puppies and a drink for $9.99! This will be one of my go to spots moving forward! Please give this place a try if you're a barbecue lover!
