Huge overhead and from looking it over from a professional standpoint it doesn't know if it wants to be a restaurant or a bar which equates to failure 90% of the time IMO.
It looks like a cracker barrel/Kenny Rodgers with a splash of an Applebee's bar stuffed inside.

The pictures remind me of the hugely successful place in St. Simon's. I don't think that's the problem.
The location at Church and Broad is the problem.
It's too close to downton to bring in the ATL Hwy crowd who want to avoid downtown, but too far from downtown to drag the downtown people to it.
ETA- that whole stretch of Broad from the Holiday Inn out to Milledge is a deadzone for restaurants.

"Saucehouse." Jesus. If the highlight of your restaurant is your sauces then your BBQ sucks.
You talk big for a person who was too chickenshit to enter either of the two Dawgrant BBQ cookoffs.

Update... after actually reading the whole review, it turns out the bar is in a separate building on the property.
So it's not a restaurant with a bar, it is a restaurant and a bar.

What do you think it is about athens, ga that accounts for such high concentrations of vegetarians?.....

Lots of young intellectuals. Those people are usually environmentalists. Environmentalists believe commercial meat production is among the most environmentally destructive industry in the world. So they "do their part" by eating Tofu, which is made from soybeans, which is also environmentally destructive.

I don't cook BBQ but I do enjoy it. I'm just not much on sauce. I am happy your mcrib did well in the BBQ Cookoff, though.

High level of idealists and a hgih number of quality places like The Grit, The National, etc. to scratch the vegetarian itch. It attracts their ideology via the UNiversity and music scene and incubates it with the food options.

Some are decent I just don't want a shite load of sauce on my BBQ. I don't like the Carolina vinegar or Alabama white sauce at all. Or were you making a jizz joke? It's hard to tell sometimes.

I never thought of the National as a vegetarian place... my favorite dish there is the hanger steak.
They usually have a confit (meat cured in it's own fat) on the menu, a fish, and always some kind of poultry.
The Grit is a true vegetarian restaurant.... no meat in the building except eggs.

They've got some really solid options that I hear vegetarians like such as the Power Lunch and the Super Bowl. Like you, I'm usually getting the steak or chicken when I go so I can't really speak from personal experience on the merit of those dishes.

I've tried their mustard and vinegar variants where they've catered before. Neither are bad by any means.

A big barbecue plate and drinking don't really seem to go together for me. BBQ, hash, greens and Mac-n-cheese with a sweet tea already hits like a ton of bricks. Throw a big craft beer on top of that and it just might kill you.

Exactly.
There are meals that require a cold beer like mexican or oysters or crawfish etc, but bbq isn't one of them. Especially not some dark heavy over-priced over-hopped neo hippe horse piss, i mean craft beer.
Real bbq shacks don't need cool dude mcSnoot ale taps and jenga games to attract customers. People come for the pig. The end.
This joint has red flags popping up all over the place.
