Holy Smokes BBQ

I had low hopes for this place as I don't think I'll ever find a BBQ place in Columbus, Oh. better than City BBQ, and I was right!  I got a pulled pork sandwich, cheesy potatoes and a cornbread.  The sandwich was ok, it had the sauce already on it or I could have gotten the plain pork and added my own sauce.  The cheesy potatoes tasted like the potatoes you would make out of a box at home.  The cornbread was ok also, but it was huge!  My hubby got the sampler platter, he got to choose 3 kinds of meat and 3 sides.  He got the plain pulled pork and added the sauce himself, pulled chicken, and the brisket.  The chicken tasted weird, almost chemically, I guess it was the sauce.  I didn't like it.  The brisket was really good.  He got mac n' cheese, beans, and chips for his sides.  The mac n' cheese was white and tasteless, the beans were different, they weren't baked beans like I'm used to, they had a ketchupy taste.  I had 1 chip and it was good, but some of them were soggy and really greasy, my hubby didn't like them and thought that they were old.  The meat was lukewarm.  City BBQ is cheaper and the food is way better.  Also, I don't know what kind of hippy drink containers they are using, but as soon as I filled up my drink the cup got squishy, like it was already starting to biodegrade in my hands.  The only cool place about this place is that you can buy funny named hot sauces.  Like sir farts a lot and queen of farts and cojones for $5 each.  You can also buy them on their website http://www.cajohns.com/ but they cost a little bit more.
