    We got this delivered and couldn’t be happier with the service! So fast and accurate. The driver even double checked to make sure we knew it was delivered to our front desk. Collard greens and cole slaw were fabulous. The brisket was very tasty, but rather dry. It needs something to moisten it, or it needs to be monitored better wherever it’s stored for slicing. Overall very happy. Would be absolutely incredible if the meat could be less dry.

    Today I had probably one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in a restaurant. The bartender behind the bar was unbelievably rude and completely unprofessional. When I approached, he didn’t even bother to look at me properly — staring somewhere past me, answering in a dry, annoyed tone, as if I was interrupting his personal time. Every question I asked was met with some memorized phrases, delivered like he was doing me a huge favor. No politeness, no basic respect at all. He looked totally checked out and indifferent to the guests: unfocused eyes, slow strange reactions, very odd behavior overall. Talking to him was extremely uncomfortable. Instead of explaining or helping, he spoke in a condescending way, interrupted, rolled his eyes, sighed loudly, as if my presence alone was irritating him. For a place that supposedly cares about its service, this is an absolute failure. One person behind the bar completely destroys the atmosphere. Service is at zero, and my desire to ever come back is also at zero. I strongly do not recommend visiting this place. If the owner cares at all about the reputation of Fat Pete’s BBQ, they should take a very close look at this bartender. With this kind of attitude he is driving customers away and killing any motivation to return.
