Restaurant review - Brian's Backyard BBQ

Craig and I had dinner tonight at Brian's Backyard BBQ in Montgomery. I had the wings with sticky bourbon sauce as an appetizer, and Craig had the smoked potato skins. Both were excellent. The potato skins were stuffed with pulled pork, cheese, and bacon.
For dinner, Craig had pork chops with horseradish, mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese. I had the half chicken with collard greens and honey glazed sweet potatoes.
The meats were good; the pork chop was moist and perfectly done. Craig said he would have liked more horseradish flavor, though. The chicken was moist and tasty, but the real stand-outs were the sides. The collards were prepared with cider vinegar, smoked pork, and a little sugar. The mashed potatoes had an onion-garlic-herb seasoning that was absolutely amazing. The sweet potatoes were great, not swimming in too many extra ingredients. The mac & cheese was smooth, creamy, and flavorful.
The Dogfish head beer on tap was a plus, too. The only downside is that there was a band playing and it was kind of loud. I didn't mind, but Craig did.
All in all, I would recommend it. We'll be going back because I really want to try the brisket.
