This was my first time visiting Hart’s but it won’t be my last. First of all, ask for Ms. Christy!! She is amazing. Ms. Christy greeted me as soon as the door opened. I told her I had no idea what I wanted to order - she gave me a menu, offered suggestions, and provided a welcoming smile. The young lady who actually took my order wasn’t as friendly and she slammed my card on the counter which is the only reason I deducted 1 star from service. I handed her the receipt and pen in her hand, but she slammed my card again when I made a 2nd order. Now, the food review: 1. PULLED PORK NACHOS!!! 10/10 The pulled pork was delicious all by itself… seasoned well, melt in your mouth but combined with nachos OMG AMAZING It was so good I ate 1/2 of the nachos before I realized I forgot to add the barbecue sauce. Thank you Ms Christy for recommending them!! She was eating nachos on her break and it looked so good I had to order. She even offered me a bite of her nachos to taste. 2. Fish on a Bun 7/10. The fish was seasoned well and the condiments were fresh. I prefer my fish fried a little harder, especially for a sandwich. That’s my only complaint. Overall, good sandwich! 3. Rib & Brisket Plate 9/10! The ribs and brisket were delicious, without barbecue sauce. The meat was tender, melt in your mouth… the potato salad and baked beans were fresh, delicious. I usually don’t eat onions in my potato salad but it was GOOD! Oh, and the barbecue is awesome I can’t wait to order more food off the menu. TNT is next▶ Please go to Hart’s BBQ & Ask for Christy, She will take care of You
