***2 1/2 stars***I think the lesson here is that I need to stop visiting these tourist traps on Stone Street, especially for sit-down meals. They're all overpriced (even by the standards of downtown Manhattan), and the food/service is never worth it. All you're getting for the extra money is the opportunity to eat on some cobblestones, which I'm sure I could easily do elsewhere. I stopped by last Friday for lunch around 1PM. It was pretty empty inside (it was a bit bustling outside on the aforementioned cobblestones, so I thought strategically it made sense to go to a quieter area where I'd be more likely to get solid service), and I easily secured a high top table just off the bar area. A positive right off the bat that's worth noting - this is the first time I can remember telling a bartender that I was just getting water in lieu of alcohol, and there was NO discernable change in their demeanor. This is a pet peeve of mine, and I'm glad Route 66 has employees who realize there's little value in looking mildly sad at the loss of a little extra money on the tab.I was pretty hungry, so I went with the Basket of Biscuits ($8) and the Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese ($18). Both were honestly pretty disappointing. The "basket" was a normal plate (why bother including Basket in the name of your dish if you don't intend to use one?) and the biscuits were unfortunately pretty dry/crumbly. I love biscuits from all over the spectrum - my all-time favorite is from Roy Rogers, which looked a lot like these, except the interior was moist and soft and the exterior had a nice crisp to it, but I can get down with super buttery ones like from Popeyes or Bojangles, or really doughy ones like at KFC. These just weren't good, and it's especially disappointing coming from an alleged BBQ place. They had a honey butter-type condiment, which was tough to apply because of the aforementioned texture, and it honestly didn't make much of a difference in terms of taste, which was bland. The Mac and Cheese was also not up to snuff. You can see from the accompanying picture that it's not very visually appealing - the random burnt topping wasn't a good look - and the pasta was a bit undercooked. The cheese was okay, but not great, also in the bland category. Personal palate-wise, I would have preferred smaller pieces of pulled pork and not quite as much, but I'm sure plenty of people are into the big hunks provided generously here.The only reason this isn't a full-on negative review is because of the service. I mentioned the personable bartender, but the service throughout the meal was excellent. As with most of the lunch options in the area, I was pretty much done within 30, 35 minutes from initial entry, which isn't bad. My proximity to the bar probably helped, but it was super easy to hail down the waitress/bartender for ordering, the check, etc.It's not hard to find BBQ restaurants in this area, and this one honestly isn't up to par in most respects. I might stop by a drink in the future, but I doubt it's commit to much beyond that.
