Anyone familiar with Sonny's BBQ (a southern chain) will immediately notice the similarity. This is not a good thing.
Salad bar was ok. Not a lot of great variety.
I had the 1/2 rack of ribs with slaw and fries.
The slaw and fries were fine. Nothing special but not bad.
The garlic bread, soaked in buttery garlic, also was fine. Probably the best part of the meal.
The ribs, on the other hand, could use some work.
First, they were covered in SO MUCH SAUCE, that I had to hold them up to let some drip off. Sauce should provide an accent to good BBQ, not be the BBQ.
Second, the doneness of the meat varied across the ribs. One rib was fall of bone. Further down, it was closer to jerky.
All in all, not a great BBQ experience.
