| - As Astro, the family dog on "The Jetson's" once said, "Ruh roh, Rorge!"... Sadly, things are not good at Memphis.
I've been a loyal MCB and Mike Mills fan for well over a decade, and I've been regularly eating at various locations of the popular BBQ restaurant in Vegas for at least that long. My recent trip back this week for what was once divine, heavenly BBQ shattered my perception of a longtime favorite.
The place was deserted on a Tuesday night, and unfortunately, now I know why...
God help us all, the BBQ at MCB was NOT good on this visit... And after reading recent Yelp reviews, it appears that management is allowing the once high "Mills" standards to fall. The pork was greasy, stringy, not very flavorful, and not very smoky. The ribs were better than the pork, but still not what they used to be. Stellar meat, no longer...
Service was slow and distracted, at best. Our server even felt so comfortable that he sat at another customer's table for 10 minutes or so, chatting.
My usual sides of turnip greens and red beans and rice have been reduced from a decent size bowl to a tiny cup, but at least they were still delicious, as were the rolls and cinnamon butter.
Mike, if you're listening, get your ass back to Vegas and crack the whip. The Rainbow location has already closed... It would TRULY be a shame to see MCB go down in flames
