| - The Entourage were extremely hungry when we picked Lou Dawgs as our venue.
The fact that we were hungry should mean we were going to be less discriminating with the review. Sadly, that was not the case.
We got there around dinner time on a Sunday, and was shock to find the place deserted. There were only one other table, and they were finishing up so we were the only table during the whole meal.
The decor was casual, what you would expect a bbq place to look like.
Unfortunately, the service was not as warm or inviting as the decor.
The waitress took quite a while before acknowledging us although she didn't appear to be busy with anything in particular. After standing around, we just sat ourselves at a table and waited for her to come by.
Our brisket sandwich, was overly saucy, to the point where we were not able to taste or feel the texture of the brisket.
The pull pork were not as saucy as the brisket, but it was dry and stringy.
We were surprise to find the portions were quite small in relation to the price.
While I would not classify this as expensive, other BBQ places often have larger portions.
The sides were extras, but they served the sandwiches on a big basket, which further emphasis the smaller portion.
We ordered a poutine and found it also didn't satisfy our starch craving. Their version had very little cheese and the gravy didn't have the thickness to coat the fries. While the fries were hot, the gravy was not. These cheese curd
All the sandwiches were barely room temperature when they got to the table. Unfortunately, we were too hungry to noticed until after the meal.
The only positive on this outing were the buns that the sandwiches were served on. Since were were not there to eat bread, this was not enough to save the meal.
Not sure if we just picked an off day to visit, or is this the new norm for this place.
Based on our experience, we will not be going back.
