Portions are huge! I shared "The Big Slab" with two other people and we still had leftovers. The Big Slab comes with a full rack of ribs, a corn bread muffin, corn-on-the-cob, and two sides (we go mac-n-cheese and famous fries). We also shared Chili-Roasted Corn Fritters which came with clover honey. The fritters were fried balls of deliciousness and almost tasted like dessert with the honey. It was a nice sweet and savory combination. The ribs were definitely the highlight of the meal. The ribs were very meaty and tender, and were not drenched in BBQ sauce. I wasn't too crazy about the side dishes unfortunately.
Our waiter saw us sampling each of the BBQ sauces before our meal and so he brought us freshly made BBQ chips to help us try the sauces. I must say the chips were some of the best BBQ chips I've ever had. As for the sauces, here's my breakdown:
- Georgia Mustard = tastes like Italian dressing
- Sweet & Zesty = tastes like typical sweet and tangy American BBQ sauce
- Rich and Sassy= a much milder version of Sweet & Zesty
- Texas Pit = tastes like beef jerky seasoning
- Devils Spit = tastes like Texas Pit but with a spicy kick that lingers in your mouth
I actually combined Sweet & Zesty with Devil's Spit to make a sweet but spicy sauce for my ribs. If you're not into sauces, the ribs are good by themselves.
Service is a bit slow here but friendly. I will definitely be paying a visit to my local Famous Dave's in San Jose but I'm glad I made a stop at this location.
