| - I've had my eye on this place, and have been anticipating their opening. I was really excited about the opening, and really in the mood for some bbq. Because who doesn't love bbq, right? Exactly!
We went on opening day, which I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to do or not. But we threw caution to the wind, and took a chance. One would like to think that when you have a grand opening you'd be ready for anything, and everything, because well you're prepared. Chandler BBQ Co, was not.
We got there around 630ish right before a rush of people showed up. I wouldn't normally pick chicken over beef for my choice of bbq sandwich, but well yes they were out of what they call "the cow" their beef brisket. You pay $6.99 for the bbq sandwich, the pig, the cow, or the bird. With that you get a choice of one side, and cornbread. I chose cole slaw for my side. The place was packed. They were selling large drinks for 30 cents. That was really cool. I thought w/ the side and sandwich and cornbread that it was more than a fair price.
Like Mike H had said I too cannot stand when the order line is butt to butt with diners. For this reason alone I would never dine in, this would always be to go. Other than that the inside was fine, just small.
It didn't take very long for us to get our food, and I knew I should have taken this as a warning sign when the old man who got his food right before me came up to the counter and had to ask the girl if what he has is cole slaw. The girl behind the counter said yes, the old man replied "because it doesn't look like it" I was already kind of regretting that I chose the slaw, but I stuck by my choice. That became a regret later.
The 30 cent large soda was a nice peace offering considering there was no ice, oh and no large lids. When I was able to get the girls attention who gave me my order I told her they were out of large lids. She went to the back for a minute or two, I waited, she came back with nothing. We decided to say screw it and tossed one of the sodas, because who can drive with a large soda and no lid w/o it getting everywhere.
We get home and, before I take a bite of my sandwich I open up the cole slaw. Oh my gosh, you have got to be kidding me I'm looking at a bowl of water with an obscene amount of dill floating on top. I dared to take a bite, and it was so disgusting. I can't imagine that it's supposed to be that way. But, I will never try their slaw again. I knew I should of changed it up when the guy next to me said it didn't look like slaw. Oh, and apparently they were out of cornbread as well because neither of us got any. The chicken was ok, but not much else, a little dry even.
Sad to say this was the most disorganized, disappointing grand opening of a restaurant I've ever experienced. It's going to be a long time before I go back to this place and spend my hard earned money for a par for the course meal. Please get it together. I really wanted to give it 2 1/2 stars.
