| - New to town and I've really been wanting to explore Chambana's food scene. I come from a fantastic food scene in Salt Lake. Oh you didn't know that? It's actually our hidden little secret. SL isn't historically known for the BBQ, but I've had my fair share of wonderful smoked, barbecued, and grilled meats.
My wife (and 10 week old) left pleasantly surprised that we found a four-star BBQ place here and mentioned we'd be returning sometime in the near future. It was a Friday night after 7, so not super busy, but it had a good crowd of families and some couples' date nights.
Ambience/fell: You stand in line cafeteria style, with relatively small menus along the wall to be ready for your order up at the upgraded cafeteria bar. As you order, they put a few quickly served items on your red tray and a couple plastic name tents on their for anything that'll be served in a few quick minutes after you sit. The line went pretty quick (about 15 people=7 minutes), giving us a time to look over the moderate-priced, moderately sized foods (it does give a single $ under the name). There are plenty of items in the $4-$7/8 range, but some impressive-looking ribs and other cuts of meat in 'plates' (+2 sides) for about $12-$15.
My meal: I got the pulled pork sandwich. It was good. The pork wasn't seasoned to taste, but moderately juicy and absorbed the sauce well. I thought I'd take him up on the mix of spicy and not spicy BBQ sauce - the sandwich came smothered in it (messy, but just the right amount of sauce in my opinion) on a soft bun. The portion was plenty for my moderately hungry appetite, but I was definitely over it by the last few bites.
Sides: I added sweet potato fries (we love SP fries, and the friendly regular in front of us said he doesn't get anything else) and were looking for another appetizing side. The 'server' or worker gentleman recommended the mashed potatoes since I said my wife wanted to stay away from spice - I guess the Ranch Beans "have a little kick." Needless to say, you don't go to a BBQ place for the fries and mashed potatoes. SP fries were significantly overcooked and slightly burnt and the mashed potatoes were a step above KFC's - perhaps a bit like a cracker-barrel style with a scant amount of light brown gravy.
Wife's meal: My wife ordered the pork nachos. And we actually really, really liked the nachos. When we return, that's definitely going to be a repeat. The chips taste homemade, crispy and flavorful and are smothered in pinto beans (with juices), a plentiful helping of pork, and this really yummy queso sauce (kind of tastes like the queso dip from Chili's). Everything was really well dispersed too, which doesn't always happen at places. If we were more shameless, we would've licked the plate clean.
Sorry for the long post, but hopefully it helps.
