Stopped by here on my way home to grab some food for the roommate and so I could steal a taste.
This place popped up out of no where. This particular building has had at least 4 places in it since I've lived in the area. Seems to be one of those cursed locations.
The location is nice inside looks like someone did some renovations recently. It is littered with big flat panel tvs. Would be a great place to catch a game. The dining room has 3 and the bar area had 6. That's a lot of game in yer face!
Apparently they have a free buffet a few times a week during happy hour.
Onto the food!
Ribs:
So really we just wanted to try out the food. We didn't want a full rack of ribs. So I opted for something on the menu called "Rib Bones." These are basic the odd shaped misfits that aren't pretty enough to go into the full or half racks.
I did like them. They were nice and naturally smokey, didn't detect any liquid smoke in there. They were however very dry :( Now this could be one of a few things. They were either overcooked which I don't think was the case. It could be that they were closing in an hour and seem to not be super busy yet so stock isn't turning over. Or it could be that since they were odd shaped they end up a little more cooked/dry then the regular ribs. In hindsight this was probably not the best way to try the ribs. My frugal side got the best of me.
Hotlinks:
These were pretty darn tasty. They were nice and spicy and very salty. Maybe a little to salty but hotlinks are always like that.
The hostess was very sweet and did a lot of custom pricing for me to sample some things when that isn't something they have on the menu.
As of now I give this place 3 stars. I feel like they probably deserve more but until I get to try the regular ribs and some of the other things this is where it stands. I did overhear one table raving about how good their meal was. This is a good sign at least.
Someone who has much more leeway in their diet please go give this a try! If this is decent BBQ we could use more of that in this city. They will have a hard enough time staying open in that cursed building even if they are great :)
Support the locals!
