| - Visited 5/27/12...
So was craving BBQ. What would be better than that on Memorial Day Weekend.
Went with two other friends. Had heard this place had recently opened and my friend had heard by rumor mill it was good.
First, I don't give much stake to reviews. I am the type of person that has to try it myself to believe it. However, in this case the reviews that reflect the 2 Star rating are extremely accurate.
They had half priced appetizers. We had an order of the Red Neck Tacos. Pulled Pork with Jalapeno slaw over corn cakes. These were probably the best thing we ordered. Although the Pulled Pork was much like my main order, see below..
Had 3 Meat meal with Pulled Pork, Brisket and Baby Backs. Baby Backs are a 1/4 slab. It came with 4. So I had to research to learn that a Full Slab is considered about 16 Ribs. However, these were very small, for whatever that is worth. Another friend had 3 Meat with Chicken. In all cases, the four available meat choices were dry and over cooked. Baby Backs, the meat was falling off the bone - over cooked. The rub was extremely salty and overpowered any meat taste, smoke taste and BBQ Sauce. Brisket, dry. Chicken, dry, Pulled Pork was probably the best of the 4 meats - dry. The BBQ sauces are lacking. One that I still don't know what it was supposed to be, another a little spicier and there regular.
A third friend stuck with his own order of Red Neck Tacos and then a side of Mac & Cheese. This side was really pretty good. Maybe the second best thing we had.
I was extremely disappointed.
It is not open for lunch, which is maybe the only other time I might try to return for a sandwich. Otherwise, there are way too many other locations that serve better BBQ than this.
If you are thinking about it, don't do what I do... Trust some of the reviews and maybe move on.
