| - A while back we used to like Memphis BBQ until we had the BBQ at Famous Dave's. We've been to the other location at Blue Diamond several times. We came here on sunday (our 1st visit to this location) to cash in on a birthday coupon promotion- buy one entree, get one free (join the club online). We requested a booth. There is a ton of seating here (several dining rooms) and there is ample parking as well. There was a pretty good lunch crowd here; also family-friendly. This location used to be a steakhouse but the chain failed and closed up shop.
All tables come equipped with salt, pepper, ketchup, a roll of paper towel, some menus and the five signature sauces- rich and sassy (my favorite), devil's spit (very hot), georgia mustard (vinegar based), sweet and zesty (another good one), and texas pit (tomato based). We forgot which ones we liked so we sampled them all.
On the back of the menu, there is a set of daily early bird specials, so that's what we ordered- the two meat special that came with one side and a corn bread muffin, and we opted for an extra side for $2.29. (After our drinks came, we got a small salted and seasoned freshly made chips.) I chose the brisket and the roasted chicken while my husband got the chopped pork and brisket (said that there was some fatty pieces and that the skin made it crunchy, so he will not order this again). There was very little fat on the brisket which was a good thing (I always cut the fat off everything). Several slices with some sauce topped a single slice of soft white bread (I took a bite but didn't finish it). The chicken (breast and wing) was really good, moist, not overdone, though I didn't finish it. For my sides, I chose the mac & cheese (hint of jalapenos) and the fries (thick, skin-on, crisp). The mac & cheese was excellent. I liked the fries too, not greasy and mushy. I gave some fries to my husband. My husband got the mac & cheese and coleslaw. I took my corn muffin home to eat later. We'd been craving BBQ and this really hit the spot.
Service was really good. Both our drinks, and food came out pretty quickly. Our server came to check on us several times, and gave us refills without us asking (love that). He was also helpful when it came to the menu, we had questions on the heat of the mac & cheese (my husband can take a hint but not much).
We want to come back soon for the advertised special, the Que for Two @ $19.99- such a great value.
