pretty good ribs and sides. although i think the platter prices are a bit high. good prices on just meats though. so you could just purchase a whole rack and make your own sides at home. I am still on the fence about which sauce i like the best. so cant really help in that department. daughter and myself got the whole slab platter and split it since it comes with 2 sides. and purchased and extra drink, got the small drink since its a self serve station.
