| - I dunno, maybe I was off-put when they fished two vac-pack racks of ribs out of a hot water bath and then served them up, but that began the downward spiral for me.
We had an Entertainment coupon that gave us a rack free for up to $22, so I kinda thought inasmuch as it was a modified cafeteria style service in which one ordered then paid then hauled one's food to a table, that we'd skate out for maybe $25 or $30 bucks.
Somewhat nonplussed by the fact that the $25 bucks for a slab included no sides, and left me hauling off the food, I forgot to order drinks and we each got only one side and yet it was almost $40, and I was hauling my own food around and fetching my own plastic silverware and thirsty to boot.
Call me old-fashioned but if I'm getting second-class service,even if I am the one providing same, I kinda expect second-class prices knowhatimean?
The green beans were great, the wife enjoyed her mini-Caesar salad, the ribs were ok, but lacked the smoke-flavor I was seeking, (perhaps they spent too much time in the water-bath), however I am not a good waiter so the service kinda bit. Don't get me wrong the guys at the counter were fine, it was my own performance that bit. I fully admit that it's been eons since I've purchased ribs in a restaurant, but the last time I did, methinks it was for under $25 bucks and that a waiter brought them to me. Granted meat prices seem to have risen by 25% in the last six months, but still.....
We were there on a Sunday noonish and the parking lot was as abandoned as could be, ours was the only occupied table in the place, so it's possible that others have quietly hopped on my bandwagon before I even launched the damn thing!
It would require a bit of persuasion to get me back.
