| - Daaaaaaamn!!
All of the ranting and raving over this place is not exaggerated. The ribs are that good!
I knew we were in good shape as soon as I drove up to the place and saw what a dive it is. I'm firmly convinced that barbecue should only be eaten in a place that looks like it might fall down, in a neighborhood that's suspect, and bonus points if there is some sort of cartoon pig involved!
The french fries are very VERY sad, frankly they are an insult to the rest of the dinner and should never be put on a plate, likewise the slices of dry, bland cornbread loaf, the onion rings are pedestrian, frozen and prefab, but acceptable, the creamy style coleslaw is solid, the pit Style beans are truly outstanding, tender and definitely freshly-made, but the ribs, oh Lord the ribs!
Anyone who knows BBQ knows that ribs are not supposed to "fall off the bone", and they're not supposed to be boiled, or waterlogged and mushy, they're supposed to be tender and lightly smokey, with a nice caramelized crust of dry rub plus a little sauce finished over fire, and these ribs live up to the billing on all fronts!
And with a full rack of Memphis style side ribs plus all the trimmings coming in at only $22 bucks, you absolutely cannot go wrong! Just opt for the onion rings and not the ridiculous supermarket McCain crispy fries and you are good to go!
Also, don't look like a rookie getting a pulled pork sandwich, or god forbid, a burger, get some ribs!
ENJOY!!
