Had their food at a BBQ competition and it was great, so I was dying to take my boyfriend there. Finally took him there tonight- big mistake.
First, I ordered a miller lite- they were out. A Sierra Nevada. Out. Got a Mecktoberfest. My boyfriend ordered a half rack & fried pickles, I ordered a brisket sandwich with fried green tomatoes. We were pumped.
I noticed one table sent his food back because it was cold. At another table, one person got their entree 7 minutes after their table mate. I thought, so the service is slow and surely- a joint in Memphis is KNOWN for that. I dismissed the lack of beer as a poorly timed shipment. I was wrong.
The ribs looked gleaming and awesome. The sauce was great. The ribs were meaty, but cold. Not cool, not room temperature. Like just taken out of the fridge cold. The brisket appeared to have been sliced by a kindergartener. The meat was so fatty- none of the fat had been trimmed prior to cooking and the smoking process had not rendered the fat out. The green tomatoes were sliced so thickly that despite being deep fried, they were totally raw. Brought the meat home for the dogs- on the up side, the dogs seemed to really like it.
They gave us a voucher for a free meal, but we will just give it away. Also- saw at the BBQ comp that their sweet biscuits are Pillsbury biscuits (like the kind from the tube) torn up and deep fried.
Myron Mixon and Tuffy Stone would not be impressed.
