| - This is one of those places that I couldn't remember if I had already reviewed or not my review seemingly as memorable as the food. I would have given them a half star (2 1/2 stars total if I could) . I think my Dad, who was a BBQ aficionado said it best when he tasted their ribs... "I've had worse"
I used to come here 1 or 2 times a month, not a great customer to be sure, but better than most I suppose. Never had a problem with the service from the kids behind the counter. While the ribs are ok, to be fair, the cornbread and banana pudding are very good. I say "used to come here" because I won't be back.
They recently expanded their menu, which was well needed, and included fried chicken. I LOVE fried chicken(Can you say Price's Chicken Coop?!?! ) so I was very excited. I tried some of their chicken last week, and was a little disappointed. It was crispy and had a good flavor, but it tasted like it had been hanging around a long time, and again, to be fair I was in there fairly late.
I decided to give them another chance, went in at a more reasonable dinner time around 6 PM. I ordered the 2 piece dark meat dinner that comes with two sides. I asked the young lady if I could get two thighs instead of a leg and a thigh, and she looked absolutely flummoxed. Could I possibly be the only person in Mint Hill to ask this question? She told me she would have to check, then goes and confers with another kid behind the counter and collectively they deliver their verdict.. NO! What? Seriously? How about you charge me extra? "NO..we can't..because...(wait for it) "if we do that we would have more legs than thighs." Unbelievable.
I guess I am glad that business is doing so well for them they can say NO customers on something so silly. She then asks me which two sides I wanted. Images of corn bread and banana pudding flashed by my miffed mind, and I could hear the voice of my dear, departed, mother in my ears..."So, what are you going to do son? Cut your nose off to spite your face?" Why yes, as a mater of fact I am. i said no thanks, no sides, no chicken and walked out.
And that would have probably been the end of it, and I wouldn't be whining in this review but noooooooo. Just as I hit the door I hear that young lady say to me, in the most smarmy voice...."Have a nice day!" You know the voice,, the one that tries to make you look like an a**hole when you say "She told me to have a nice day!" Smarmy, syrupy, just oozing with insincerity. It was totally uncalled for as I was not the least bit dick-ish to her.
So, long review short..ribs mediocre, chicken mediocre, sides mediocre (Except the cornbread and banana pudding :-) 1 douche behind the counter 2 1/2 stars
