| - I have lived in 11 states in my lifetime ranging from Boston, Virginia, Chicago, Central Illinois by St. Louis, New Orleans to Central Texas, and my family is from Nebraska, and have been to the contiguous 48 states. I LOVE MY BBQ! I have also been cooking in restaurants for 25 years. I still think that Tony Roma's may still have the best Baby Back ribs. Yes, I said it even if it nullifies my review!. Tony Roma's out of all the hidden gem Ma and Pa places that I have been too in Memphis, New Orleans, Fort Worth, KC, still provides fall-off-the-bone ribs with consistency every time!!!! LOL.
My wife and I work hard, so most nights we are not wanting to cook and get delivery! We are missing New Orleans since both of us have lived in that region, so why not get some Bar-BEE-cue to indulge in and have leftovers for the next day. Okay, Bill Johnsons it is since that is what we can get delivered.
After spending nearly $60.00 to tantalize our addiction to a feasty pork feast (yeah, that made some of you squirmish), I was really disappointed! OMG is an understatement! How can you go wrong with any barbeque-smoked stuff?
What we ordered was a Smokehouse Sampler, Trailboss Dinner and a Cobb Salad. It was a feast for any two people with leftovers for work the next day. Their BBQ sauce is the St. Louis type you usually get, but tasted more like Arby's Sauce watered down. Is there Big Apple in it, I don't know. It was very bland and nothing that was impressive at all. I would put it at the bottom 3 bbq's that I've ever tasted.
The sides were delicious! Mac n cheese, garlic mashed and Baked potato were fabulous, but the portions were very small in to-go cups. I've had better baked beans in a can, though, and wish they would add some of their smoky fixins in them to liven it up. Come on, have two types if you're wanting to please everyone at least. Bummed out!
The ribs were the worst I have ever had! They tasted fishy to me and I had to pull the meat off the bone so hard that I thought all of my crowns were going to come off! I know there are different types of ribs, but why did it taste like fish and so chewy? The brisket had a lot of fat on them, which made my wife lose her appetite immediately. Don't you know to trim this after it smokes? I have to say the pulled pork was delicious, but the sauce ruined them.
The only thing my wife liked was the chicken. The cobb salad was okay, but the smoked ham was the thing that I could taste and was satisfied filling on the cobb salad and sides, not the barbeque stuff. I liked the smoked ham!
All in all, maybe we had the wrong things at this place, but I won't waste my money on this place ever again. Also, where is the cornbread? This place needs to go try other barbecue places and see what makes them unique. That is what makes these places unique. I also couldn't purchase sides and wanted to try some of their other sides since that was the only good thing we had. Try again on your recipe for the sauce. Sorry guys, but very disappointed.
