| - I was excited to try this place, a new neighborhood BBQ joint. I figured they must have a great signature seasoning/dry rub or maybe a great sauce - neither was the case. Disappointing.
When I walked in I thought I was entering a bar, since thats all you see at the entrance. Then I looked over and saw the tables set up in a dining area. I was greeted by a nice gentleman and he seated me quickly. Good start, unfortunately it went downhill from there. Eventually, my server wandered over to my table and took my drink order. I had been waiting a while so I already knew what I wanted to order, but ordering would have to wait.
I figured I'd try the ribs to experience whatever Stacy's claim to fame would be. When the server finally came back, (there were only 3 other tables being served besides mine) I asked her how many ribs come with the half slab. She looked confused and said "it depends." It depends? Really? I ultimately ordered the half slab ($14 and no side items come with that, BTW) and waited anxiously. And waited. (Guys, your ribs are already cooked, it shouldn't take a long time to get a half slab out.)
When my dinner finally arrived, I found out that a half slab is 6 ribs (over $2 per rib - and no sides, remember?) - not a great deal, but that's fine if they taste good. I will say, the ribs seemed to be good quality. They weren't too fatty and you could definitely taste the smoked flavor. That's where the positives end. There was no great seasoning or dry rub. So I tried the sauce - maybe that's where I'd be wow'd. Nope. It wasn't bad, but nothing special. Tasted like a grocery store sauce.
I finished my 6 ribs with no sides and waited again. My server never even checked back with me. When she finally came back I handed her a $20 and couldn't wait to leave. My total bill was over $18 for 6 ribs and a soda. That's seems a bit high for a "nice restaurant" much less a neighborhood place like Stacy's. To be fair, I could have ordered side items at $3+ each - so I guess I could have paid even more and been slightly more satisfied.
Bottom line - I only tried one entree so I can't judge the entire menu, but I don't think I will be back to try the rest. The food was average at best, and the value wasn't there. If the service was better, I probably would have given 3 stars, but this server basically treated me as a burden rather than a customer. Disappointing.
