| - Woe what? I haven't reviewed one of my favorite pits to find delicious ribs yet? Where was I? Well let's get started. Anyone who knows the history of the Bar B Barns knows that it was opened during the year of the expo and they never renovated since then. Most of the original wait staff still works there today (kidding about the wait staff part). Now you don't go there for the ambiance and the ridiculously disgusting and horrible décor. You go there for one thing and one thing alone, THE RIBS. Everything else is passé and not very tasty and really, who the fuck cares, you're here for the ribs remember? Like the Metallica song goes... and nothing else matters.
See you don't get those tiny baby back ribs from Scores here. Here you get the option of either the Baby Hawg (3 ribs), The Half Hawg (6 ribs) and the insane Full Hawg (9 ribs). Now yer thinking, at Scores I gets me 24 baby back ribs, hows this any good? Well it's 3 large meaty ribs straight from Hog Heaven. Trust me when I say; "I can eat" and the Baby Hawg combo is plenty of grub for this foodie. Comes with fries (which look like crinkle cut McCain fries), one or two crunchy onion ring, and a side of tomatoey rice, bun and a soft drink. The fries are average; the rice thing is sometimes edible but those ribs... those ribtastic delicious pieces of candied pig on a bone. It's the most wonderful thing. Have had better ribs? Hell yeah. But these ribs are cooked for, I think, 12 or more hours and slathered with an applesauce based BBQ sauce and that's the winner. When I say candied pig, I wasn't kidding. These suckers are cooked for ever and the BBQ sauce is literally candied into the pork. You eat these babies dry, no sauce, no nothin' because they are as perfect as they get.
In the end everything else could stand some serious improvement. How about hand cut fries? Or a real crunchy slaw? How about a coat of fucking paint on those shitty walls? But the deliciously awesome ribs make up for all those flaws. IT'S RIBS, MAN!
