| - "TC says, the best way to a person's heart, is through the ribs."
I LOVE that quote and love that it's written on the bottom of your receipt. I wouldn't know whether or not the ribs would take my heart, but I do know that the pulled pork sammie was pretty delish.
I originally went because of The Desert Companion's "DEALicious meals" article. In it it said there was a $4.99 lunch special: a Jr. Sammie and a side, can't beat that! SO off I went, walking distance from my work, and FINALLY decided to try this "World Famous" BBQ.
When I walked into this establishment on a lovely Saturday afternoon I realized, UGH! Lunch specials are only for Monday-Friday. Oh well, I'm already here and the tiny little restaurant is very homey, sporting pictures of, what I hope is, TC's family. This sort of establishment always makes me want to come back to support, especially with the really friendly staff they have on hand.
I ordered, as I mentioned before, the Pulled Pork Sammie with ....deep fried jalapenos! Whoo-wee. I don't even like jalapenos, but I just HAD to try these.
My fellow diner ordered the brisket sammie and the sweet potato fries that everyone raves about.
We had them both "home style," which meant it had some really good slaw on top.
The verdict:
My sammie: s'mazin'. I really enjoyed the sandwich and wouldn't mind coming back for the lunch meal and ordering the Jr. as this sammie is pretty filling.
The OTHER sammie: Not nearly as good as mine, it was a little tougher and less flavorful.
I wouldn't have the sammies without the slaw, I believe it cost an extra 50 cents, but it's worth it.
The jalapenos: These little babies were pretty darn good. I wouldn't order them again though, jalapenos just aren't my thing.
Sweet potato fries: Ok, what's up with these? Everyone LOVES them....I think they tasted like straight oil and were a little under cooked, and old. Poo.
Over all, it was A-OK. I would totally return for the lunch menu...but that's probably it...Oh and to try the ribs....with a name like The Rib Crib...you just gotta try them....
