| - BBQ is probably the most subjective of foods to judge. In my book Stacy's is the real deal. Ordered pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw and asked if they had cobber which they did, peach. Those 3 items are always my first order at new place.
I've made 14-20 hour pork shoulder and what I was served was 100% perfect pulled pork. The bun was perfect, good quality bread, toasted. The meat was super hot, probably out of the microwave...but that's perfectly OK. It just isn't reasonable to think you're going to roll into a BBQ place and expect right out of the cooker pulled pork. The real art is how you keep the perfect between the time it comes out of the cooker until it's served. And Stacy nailed. Other than that super hot microwave give away the pulled pork looked and tasted like right out of the cooker. Can't ask for more. And this wasn't ground up shredded pork. It was a mix of some nice chunks...actual "pulled". Portion wasn't crazy big, but I'd say big.
The pork didn't need any sauce...cause it was good by itself, but did add a little of the mild sauce. It's a sweet red sauce. There were a couple of hot sauce choices too which I didn't try.
I found no chunks of fat, wasn't greasy, wasn't dry, wasn't overly seasoned as most of the favor came from actual slow cooking. Flawless.
Coleslaw varies a lot, depends on your taste. I loved Stacy's coleslaw. It's the mayo creamy type. Wasn't soggy, wasn't too crisp, it was just right. It was their small size and it was plenty.
I didn't see the cobber on the menu or chalkboard so had to ask. It was a large portion and was real made on site cobber, not frozen whatever from the restaurant supply. Again, clobber varies a lot. This had lots of gooey, lots of sauce and plenty of peaches which were probably from a can, but good quality. Again, I don't mind one bit if the peaches weren't flown in from Argentina that morning. They were very good quality. There was a taste in the clobber I didn't like a lot, not sure what it was. But that's just my taste, you might love it. I certainly ate all of mine. I might even order it again so it wasn't really a problem.
Ambiance...yup, not the Four Seasons. Perfect though for a BBQ place, don't change a thing.
Service was surprisingly a bit slow. I was the only one in the place at 1pm om a Tues. The pulled pork and coleslaw has to be pre-made. So the bun had to be toasted.. It was probably only 5-10 minutes, but still surprised it took that long. It might be they don't want to bring it out in 1 minute to keep some illusion that they slowed cooked a 15 lbs pork shoulder just for me, in 5 minutes. But, for all I know they did need that time to get the pork into shape because it was perfect as I said.
Coke, no Pepsi. I had a Dr Pepper for $2.50, a little steep but not crazy, and the waitress did bring me a refill. Pulled pork sandwich was $8 which I thought was actually on the cheap side for what I got. Coleslaw is normally $2 but for free during the lunch special. The cobber must have been about $5 which was reasonable as it would be plenty for 2 people.
And I can walk there.
