| - This is a review for just the Road Kill Grill - not the butcher. I assume Road Kill Grill should have its own listing but since everyone is posting here about it, I might as well do it too.
So - I read the story on John Curtas's site that Road Kill Grill never existed until DDD made it up for good television. I'm confused as to why that would happen, but I think it's interesting.
Since I've had to be on the North - NW side of town lately I thought I would jet over and try it. I wasn't mostly very impressed with anything I tried, the ribs were dry and the sides were forgettable and I ended up throwing all that stuff away after a few bites. I also want to point out that there is literally not a vegetable based side on the menu.
However, I had the chicken and it was heavenly. I will come back just for this. It had a dry rub, and the BBQ sauce was in a self serve area on the side, which I got a little to taste and was fine. But I prefer a more vinegar based sauce because regular sauce has too much sugar. I did like being able to control whatever sauce I wanted to put on it, as I mostly opted to not have any at all.
So while I can honestly say there's no good BBQ in town, I really did love the chicken here more than others I have tried. This includes Famous Dave's, Lucilles, Buzz, Memphis, etc. I get cravings for it, and I wish they would sell it ala carte on the menu without all those sides.
