Not really a fan although I keep giving it the ole college try! I mean... I really really want to like it. I mean... Hello? They are super close to my house and they even have a super convenient drive thru. Not to mention all of the awards they have won. It's just not great. Don't get me wrong... It's ok. Just not wanting me to come back for more. About every six months or so I end up back. That's about when the memory of the disappointment of the last experience is but a mere memory. That's what happened again tonight...
In an emergency last minute situation, I found myself house/dog sitting for a friend in my neighborhood. So I found myself wanting a substantial meal yet after a long day at work I didn't particularly wanna try to navigate a foreign kitchen. So for the pure sake of convenience I found myself running through their drive thru. It's obvious it had been awhile and the regret from last time had faded.
I was overly zealous and ordered three meat combo so that I would have enough to bring to work for lunch the next couple of days. I got the baby back ribs, pulled pork and brisket. For sides I ordered collard greens and the mac n cheese.
So let's start with the highlights shall we???
Mac n cheese was solid. Nothing particularly memorable but still delish. Baby back ribs were also pretty tasty and tender.. What really stood out was the collards. They weren't the watery/funky/musky that are found at most places. They had a great balance of vinegar without going overboard. Pleasant surprise!
Pulled pork... Decent. Also not memorable.
Brisket... Blah. Dry dry dry. Even when doused with sauce. Let's just say that part of tomorrow's planned lunch went to the dogs I'm sitting.
Will I go again? Probably at some point when the memory fades to black again. Just because of the pure convenience of the proximity and the drive thru. If I have time to sit down, not so much.
