| - Sunday cravings for southern BBQ brought my boyfriend and I here for dinner last night.
What we ate:
- Smoked Baby Back Ribs Dinner (Stack size - full ribs) with Chipotle JD BBQ sauce ($30) - comes with smoky molasses beans, slaw and fresh cut fries/mash potatoes. Substitutions were granted; we replaced the fresh cut fries/mash potatoes with a garden salad instead. Ribs were absolutely delicious, the meat wasn't overly saucy and every piece had fall off the bone meat. We went with the server's recommendation of Chipotle BBQ sauce; sauce was smoky in flavor and incredibly mouthwatering.
- Half Pound Texas Brisket Dinner with Carolina Sauce (mild spicy) ($18) - also comes with smoky molasses beans, slaw and fresh cut fries/mash potatoes. The proteins comprised of four generous slices of Brisket lightly drizzled in Carolina Sauce, another one of the server's recommendations. The Carolina sauce is mildly smoky with a little spicy kicker at the end. My boyfriend who doesn't usually do spice would agree with me and say the Carolina sauce is approximately a 2/5 on the spice meter.
Summary:
Food (10/10) - Stack has their southern smoking on point. Protein and side portions were generous and food was brought out in a respectable time.
Service (9/10) - Would have liked our waters topped up more frequently, but otherwise our server was friendly and well versed with his sauce recommendations.
Atmosphere (10/10) - Family friendly, big tables and booths, roomy restaurant, 2 levels of seating available, open kitchen for viewing pleasure.
ProTip: Entertainment - Ask to speak to Tim, the Manager if you want to hear the story about the man who regularly orders the Ultimate Platter (feeds 3-5) with a side of fried Donuts for one... yes, I said for One. Also ask about his record breaking consumption of the Stack Challenge in under 13 minutes.
Eat here.
