| - My friends recommended this place for a lunch date so we went and I was expecting good things.
We went on a Friday for lunch so when we got there, there was only one couple eating in. We were able to sit down and order quickly. The interior isn't anything amazing - a simple storefront where right when you walk in, you're faced with the counter where you order and to your left is most of the seating area - tables and a couple of booths that, in total, seat max about 15-20. But you aren't here for the atmosphere - you're here for good eats.
I ordered a mini combo ($15.95)- 3 bones of ribs, 1/2 lb of wings, fries, coleslaw, beans and cornbread. When it arrived, I wondered how I would finish the meal but, after the first few bites of the ribs and the wings, I knew it would be a delicious challenge.
The sauce I got on the wings was their Signature BBQ. I think this was my favourite - crispy, juicy, and big in flavour, I had to pace myself from finishing all of them at once.
The ribs were good - nice, soft, and tender. While not exactly fall off the bones, they were delicious and seasoned and rubbed with a good amount of spices and sauce. The ribs actually reminded me of ribs my family would make so I was expecting something different from Big Bone - something that couldn't be duplicated. However, their ribs are still delicious and I would recommend them.
The sides - fries, cornbread, beans, and coleslaw were all really good. Fries reminded me a bit of Costco fries, the cornbread was a bit bland and drier than I expected, the beans were sweet and delicious though might not be for everyone, and the coleslaw was yummy - not too sour but light and creamy.
It was definitely a great experience and I would come here again and will recommend it to friends and family. The best part about the end is that, although you'll end up consuming a huge amount of food, you aren't left with a greasy and bloated feeling. I especially loved their wings and coleslaw (which I usually do not find myself liking). Big Bone has a Monday special where you can get a rack of ribs and a pound of wings and one large side for $25 - a great dinner option for the fam! I will be coming back!
