| - Hubby was dying for trying Lucille's and we were nearby... And, though it was Saturday night, it was early enough.... So I said "why not?" ... Two words I will forever regret now.
Instant seating, and then the host walked us through the restaurant & out the back door, then through all of the patio seating to a table next to the front door. Brilliant! We should have kept walking... (sigh)
Hubby's sweet tea wasn't, so he added sugar... And the biscuits & apple butter were seriously nom. The 1/2 appetizer platter sounded like a good solution to appetizer confusion, but it was... Boring. Almost everything was fried & needed salt to have any flavor. They even managed to make Fried Green Tomatoes boring, which was a big disappointment since I LOVE FGT. Sad.
Entrees eventually arrived. Mine was the center cut pork chop, billed as juicy & flavorful - two lies right there. It was a thick cut hockey puck, totally inedible. The accompanying vegetables were cold, the garlic mashed potatoes had no flavor anywhere, but the whiskey-apples were tasty. Hubby had the Back Porch trio, baby back ribs, briscuit & chicken. All of it was dry but the flavor was good on the chicken & ribs. His sides were baked beans (tasty) and peanut slaw (tasteless).
Our server, Art, offered to remove my entree from the bill so it came to about $50 for the two of us.
The best part? Hubby saying he never wants to eat there again, because I totally agree.
