| - I would give it 1 star, but the corn bread saved it and bumped it to a 2star... so I guess it's really a 1.5 that's been bumped to a 2.
I'm not sure how much all the other reviewers had to drink before rating the food here, but it's definitely NOT top notch BBQ. I was hoping based on other reviews that I would be able to rave about finding another hole in the wall with amazing food, but alas...
The BBQ ribs were dry, the jerk rubs was too salty to eat, and the water tasted like drinking the swimming pool water. I ordered the turkey ribs (recommended by the waitress as the best thing on the menu) and the pork ribs- they were both dry as heck. The jerk seasoning could have been good, but it was so salty that I couldn't eat the ribs without scraping it off. The corn bread was amazingly good, and the side of fries were very well seasoned and delicious. But it's a sad day when the star of the meal is a side of fries and corn bread. I also ordered a soda when I realized that I couldn't drink the waster, but the soda also tasted unusually foul. I ended up deciding that it must be something about the water, and the soda was maybe ruined with the ice. So I got a bottle of Heineken and enjoyed it.
You won't find me coming back here, not unless it's just for a bottled beer.

Explanation of my rating system -
5*: Epitome of something, the best I've had, would LOVE to go back
4*: Great food and happy to go back regularly, but not the best of the category
3*: Food is fine. I may spontaneously decide to go there based on convenience. But no need to go back either.
2*: If you insist. I guess I'll come along if someone wants to go. But I wouldn't have picked it.
1*: No plans to come back. I'll try to talk companions out of going. If they insist, I may come and not eat, or may just see them some other time.
