| - Once again, I find myself wanting to like this place but after reading a few recent reviews I see that my view of this place is shared by several others. Namely, the place looks a little run-down and worn. Granted this place seems to be busy but I agree that the quality of the food was lacking even though we had very good service from our waiter Sam. I had the baby back ribs, my wife had the half-and-half, and my nephew had the pulled pork. My baby back ribs were just ok, and the only sauces they make are a little out of the ordinary, yet tasty. My complaints were in the general quality of the meats, and the tenderness of the meats were lacking. We all commented that the ribs (which should be fall off the bone or at least very tender) were something that required a knife. The sauces, (which I'm used to mild, medium, hot, etc.) were a lineup of sweet-hot, regular and regular flavored with cajun seasoning. This didn't appear to be a good lineup for me as I favor really hot spicy BBQ sauces (and I don't like "sweet"), like the kind Westport BBQ would provide in KC. Additionally, none of us were "wowed" by the side dishes. The potato salad wasn't flavorful, the coleslaw was too mayonaisy, and the baked beans were just so-so.
Sam our waiter was very kind and did a nice job of waiting on us but I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. I prefer Bobby Q's so far for this type of fare in the valley.
