| - I saw this place as I was driving to the library the other day. Today, my wife & I decided to give it a try...we were bored of Buckeye's other offerings. We were immediately pleased when google turned up their website (which offers a nice background story, menu, & contact info). We called & ordered our food to go.
Here is a run down of what we got & how we liked it...
Chopped pork sandwich - tender smoky pork shoulder, with just enough sweet/smoky sauce, on a nice size bun - very very tasty, not a hint of fat chunks in the pork, juicy, delicious.
Hot link sandwich - thinly sliced hot links smothered in spicy bbq sauce, served in a styro container with white bread on the side - quite nice, a little spicy, great sauce, fun to build your own sandwich with the bread, felt very "back yard cook out."
Fries - reminiscent of Wendy's - very good & cooked perfectly.
BBQ Chicken - drenched in bbq sauce but not suffocating the flavor of the chicken, a full half bird - tender, juicy, great portion, tasted great with the sauce.
Pork Ribs - 3 bones served as part of a combo with the chicken - falling right off the bone, smoky, tender, nice spice combined with the taste of the sweet/smoky sauce.
Potato Salad - perfect consistency, not mushy, creamy, veggies still a bit crunchy, didn't taste store bought (though may have been) - yum.
Beans - dark bbq style beans, sweet & spicy with a little smokiness, studded with delectable morsels of pork - I could eat a bowl of these alone with some corn bread & be completely satisfied.
As you can tell, we rather enjoyed this new little joint. It actually made me stop missing Famous Dave's back in Chandler, and that's saying something. They've got great flavor & give out huge portions, at a fair price. They definitely have the down home feeling nailed. We will surely be going back. It's funny to think that with all the new commercial development going up near the freeway, we'd find a gem back in old downtown. Highly recommended!
