| - My girlfriend and I were in the mood for some BBQ since we hadn't had any great ribs since summer 2010. After reading the reviews here, we decided to try it out. We were definitely not disappointed.
We went at about 3PM on a Wednesday, so needless to say, it was pretty empty (post-lunch, pre-dinner hours). The staff was very friendly and the blues music in the background was at a very comfortable level (it was mostly Stevie Ray Vaughn, fyi).
We ordered a special they have which lets 2 people eat for $20. It included 3 meats, 2 sides, 2 rolls, and 2 desserts. We had the ribs and brisket, then asked the waitress to choose the 3rd based on what she thought was the best. Winds up, she chose the pulled pork. It was all excellent and cooked perfectly.
There were two kinds of sauces (mild and hot), but we stuck with mild since it tasted so good - didn't even need the hot.
Our sides were the mac & cheese and the fried okra, both of which were very good.
For dessert, I had the apple cobbler and my girlfriend had the blackberry cobbler. I was a little bummed that they didn't have pecan pie on the menu, but the cobblers were delicious nonetheless.
My only complaint about the place would have to be the portion sizes of the sides and the desserts. Although, the sizes were about what you might expect for the price we were paying (2 eat for $20). The desserts felt the same way - if I had ordered the dessert outside of the deal, I probably would have expected them to be a little bigger. But, for what we got, it was more than fair.
Overall great experience. This will definitely be our bbq place in the future.
