Went here for Lunch/Dinner with my roomate today because I had a Groupon for it. I have to say it was good...it was no Famous Dave's...although it was the same price so I think that without a groupon I wouldent choose it over Dave's but honestly it was good. If I was in the area, I'd go here rather then driving way out to Chandler for sure.
Ok lets start at the beginning....upon walking in...you get the immediate feeling that this place is owned by a guy. There is eye candy everywhere...from the hostess to the servers to the bartenders...all hot. I think there was only 1 guy server...dont ask me how we happened to get put in his section..lol.
We were there during happy hour (runs 7 days a week, thats awesome) and since I knew a 35$ groupon was gonna be harder to spend with 2 people we got some apps. The "famous" onions rings...were amazing...the portion was really small but we found out when we got the bill that the 6.99 onion rings were only $1 for happy hour..thats why the portion was smaller....when we tried to order a second batch they told us that we could only order 1 time for 1$...after that it was full price....that kinda sucks...I rather them be 3$ or whatever and I can order more..but whatever. We also got potato skins...which unlike the ones you think of when you go to applesbees or any other place like that...these are actually skins of the potatoes they peeled that they fry and then dust with seasoning....not bad for a buck.
I ordered a lemon drop for my drink which was ok, could have been strong but whatever.
We shared a rack of ribs with 2 sides ( I'm used to Dave's BBQ being ridiculous portions that you cant even finish with 2 people ) and it was just the right amount of food I think due to having the appetizers. The ribs had a choice of sauce being Mild, Sweet-Spicy, or Cajun. We ordered the ribs dry and sauce on the side but they came with Sweet-Spicy on them instead...a little disappointed in that but it was ok as the sauce was great. We got Mashed potatoes and gravey and asparagus as the side and the mash was amazing...I think my favorite of the trip actually. The asparagus was....well....asparagus.
I didn't have enough room for dessert but I really want to try them sometime as they looked really good.
All in all it was good but not amazing...Famous Dave still sits on the throne for me. I will be back if Groupon/Living Social run another special or if I'm in the area. They also have comedy night on Saturday at like 8pm...I might check that out.
