This place has been on my to try list since before I knew what Yelp is. I made it my choice when I won a football bet last fall. Yes, I know football season has been over for a while but diets, cash flow and life in general, on both sides, made this dinner wait. Suffice it to say the company was worth the wait.
When we got there about 6:30 on Saturday the parking lot was packed and we were worried we would be stuck in the bar with our growling stomachs. It turned out we were seated immediately although there were only a few tables open.
We started with a half order of onion rings. These are hand made in house and served with a really good dipping sauce. Both the rings and the sauce reminded me of Lenny's (which got rid of their sauce and started buying frozen onion rings) only one notch higher. We were both thinking ribs in a BBQ joint and she got the baby backs and I got the St Louis style spare ribs. She got the fall off the bone she wanted and I got the slightly chewy I wanted. Of the sauces I preferred the cajun which was only mildly hot, however the ribs were good enough they really didn't need much sauce. We both ordered different sides so we could try many of them. We liked them all but my favorites were the cole slaw and the macaroni and cheese. The only soso item was the dinner roll but even there they are smart enough to serve soft butter.
The service was attentive without being obtrusive the entire time. Our waitress had the answers to all of our questions without having to go ask.
Sort of an anomaly in the North West valley, you can arrive here between 7:30 and 8:30 and the place will be sort of quiet between the Sun City folks and the later night crowd and be seated right away.
