| - We drove almost 40 miles (each way) to check out Porkopolis, and it was worth every mile there and back!
Our delightful server Megan suggested we try the Red Neck Tacos to start, claiming that we probably never had anything like them before. She was absolutely right! The tacos are delicious soft corn pancakes topped with tender pulled pork, jalapeno slaw with sweet and smoky sauce. A fantastic combination, and would have been enough for my dinner alone, maybe with a side, but I had to share with my hubby, who also raved about this unique dish.
For his main course, hubby had the baby back ribs. They were finger-licking good! He claims to be a baby back aficionado, and when he finished his first rib with a Cheshire Cat grin, I knew I had to have a bite even though I have never been a fan of the baby backs myself . . . I am a convert, at least at Porkopolis! I ordered the Barbecue Salmon which came with polenta cakes and fresh veggies. I am always a little hesitant to order salmon out because even when I ask for it to be prepared on the rarer side, it never comes out right. I was even more hesitant here knowing that it had to be cooked and then recooked on the grill. Much to my satisfaction, out came a beautifully done hefty piece of salmon cooked to perfection. I opted to have it prepared with the sweet and smoky sauce instead of the hot and spicy, and it was yummy! The polenta cake had a hint of cheese, and was very creamy in texture, a great match for the salmon! The macaroni and cheese was equally creamy. Loved that it had a "crust" on top.
Both owners, Matt and Brady, came around to greet us and see how we were enjoying the meal. They engaged us in some great banter, commented on my picture-taking . . . "Are you tweeting?" "No, Yelping!" Then I told them they already had two 5-star reviews! Unlike Brianna, I found the service to be spot on, especially for a restaurant that opened less than two weeks ago. Our server was attentive and on the ball. We never had to ask for a tea refill. We also were thanked by not only our server and the owners, but also by the other servers. Either they heard you Brianna, or you didn't hear them when you left???
By the way, we picked up a bottle of sweet and smoky on our way out. If we can't get to Porkopolis as often as we like, we can bring a little Porkopolis to our home. I can't wait to try it on some chicken, Highly unlikely we could find baby backs even close to the fall of the rib, though.
