| - My wife and mother in law dined here on 4/22/18 at about 5 pm. I absolutely love good bbq as I have had the privilege of eating at some of the finest bbq places in America. I especially love burnt ends. And to that end here is my review.
Onion rings - great. I see why they are known for them. Pretty darn close to the best I've ever had.
Bbq sauce (sweet heat) - subtle heat up front that builds and grows into a full bloom of heat without overpowering you, delicately balanced by the sweetness all the way through.
Potato Salad - potatoes were al dente and the overall salad was salty. First time ever I think I didn't finish potato salad.
Fries - good steak fries but non descript. Just fries.
Burnt Ends - Ok. So in my travels in my life I've had the pleasure of enjoying burnt ends from Jack Stacks and Arthur Bryants in KC and, being a chef myself who has smoked more than his fair share of meat, I can tell you that these were not burnt ends. It was chopped up brisket (the flat piece more than likely) on Texas Toast. Brisket is my absolutely favorite. I know brisket in almost every incarnation. And these weren't burnt ends. No way, no how. And the meat was overdone. Smoke ring was very thin and the meat was not very flavorful. No bark whatsoever. Heck, the meat was gray all around.
So you know i am not coming off as a jerk, as I'm not trying to at all, I gave the rib leftovers a try from my mother in law and wife who didn't find them to their liking either.
Ribs - worse than the brisket in every way. Tough, oversmoked, dry, etc... They weren't very good at all. I have leftovers. About a full rack. Now ribs won't last in this house more than a few minutes let alone a whole almost 24 hour cycle. Why is that that I have these ribs left over still? If you need pictures I can show you but I'm really not into putting you on blast here. I don't comment on stuff usually. In fact, this might be my first. I dunno.
Off day? Maybe. Listen. I'm not looking for anything from you. Just thought you would like to know how this experience was. I guess I'm on the fence about giving Dillons another try. More so im disappointed because I really need to find a great bbq place close to me in Waddell and I don't think I've found it yet.
