| - Came in with my folks for Mom's weekend hoping for a quick, informal BBQ lunch.
Lacey's is new to this Urbana location, they had previously moved from Champaign, according to the guy working the register.
Unfortunately, this move put a few kinks in things. We wanted to order alcohol but were informed that the liquor license hasn't transferred over yet, so no alcohol was available despite being advertised.
It was a pretty cold Mom's weekend and we were surprised that the inside of the restaurant wasn't much warmer than the outside. Not sure of they didn't turn the heat on or what, but by the time we got our food we were a little chilly and wished we had taken it to go.
Our friend working the register was very kind, but didn't seem to know how to properly work the register, saying his daughter who did went out to lunch a few minutes ago. He actually didn't charge us for our sides, seemingly by mistake.
The ordering process was a little hectic, but after we got our food we were a little more satisfied. I got the beef brisket sandwich with mac and cheese, my mom got the same except with candied yams and my father got the pulled pork tacos if I remember correctly. I personally didn't think my brisket was anything special, but my mom did like hers. The sauce was pretty tasty, it was sweet and spicy and reminded me of a Sweet Baby Ray's except better. We all agreed that the tacos were actually the best item on the table. I personally thought for $8.95 the portion was very small.
We all agreed Black Dog's BBQ was better in terms of taste, quality and portion size.
Still not a bad option.
