| - Here is my tale of two visits. A couple of my friends know I am a big fan of ribs so they gifted me groupons with $10 for $20 worth of food. I figured how can you go wrong with that?
Having never eaten here before I didn't know what to expect. I went on a Saturday afternoon and the place was rather empty. I proceeded to order a full rack of ribs, corn, and the sweet potato tots. As expected, the food came out very fast. At first glance the portion was huge, however the second I took my first bite I realized these were no fall of the bone ribs. It was sort of amusing. As was chewing away on my ribs, I read their sign about not needing teeth to eat there. I say false! On a high note though, the sweet potato tots were out of this world and you have to work hard to mess up corn on the cob. Both sides received an A.
As for the cleanliness, it was what I expect from a BBQ place. It wasn't gross but it wasn't super clean either. The gal that took my order was polite and didn't seem as disinterested as other reviewers have mentioned. Overall it was a 3 star experience.
As for the second visit I wanted to try other things. This time I ordered the half rack of ribs half chicken, corn on the cob, cowbro beans, and some peach cobbler. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. Having expected the ribs to be a little harder, I took a big bite but this time the ribs so tender, that I bit right through the bone. Basically, I had a mouthful of black bone marrow and dry meat. It was quite unpleasant and it continued for the remainder of the meal. How much more inconsistent can you be on the cooking? Lastly, the cowbro beans were not all that great either and the peach cobbler tasted like canned peaches and a piece of old bread. This experience was closer to 1 star.
If it wasn't for the free groupons I received I probably wouldn't have gone back the second time. When it comes to spending my hard earned money, it won't be here unfortunately.
