| - I've tried quite a lot of BBQ from across the USA and this was unimpressive. Gotta say Barque Smokehouse on Roncesvalles is a far superior restaurant for quality of food & bang for your buck. Plus, it's not obnoxiously hipster like this place (REALLY. You'll understand if you ever go in, or even walk by).
First off, this place is cash only. My friend and I spent well over 100 bucks here. No one usually carries that type of money on them. We didn't even leave that full. They get away with saying their plates are meant to be shared (even though it no where on the menu says it should be treated this way). Expensive "tapas" places just piss me off.
We originally sat inside at the bar, but moved out to the patio so we could actually have table room. They had a record player right in the bar/kitchen area, where anyone sitting at the bar could spill a drink on it. That's how they play all their music. Alright, I get you're super hipster, but the placement of the deck seemed super illogical.
Here's what we ate:
Pork Rinds ($3.75): GET THIS. This is really the only reason I gave Electric Mud 2 stars. They were amazing. And the pimento cheese dip that came with it was drool worthy. Once all the pork rinds were done, I totally ate it with my fingers ha.
Grilled Pork Neck ($9): Nothing special. Not bad, but pretty rubbery.
Beef Tongue (??): I didn't particularly like this. It was served slightly seared, but mainly raw, like carpaccio style. On top was this over mayo'd, slaw like topper, with broccoli. All paired together in a fork full was okay, but I wouldn't order it again.
Bar-B-Que Pork on a Bun ($5): Since we were sharing everything else (since that's what the waiter said their dishes were meant for) we wanted to share this. It's 5 bucks for a HALF sandwich fyi. We asked them to cut the sandwich in half for us, but the kitchen refused. Seriously? Why can't you cut a sandwich in half? The waiter had to bring us a stake knife so we could do it ourselves. Was it because the dish must look a certain way encase, heaven forbid, another customer would see it in it's disgusting split state? Just strange. The bottom bun was soggy, which is always a turn off. It was fairly bland & way too creamy.
Pork Side Ribs ($14.50): Three super fatty, and full of inedible cartilage. Didn't look like it had much of a smoke ring. Bland, and the sauce they had availble on the side was either painfully hot, or weak sauce.
They did moderate prices on pitchers & certain days they have good deals on drinks. But this place would shame any legit BBQ place out there. It's no surprise that you rarely smell the smoker outside. Even for "artsy" bbq, this place fails horribly.
