| - A-OK.
Looks like an Applebee's, T.G.I. Fridays, Red Robin, Chili's, etc. Smells like any one of them too. Oh wait, it's a BBQ thing here; I guess that's enough of a difference. Not my usual M.O., but since I never been, and a friend suggested it as a our lunch option... sure, why not, I'll give it a shot.
My friend was pretty adamant about being seated at a table. He later explained to me (therefore I cannot personally confirm or deny) that being seated at the bar is a gamble on one's time. Either you will see your food right away, or you will be one of the last to receive your food in the whole restaurant. So if you have a lot of time and don't mind trying your luck, by all means, be seated at the bar. Since we had work to get back to, he made the more prudent choice.
We got a waiter that was on the verge of being over-attentive, but I'm far from complaining. I'll take that over the opposite any time. He was prompt, courteous, and informative too. He asked if we were familiar with Dave's, and I fessed up. He took the time to explain their entire sauce selection (not on BWW's scale, but decent nonetheless). This process involved pouring a small amount of each onto a large dish. With a small bowl of seasoned chips (unseasoned would have been preferred, but they sufficed), we got to try and compare thoughts on them all.
Here are my thoughts. The Rich & Sassy that they claim is famous enough to put on everything is about as standard, boring as BBQ sauce can get. The Georgia Mustard would actually be absolutely fantastic on fish, chicken, salad, or some such. Texas Pit and Sweet & Zesty are just different plays on their first sauce, and equally as remarkable. Devil's Spit, despite the blasphemous/gross name, was actually fairly tastey, and I don't typically say that about BBQ sauce (if you haven't already figured that out).
We ordered off their lunch menu, and I decided to go with the brisket sandwich. Now in my experience, BBQ brisket is supposed to be cut thin and across the grain. What I got instead was just a collection of fatty cubes between buns. In another words, what I probably got was just the left-over scrap from a brisket. The price definitely did not reflect the product at all. Luckily, being the opportunist omnivore that I am, I still ate it. For what it was, with help from the right sauce, it wasn't half bad, but disappointing still.
Luckily the sauce experiment definitely compensated for the deficiencies of the meal. Although when I was asked if I was going to finish the chips at the table, replied yes, they were still taken away. Good thing I remembered we had to get back to work, or I would have pursued the matter. Oh well, check another one off the list at least.
