| - So this is a tale of two experiences. The first time spent at Andrew's was great. Pulled pork and wings were good, and with a local Hop Knot to wash it down, I knew I would be back.
Fast forward to today's experience. I cruised in pretty dang hungry and went with the half chicken and 1/3 ribs. The meal came with a side (green chile mac) and corn bread. There I sat, awaiting my delicious ribs and chicken, hungry as all-get-out, when a boneless, skinless "half chicken" was placed in front of me. OH THE HORROR!!!! WTF!?!?!? Boneless and skinless "pieces" of chicken? Fresh out of the steamer? Not only was this gross, but this is positively shameful in the world of BBQ. The chicken had absolutely no flavor (surprise, surprise) but neither did the ribs! I'm all for BBQ sauce, but the meat should stand on it's own merit. Slather as much BBQ on there as you want, but the meat's gotta be good to begin with. The chicken was inedible without a healthy helping of BBQ and the flavorless ribs weren't much better.
Onto the rest: Green chile mac basically looked and tasted like Stouffer's 'orange box' with some green chile's in it, didn't bother with the cornbread at all, and the "hot" BBQ sauce was anything but hot. A different flavor than the other sauce, but definitely not hot.
My Hop knot was, however, quite delicious.
ALL FOR $18.95?!?!?!!?!?!?!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Take note Yelpers: This place is a perfect example of why you need to eat at a joint more than once before you can offer a comprehensive review and now I know unequivocally, that I will not be back.
