| - JUST OPENED 11/14/09
This placed just opened this past Saturday and is in the location where Shakey Jakes use to be.
Service was a little slow they may be in the learning process still.
The food was OK defiantly better than Shakey Jakes I thought. My Girlfriend and and I shared the sampler platter which comes with: 2 beef ribs, 2 pork ribs, 1 beef hot link, 4oz chopped beef brisket, 4 oz chopped pork sholder, bread, baked beans, cole slaw and potato salad for $18. It could easily feed 2 adults and a young child I think, I know we didn't finish our sampler. my parents also ordered the family 12 pac and i tasted the mac'n cheese that they got.
OK on to what you really came to read about: the grub
Sides:
Mac'n cheese- not what you think it is I swear it has jalapeƱos and the flavor just isnt what you expect its not a creamy cheese with elbow macaroni noodles. In my opinion walk down to churches and get mac'n cheese.
Cole slaw- It was ok it has kind of a mustard flavor to it and looks yellow, It has a little crunch still, but not much i'm sure it had more crunch at lunch. the secret to this slaw is to eat it with your meat on a sandwich, I tryed it that way and the flavor profile really complemented the meat.
Potato Salad- I liked the potato salad, potatos had a little of a crunch, just reminded me of what mom makes on 4th of July, just classic potato salad.
Baked Beans- pretty good, they remind me of some doctored bushes, which is a good thing considering i really enjoy bushes with a little brown sugar and a few other things.
Bread- pretty standard white bread, they have corn bread as an option but i'm not a huge fan of corn bread. My only problem with it was they only gave us one slice... really would it have killed you to give me two?
Meat:
Beef ribs- Different, not sire what the seasoning they rub on it is but its different, I don't know that I'd order a rack of them but having one was nice, they did have lots of meat on them.
Pork ribs- pork ribs are my favorite, and these where pretty good, we did get more than 2 they are a little small so getting 4 like we did make up for the size.
beef hot link... non existent maybe thats why we got extra pork ribs? i wasn't looking forward to it anyway.
Chopped beef brisket- It was ok, i think the slaw helped it but i would eat it as a sandwich for lunch.
Chopped pork shoulder- who can ague with more fatty pork awesomeness? i know i can't the pork was better than the beef by far.
