| - In Short: Food was tasty but I've had much better. In the end the experience was a letdown.
I really had high hope for Stacy's, after all top ten is top ten. Never even heard of this place before that but I I was really excited to check it out. It's not that hard to find but it's really small so if you are not looking for it, you'll keep on driving.
First of all don't forget to take cash, no plastic what so ever. There's maybe six table in the whole place. Most people seems to do take out, but we decided to dine in. The menu is a bit chaotic, written on a chalk board without any rhyme or reason. We order a half a platter of pork and beef ribs, fried okra and pickle combo, and some slaw. Didn't have to wait too long, about 20 mins, the food came out. Instantly the smell was intoxicating. Alas that was probably the best thing about the BBQ, the pork ribs were disappointing, not much flavor, too much sauce, and after a few bites my jaw was hurting. I was surprised how tough it was to chew. The rub on the beef bones were better but the there was hardly any meat on it, mostly caramelized sauce, another disappointment. Probably the only highlights were the fried okra and the slaw. None of the food was inedible, or bad for that matter but definitely had much better BBQ from less reputed restaurants. I'm still not sure about the three stars because I wanted to be "rocked" but ended up being just "rolled." I'm going to go again and try some of the other items before I pass final judgement.
One final note, the light switch for the bathroom is on the outside wall, behind a gray electrical box, just follow the black arrow. You'll know it when you see it.
