I am always leery of restaurants that display 20 year old accolades and newspaper articles. This is what I was greeted with after being seated.
With the temporary closure of Beatties Ford, it is more difficult to get from work to Lancasters for the Friday lunch special. So, today, we used the closure as an excuse to try this place. Yes, I am going to make a direct comparison between these two establishments.
1. BBQ Plate lunch special for $12.98? Compare this to the $9 Friday special at Lancasters and my wallet knows where to go. AND I got less food? AND I didn't have as many side choices?
2. It smells like an elderly persons home.
3. No bacon in the green beans? Is this even legal?
4. I saw nor tasted any sign of smoke in the meat.
I left, unimpressed, and feeling like I paid too much for the meal. Not a good feeling. I think the Cookout across the street has better BBQ for less than half the price, and then I can afford a fancy milkshake.
First impression blah blah blah.....I'm doubtful that I'll go back. I'll be sure to take the detour and go to Lancasters next Friday.
