| - 3 Stars means unremarkable to me. But my 2 experiences at Blue 32 were so weird that I feel compelled to remark.
Last week we visited and sat outside about an hour before sunset. As far away from the center of the restaurant as possible it was quite relaxing. Apparently a couple of smokers thought so too, standing within 3 feet of our table as smoke logically drifted our direction. Staff noticed but ignored them...weird.
I ordered pulled pork with coleslaw and cowboy beans. The menu must have said "or" cowboy beans because they weren't on the curiously-sparse plate. Service was a little slow, but very friendly, and the food was delicious. We returned a few days later & I noticed the menu actually did say "and" vs. "or". What happened to my cowboy beans? That felt...weird.
On that same trip she ordered fish tacos. The portion was a bit small (2 tacos), but also delicious. Fish tacos are a favorite no matter where we eat so I wasn't surprised that she ordered them on the return trip. And she LOVED the fries. This time there were 3 tacos on the plate...weird.
The second visit was inside, smack in the middle of a vast array of silent TVs on various sport channels, mostly washed up jocks talking statistics that you had to lip read. At least, thanks to acoustics, the patrons and food service sounds were very loud. So if you go out with someone that you really don't want to talk to, this is the place for you. You can sit and watch TV over her shoulder while she watches over yours. But for me, that was just...weird.
Although we were close to the bar, the drinks were very slow coming. I ordered the rib & wing sampler this time. I'll have to order Hot wings next time because the Medium tasted pretty Mild. The ribs were very dry, and had only the faintest hint of barbecue sauce. I like mine juicy and saucy. Uh, excuse me... I'm talking about baby back ribs here! I know... I'm weird.
