  • In need of a place to feed my small town father and his long-time best friend (like, 50+ years since they were chitlins long-time long-time), I settled on the obvious: they both love BBQ. So, where do I take them? Sure, Hogtown has no shortage of options... but really, there was only one choice: Stockyards. So, armed with the assurance of a son who knows his dad can't resist a Fred Flintstone calibre rack of ribs, I dragged them out of the comforts of my 'hood to the uncharted waters of St Clair North... Verdict? Unabashed praise, amigos, oh yes, they loooooved them some Stockyards! Pops had a full rack of ribs with a large serving of fries (lunacy!); best friend braved the Butter Burger with a side of said fries. Ribs: They defeated my once mighty father, standing as Ali to my dad's Sonny Liston. Still, he couldn't be happier as he bibbed himself clean. Butter Burger: "What'd'ya expect, Patrick -- it was greasy! Good though! Greasy!" Honestly I think he kinda regrets not getting something else, not because it wasn't delicious, but because it was his monthly intake of butter in one sitting. At 60+ years of age, that's not inconsiderable. As for me, fried chicken platter. Oh my, way way way too much food for one person, and hey, I'm pushing 6'4" and I'm not exactly wafer-thin. I ate about half, and took the rest home to Heather (who sung the take-away's praises while joyfully stuffing her face). So, why not 5 stars? Well, as good as it was (and it was good!), really, I've had better BBQ on all counts. Better ribs, better chicken, better fries... can't speak to the burger, but I've probably had a better one of those, too. In light of the vast praise heaped upon Stockyards, I just can't seem to take it out of context. I was expecting the best or damned close to it, and I was... "disappointed", though still quite happy. I'm sure we'll be back. As a great place for carnivores it's hard to beat -- tiny spot but cool vibe, very friendly staff, dependable, tasty food, and prices that seemed a bit too low for what we were getting (enough that it kinda makes me wonder where all that meat is really being sourced from). Now back to my mostly vegetarian diet.
