Decided to give this place a shot since the BBQ place down the way had closed its doors for good. The BF and I were craving a BBQ sandwich for lunch so we were on a mission. As we pulled up the parking was pretty full. We thought that was a good sign to start. Upon walking in we were greeted by a pretty young lady who asked if it was our first time there. She explained the menu to us and the first thing I noticed was no BBQ Chicken sandwich. All kinds of other sandwiches but no chicken. Bummer. My hopes just flew out the window.
In place of my craving for a chicken sandwich I ordered the BBQ pork sandwich with the slaw on the side and fries. The BF ordered the BBQ brisket sandwich with mac and cheese. The kids menu was weird for kids I thought. The options were chicken, fish and something else. I thought "oh boy" the daughter is not gonna want any of this but she just went with the chicken.
We found a table and waited for our food to be prepared. The place was real clean. There were like three other tables occupied. It was really warm in the restaurant which made it a little unpleasant being that we were trying to escape from the 110 degree weather. They had a little party room which was closed off. The place used to be an old Burger King so the little room looked like it was the old play area.
They called our name and went up to get our food. As I was helping the daughter with trying to de-bone her chicken the family was digging on my French fries. Wait a minute-I want those! Hi. Before I could even look at my food I decided to order more fries and we needed a side of BBQ sauce. I went up to the counter and ordered up the large fries and a side of BBQ sauce. For a BBQ joint I was actually surprised that they actually charged me for the sauce. Still scratching my head.
Here is a rundown of our meals:
Pork Sandwich with slaw on the side - The roll was cold, which I felt should have been toasted or warmed up and the pork was kind of fatty. The slaw I didn't even eat.
BBQ Brisket Sandwich with mac and cheese - Same kinda thing...cold roll, meat was a little better tastewise than the pork but still fatty. The BF didn't care for the slaw and the mac and cheese was pretty darn yummy. Both sandwiches didn't have enough sauce which is why we needed a side of sauce.
(Kids) BBQ chicken on the bone with corn on the cob - Chicken was great - We ordered white meat and it was a huge piece and the meat was tender and smokey. (aside from that I still think that the bones in a kids meal isn't that good of an idea) She ate up the corn as that is always a hit for her.
Now for the star of the day - French Fries! - .they were the wrinkle style and were cooked perfectly-not too done and a little soft in the middle. They were sprinkled with some kind of seasoning that made it a salty sweet. Amazing with a unique taste. The large fry we thought was gigantic (and $5.00). It was so good we ate every last bite! Enough said.
The sauce - had a little kick to it, was very thick and is served warm. Still funny that they would charge us for a side. It was pretty good though.
The service was good. The girl taking our order was very nice as well as one of the cooks who made some conversation with me. I definitely think we will try this again....maybe stay away from the sandwiches next time. I do think they should add a BBQ chicken sandwich still...still a little bummed about that....
