Stacy is a really cool cat. Even if he "don't know nuthin' about no internet". He asked me how I found out about the place, since he has only been there for 6 months. Stacy tells me he has no computer and absolutely can NOT believe there are people out there yelping about him.
I told him about reviews I had read and he kept saying "people write that shit about me?" I told him about someone being told they could bring in beer and about some cool customer service that was laid on some others.
Stacy was cooking up some etouffee - not on the menu - but he brought some over for us to taste. It was out of this world...shrimp, crawdads, yum. He said he was making it up for a catered event he was doing. He used to make it at the soul food restaurant he ran, and it was a special request. Then he brought us a fried catfish sample, then fried pickles (not a fan).
Between the ribs and pulled pork we got - and the love & samples that kept pouring from the kitchen - we had more than enough food and ended up taking a lot of it home.
Lisa took care of us and she was great. She spent the time humorously trying to explain the Stacy about the computer, yelp and his reviews. It created a great family atmosphere.
It's not a fancy place by any means, we're talking rib shack, and it was a bit hot. Bottom line - it's not the best bbq I've ever had...but this is not exactly a city people think of when they think bbq. And for the prices, hospitality, and genuine wit...it can't be beat.
I'll be back and bring friends - it's just downright fun there!
