| - Wow - we go to a lot of places on yelp that people think are the bomb and end up thinking "meh".... Tonight we tried a "meh" on yelp place and ended up thinking "yuck!"
Hubby and I have been talking about going to Piggly's for months - it's quite a haul for us, so we never ended up doing it - but tonight was the night. We're food lovers - and man - deep fried food - sign us up! Deep fried BACON? What!?!? Must have that! Needless to say - we were super excited but our expectations were not met.
We ordered fried bacon, fried alligator, battered fries with cheese sauce, a corn dog, the 3 sliders - that with a drink was $32. The service was fine, someone explained the menu, very friendly. The food - not so good. The fried bacon tasted like batter... and more batter - not even that crisp on the outside soft in the middle crunch of well cooked batter, but just bleh (honestly if you knew us, leaving bacon uneaten is close to a sin - and we left most of it). The alligator at least tasted like something in between the not quite crispy batter - maybe with some kind of dipping sauce it would have been ok. Corn dog was mushy all the way though - I've had better corn dogs at Sonic. Fries were ok - again - not hot enough, not fried enough. The sliders we got were sausage, brisket and pulled pork. The pork was dry, the brisket was actually not bad and the sausage wasn't worth eating.
Seriously, this stuff was so bad that we stopped drooling over the idea of funnel cake and deep fried snickers - and left without desert.
Maybe the frier wasn't hot enough, maybe our food sat in the window too long, maybe our expectations were just too high - but Piggly's tonight you let us down.
