| - So I spent the 4th of July weekend in agony. But on the 4th, I decided I was not going to be a slave to a stomach ulcer. I declared my Independence and headed for Stacy's. I rolled out of the car and two things hit me...pain and the wonderful scent of the smoker. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed and I'm not sure it was worth suffering the consequences.
We ordered a pound of pork and several sides. The pork was good, but it was smothered in sauce. Had my husband thought to tell me the meat is not served dry before we left, rather than on the way home, we would have gone elsewhere. Although the sauce was really good, I judge a good BBQ by whether the meat can stand on its own merit. The sauce should be a nice accompaniment, not the main attraction. Perhaps I'm in the minority. If you like it all mixed up, chances are you'll really like Stacy's.
The greens were really good. The potato salad not so much IMO because it's made with mustard. The BBQ beans were good, but a little too sweet for me. Cornbread is nothing special. And at 99 cents for a small piece, I think it was definitely priced too high.
I would come back for a sandwich (you need something to absorb all that sauce!) if in the neighborhood. I would definitely come back if I could get the meat dry. But I have to say, I still like Kinfolk's better at this point. Sorry Stacy. I really wanted to love you as much as everyone else does.
