I just tried this place 2 nights ago. It is the only BBQ place within a 20 minute drive or so. I was hoping it would be good....god I was hoping it would be good.
I called at 7pm (They close at 8) and asked if they still had ribs today. The owner ended up getting on the phone and told me he has plenty. I then asked him what he would do with the rest in 1 hour and he said freeze them. He said that sometimes the ribs wont get eaten for 2-3 days. ACK!
I asked if he had fresh ones and he told me yes. I drove over there in 2 minutes and he began MICROWAVING the ribs. I asked him what he was doing and he said "warming up the ribs" I was in shock.....had I been wrong about all the BBQ places i've been too? Do they too microwave their ribs in the back and then serve it to me? I decided not to judge yet. I asked him where his smoker was at and he said it was at the Buckeye location. Huh? So where is the meat made I asked....He told me Buckeye makes it...then delivers it to them later in the day. Bleh...ok ok dont judge yet Ron...eat it first I said. I got home and split the rack with my roomate. I ordered it sauce ont he side so I can gauge the flavor of the meat....and I am SUPER glad I did.
The sauce tasted like tangy ketchup. The Meat? Well it tasted like Microwaved Ribs...what else? You ever have left overs from a BBQ place and try to microwave them? It was EXACTTLY like that.
Wow...I give this place my ultimate "edible" lowest rating. (I really wont give a place 1 star unless it was unedible)
Do yourself a favor and drive the extra time to a real BBQ Joint.
