| - Walking distance from the Four Points Sheridan, which was a major selling point.
Service was just OK. The young lady tried, but it's really more of a sports bar that serves food than a BBQ restaurant. The fella that brought out my meal really botched it by refusing to bring out a bit of ranch for my fried zucchini and just insisting over and over that it's not normally served that way. Don't really care what normally happens; I want dipping sauce for my fried food. The waitress intervened, practically pulling him away from the table, and bringing me a $0.50 cup of ranch. She didn't mention that there would be an extra charge, although I figured there would be based on the dude's reaction, but fifty cents does seems a bit high for some dressing. I was honestly happy to pay for him to go away! Since it turned out my choice was the special for the night anyway, at a dollar off, it wasn't any kind of big deal--although I wish the specials has been more apparent than a sign on the floor by the door that you can never see again from inside the location... I would have looked had I known!
The BBQ pork was OK. I wish I had asked for half-pork, half-chicken, but I had figured the chicken would have been dry. Based on how dry the pork was, it probably wouldn't have mattered. I put on additional BBQ sauce from the squeeze container on the table, but it was a vinegar based sauce. I had to ask for a non-vinegar based sauce and the gal just grabbed a bottle from the next table over. Neither bottle was labeled and I'm glad I didn't accidentally find any hot sauce!
Really, the saving grace was the sides. The mac and cheese was absolutely adequately cheesy. The fried zucchini was totally worth skipping the sweet potato fries for. I wish there had been an option to add a third or even fourth side to the plate--there's a sides-only option with 3 or 4 sides, but nothing with a meal. Why is that??? In truth, I couldn't decide what I wanted my last bite to be--end on the super oily fried deliciousness of the thinly sliced summer squash in soft, soft breading? Or save some of that chewy crusty cheese and creamy gooey elbow mac for the final chomp? In reality, I stuffed both in my mouth simultaneously and that was indeed the perfect way to end the meal.
