One of my favorite places for ribs. First one I went to was in Greenville and we had our rehearsal dinner at the one in Charleston. ;-)
Cost to worth it ratio: 3
Eve award: Best baby back ribs
Highlights:
- Ribs: Meaty but tender; large but no major gnawing needed
- Sauces: A variety of your choice for your ribs. Pick from carolina sweet, tennessee whiskey, memphis style wet, memphis style dry, carolina mustard, or habañero hot .
-- Carolina sweet: my fave sauce. Basic tomato based one but with more sweetness to it like I like it
--Tennesee whiskey: my second fave--has a bit of a whiskey kick
- Sides: it defaults as cole slaw and beans but you can pick any 2. Other options are cinnamon baked apples, southern style rice, green beans, baked potato, macaroni & cheese, seasoned fries, or potato salad.
-- Mac and cheese: I was craving this and it hit the spot. Cheesy but not too gooey and soft but not mushy noodles.
-- Specials: they had broccoli casserole and sweet potato crunch. Love them both. Broccoli was almost blended with the cheese like a filling and very cheesy. Mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar and nuts went well with the ribs but doubled as a dessert. :-)
- Napkins: no measly white paper things here--they give you a green towel. ;-)
- Lunch specials: they have a small portion of ribs as well as a few ribs and a bbq sandwich with sides
- Location: driving distance from the hub's parents so a dining option I know I'll enjoy
Lowlights (my flip side to highlights):
- MSG: I noticed most of the sauces included this and I prefer sauces that don't include this.
- Pecan pie: I love pecan pie but never get to it here cause I fill up on ribs
I'll be back to Sticky Fingers next time I get a chance.
