Thought we'd check out Shane's today for lunch. Sorely disappointed. Ordered the Sampler to share, and specifically ordered no sauce on the meat. No problem says the order taker. Order arrives and low and behold the ribs and pulled pork are covered in sauce. When I explained to the server/mgr about the error I was told that ALL of their meats come sauced, except the fried chicken tenders, they belatedly came with Ranch dressing. Why weren't we told that when we ordered. It was a simple request. No Sauce please. Geez. The ribs, pulled pork and BBQ beans were sickly sweet and barely warm. The chicken tenders while hot were as dry as a normal summer day in Phoenix. The table sauces didn't help improve them at all.
Here's what I know about BBQ. A BBQ joint should smell like smoking meat, it didn't. Sauce shouldn't overpower the flavor of the Que, it did.
Sorry but I'd rather sit out in the 110+ degree heat at 95th Ave and Peoria where JJ's Louisiana BBQ parks his smoker and get my BBQ, than return here.
