I generally think it's pure savagery to give an establishment one star, so in all honesty it's probably deserving of a 2 or 3 given that it was my first time eating there with my partner and food can be pretty subjective. However in my time of eating barbecue, I would have never thought the best things we could have been served at a barbecue joint were a piece of white bread and a moist towelette.
This journey begins the same way it ended, poorly. We arrived at the restaurant about an hour before closing, which one could say that we can't expect much quality. However I believe that if a restaurant is still willing to keep their kitchen open until close, then expecting food quality to be similar from open til close is a fair expectation. We ordered their regular order of rib tips with mix sauce, which for a half-pound of meat was decently priced. When we sat down to eat, we were a bit disappointed that the barbecue sauce was very watery. It's not a sweet sauce at all, but more on the tangy side. It is homemade so that was cool to see. Unfortunately what was not cool were how bland the steak fries were. It was as if they had never seen a grain of salt in their life, and were forced to drown in a watery pool of sauce. Those potatoes never got to see their true potential. This also seemed to be the case for the rib tips. The rib tips were very thin and barely had meat on them.
At the end of the day, I will say that you can get well priced barbecue in no time here. However with the meat and potato soup we were served, I would probably take my next bbq purchase elsewhere even if it meant paying a bit more or waiting a bit longer. They probably have other items that are much better, but at this point I'm pretty confident that I won't be returning. I have a better chance of returning to a Golden Coral. Make sure to get a towelette!
