I should mention that both times were carryout around lunch time. One, because I couldn't leave work and two I didn't want to get shot. The place looks sketchy from the outside and I never considered trying it until I heard about their BBQ.\n\nMy first lunch from Stacy's was a half-pound of Stacy's Style Ribs Tips (rib tips on top of fries) and a small order of BBQ Beans. I enjoyed the rib tips and the sauce but the fries were a soggy mess. I'll just attribute that to being carryout and no fault of theirs. I did however think the portion of rib tips was pretty weak for $7.00. My guess is the half pound includes the fries and sauce. My least favorite part of the meal was the BBQ Beans. I know the menu said sweet but damn! All I could taste was apple or something similar. Next time I'll go for the spicy ones.\n\nSo today someone suggested we do Stacy's again for lunch. I gave him my order of a large pulled pork sandwich and a small Mac n' Cheese. I was going to go for the spicy beans but I keep hearing about the mac so I thought I would give it a try. My lunch arrived a short time later and I dug right in. I started with the mac which looked like one large gelatinous ball of cheese and noodles. It resembled Kraft Macaroni and Cheese but the noodles were a little thicker. The cheese had a bright artificial looking color bust tasted pretty good. Unfortunately I don't see what everyone is raving about. If it's the best you've ever had, I feel sorry for you. So I pealed that off quickly and got after the real reason I wanted BBQ, the pulled pork. My first thought was, they screwed up. I ordered the large and there was no way this could be large. If this was the large then the small would be a joke. I threw the whole sandwich on a digital scale and it weighed in at 9.5 weak ounces. I hoped it would taste so good that I'd forget about the size but unfortunately it didn't. The pork was very dry and was probably smoked several days ago and then re-heated. There was very little sauce on it, which I like because I want to taste the pork and the smoke. In this case however, more sauce would have helped. The pork lacked flavor. You can't blame that on carryout. \n\nNeedless to say I'm bummed out. So I'll break it down for you:\n\nStacy's Style Rib Tips: 2 Stars \n (could be 3 if you dine in and a 4 if they don't skimp on the ribs)\nPrice: $7.00 half pound \n(based on what I received it shouldn't cost more than $5.00)\n\nBBQ Beans: 2 Stars (not my favorite)\nPrice: $1.50 Small \n(good price for portion size)\n\nPulled Pork Sandwich: 1 Star \n(I smoke better pork in my backyard- No Homo)\nPrice: $5.75 Large \n(A large sandwich at most BBQ joints are twice the size)\n\nMac N' Cheese: 1 Star (Macaroni noodles and Velveeta) \nPrice: $3.50 \n(Try $1.50)\n\nNot sure if I'll go back but if I do it will be for ribs. Hopefully Stacy's can redeem themselves."^^ . "0"^^ .
