Holy Smokes BBQ of TN — Restaurant in Chapel Hill

Several years back this was one of my favorites. What happened ? Got the half rack of baby back ribs “dry” Had a choice of “wet”. The exterior was damp, no crust and the color was sorta gray and tasted as though crocked in a crock pot, and the bones slid right out.

I told the guy to forget it that across the street is a dollar general. Very disappointed 😞 I hope the food is good and everything accounted for. Geez...

I got the half rack rib plate to go . The Redskin potato salad had a bit too much mayo for me but that is a matter of taste. There were also other potato salad choices so perhaps I'll try a different one next time. The banana pudding was OK. The fries were actually really good. I like crinkle cuts so that was great in my book. I was really disappointed with the ribs as I was expecting hickory smoked ribs. These seemed like they may have been prepared/heated in a Slow Cooker/Oven rather than on the grill or in a smoker. That being said, I have spoken with the owner, Brad, and he seems like he really cares about his customers. That's why I'll be back next week to give the...
