He wanted to give 5 stars, I however did not. There are a few reasons I was torn. We ordered the Bronco, the Giddyup, and the Mac Daddy. We wanted to try just about everything on the menu and that was the best way to do it.
I'll start with the meat. The flavor was incredible and the meat/sauce ratio was spot on. The sauce was beautifully blended and perfect. The meat was flavorful and aromatic however was a touch too chewey for my liking. It wasn't bad or over chewey, but the brisket and ribs were not as good as they could have been. The pork and chicken were perfect. At this point, I'm still in the 5 star range because as I said, the flavors were incredible.
The Mac Daddy was unimpressive to say the least. Mac n cheese at a BBQ joint should be that perfect comfort no holds barred plate of scrumptiousness. This was more than disappointing, it was practically criminally bad. It had the taste, color, and texture of the cheap store-brand dry cheese knock-off version of Kraft. A mac n cheese with a bechemel base with hand grated mix of sharp, mild, and Irish cheddars is my recommendation. It may cost more but will really bring out the flavor of the brisket.
The potato salad was not great. Tasted like the deli stuff from the grocery store and a little undercooked.
Overall it was the sides that took the review from a 5 to a 4. The saving grace was the meat/sauce ratio and the sauce itself. Plus the pork was outstanding. Improve the Mac and the potato salad a bit and I bet reviews and...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI'd heard great things so I wanted to try them out. I knew I really wanted to try the beef ribs, but I'd called a couple times and they were out. This weekend I lucked out and they had some left. I called and ordered the beef ribs dinner and I wanted rib tips, but they were out so I ordered 4 regular rib bones as well. The woman who answered the phone is super friendly and nice. She is the perfect person to run the counter. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and very clean and I was pleasantly surprised to see that dining in was an option as well as takeout.
As for the food, the mac and cheese was just okay and the corn bread was fine as well. Not bad, just nothing to write home about. As far as the meats are concerned, apparently the dinner only comes with one bone, I was unaware of that. I saw a sign in the store that said two jumbo beef ribs for 27 dollars which is the price I paid, but only received one. I am not sure what happened there, but I could have misunderstood the sign. That said, the meats were wonderful with the perfect amount of char. The beef ribs was VERY tender, flavorful and smokey. It was probably the best beef rib I have ever gotten from a restaurant. I wish I'd known that it didn't come with sauce because I would have added it, but I was able to remedy that when I got home. The pork ribs were really good as well, also tender and also really flavorful. I liked the sauce as well. They definitely have a new...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreOn my quest to find a good rib/bbq i happen. Upon this small lil place, it is overly decorated in any and all things cowboy and pig or cow related signs posters and figurines. It had a old school feel to it. The staff was cool, took my order, and seemed pretty nice. I checked my order before leaving, and I noticed my fries were not how i wanted them. i asked for my fries fried well but they weren't, but they happily made me another order and corrected the problem. I ate a rib, and it had absolutely no seasoning at all. I asked if the cook these via a grill or in a smoker and was told smoked then grilled was their cooking process. I am not a fan of smoker cooked ribs š and that's what these tasted like. Y u may ask well it reminds me taste wise of when u cook ribs in the oven it doesn't have the same taste as they do cooked on a grill(charcoal) my preference. Sauce was ok coleslaw avg like the one at the grocery store deli counter. I was disappointed thought I found a new spot i could love š. Cornbread and fries were yummy tho. I don't feel it was 21 dolla worth nx time I'm gonna jus buy 1 bone first and not buy a half a slab or whole dinner. Haven't tried anything else may go back for a different item. I would say give them a try if smoked is ur thing. You can eat in and int is parking kinda small and they had so music blasting from a speaker and they did list a few specials was completely horrible jus not what I wanted but...
