Adam's Rib Barbecue — Restaurant in Eaton

My family and I have eaten here a few times a year for the last 10 years or so, so we know the quality of the food has previously met (and perhaps exceeded) expectations. However, we placed a phone order yesterday evening and were greatly disappointed with the order we received. We ordered two racks of ribs - which were black, insanely smoky and super dry; a chicken and sausage combo with cheesy potato’s and green beans - the sausage was okay, the chicken was so dry it was difficult to swallow, the green beans had no flavor and the cheesy potato’s (though good) were extremely salty. We also ordered a side of spoon bread - which honestly was probably the most edible and enjoyable item out of all. We’ve always loved Adam’s and don’t want to bash a small business, but this place isn’t what it used to be. And for an $80 order, I expect the quality of my food to reflect the price!

(Adding a photo of the second rack of ribs just for reference, though I wish I had one of the first - it was...

Went in to get a rib platter and add a meat for my husband ok, I looked on line at the menu before I got there and decided I wanted a brisket wrap with the cheese and peppers and onion and when I seen him wrap it up with just cheese and meat I asked about the other toppings and he at me like I had 3 eyes!! He said ummm No I don’t have none of that well I don’t want it then ty. I asked about the cheesy pot. One of their side and asked him if he could get me a lil sample on a spoon just for a taste to see if I would like it he said NO I CANT! Needless to say I won’t make a trip from Middletown to ADAMS RIBS EVER AGAIN ILL STICK COMBS BBQ IN MIDDLETOWN. And if I could only gave a half a star that’s what I’d give Adams Rib! Places doesn’t look all...

I went to the restaurant and immediately saw the cash only sign and went to a local ATM for some $$. Kinda sucked because I didn't know about it before hand but it's whatever. Go inside and order the pulled pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, and a drink. The customer service could have been a little better but it was kinda slow so I don't blame them. The pulled pork was okay at worst. It wasn't bad, just a typical pulled pork sandwich. They did load up on the meat though so that was nice. The Mac and cheese was better than the sandwich in my opinion. I'm kind of biased considering I really like cheese. I wish they would allow debit/credit purchases because I didn't have enough cash to properly tip them. Overall not a bad place but nothing to go...
