Ordered 35 dollars of food with sauce on side. They forgot sauce I called they said I didn’t bag it the guy who bagged it is gone! I said your food requires the sauce that’s what makes it, he said right then said nothing.... I said well what now he said well people who are in area will come back and get... not in area I’m in west Bloomington so what are you going to do? Nothing so you lose a customer who has been coming from back in the real times of Ted cooks over some dam sauce you stupid so I will never go there again cause your service sucks and you food sucks with no sauce!!!!

Read moreI was recommended this place after expressing i was craving some ribs. But true beef ribs, not like applebees or chili's type ribs, real southern, juicy, meaty ribs. That is not what i got here. I have the ribs 3 stars because had they not been mostly bone, these would be really good ribs. But to charge people $25+ tax for large Flinstone bones with meat just on the sides of the bone is CRIMINAL. If i took all the meat off the bones and weighed it it'd probably only reach about 8 oz fr. My friend who recommended the place had told me they could eat 20 of these ribs and now I see why. They are so little and meatless it's a shame. There's no I should be able to eat 7 whole ribs comfortably, and he eat 20 in a setting. That tells you a lot. I can't even say I'd order here again because the next thing i like is brisket but they slice theirs into thin strips rather than slabs like I'm used to. 3/10 overall and thats for flavor and tenderness of the meat i did get to eat.
**And the "jojos" are terrible, no further...
Read moreTried to phone order in, but they were too busy to take a call, so I brought a book and went anyway. Had to wait 10 minutes to place the order (pork ribs, sliced beef, and half chicken, with extra sides of red beans with rice and greens), and another 20 minutes for the food. Hadn't ever eaten their bbq before, so I ordered medium instead of hot... good thing, since medium was plenty hot for me. Brought it home, nicely packed in styrofoam clamshells safely wrapped in paper. And now I'm hooked; that was possibly the best bbq I've ever had. My 8 year old son said the sauce was too peppery, but he loved it anyway. The jo-jo potatoes were pretty good, and the beans were watery but very good. There was one minor mixup: I thought I had ordered beef ribs, not sliced beef, but it was so good I didn't care.
Chains, eat your mechanical, soulless hearts out. Your three-ring binders will never match the amazing food that a dedicated and skilled mom and pop outfit like Cook's...
