They serve chicken, pork ribs, beef ribs, rib tips and pulled pork. I tried the pork ribs, rib tips and pulled pork. All three meats were very tasty and cooked very well. However, I actually liked the side dishes better. The potato salad and coleslaw were sweet and refreshing, but I wish the side portioned were larger.
The potato salad is palatable, but tastes like your standard grocery chain deli concoction. Not good, but also not bad. It does come in a small styrofoam container and you don’t get much. I’m willing to admit I’m wrong, but I’d bet the stuff comes from GFS or Costco in a plastic vat. The small styro cup of slaw…ok, now THAT is something else. In contrast to the potato salad, I’d almost bet money Mrs. Mark made that stuff. Sweet, and cut into such a fine grate that it almost dissolves in your mouth. It’s just a tad too sweet for me, but omg is it still good. I’d consider it for dessert.
The baked beans are much closer in quality to the slaw. They are tender with nary a mushy bean in the small cup. They are smoky enough that I can guarantee they or their ingredients have spent some time in the smoker outside. Sweet but not overpoweringly so. Really good beans, though baked is a misnomer. I’d say they may have started life as canned, but they’ve run down a much nicer road since then.
The sweetheart that took my order was as nice as I’ve found anywhere and nicer than many places. I glanced at the big drive up menu, noticed the lack of a comms system for ordering, and found the handmade sign at the bottom that directs you to pull up to the window to order. I pulled up, noting a smaller menu right before you get to the window. When you pull up to order however, you are unable to see either of those menus. I asked her if she had a smaller menu I could look at. I got a somewhat deer-in-headlights look and I asked her if she wanted me to back up. There was nobody behind me, so no worries.
She said it was no problem and held up a medium sized plastic menu for me to look at. While I was asking about some items, a bald fellow (I do not know if this was ‘Mark’) poked his head over in front of her and asked “Didn’t you see the menu??” Then asked her “He didn’t see the menu?!?!” His tone and demeanor was what I usually classify as @hole. I offered again to back up and she said no it’s ok. I completed ordering and she came after about 10 minutes and offered me an extra side and a drink for my wait. I was going to explain that it was no problem and thinking that good bbq takes time and was worth waiting for. I was correct.
The place is a Shack. No other way to put it. The health department rating is good and there looks like there could be some minor outdoor seating. There are 4 or 5 vertical barrel type grills going and it’s not as difficult to get into and out of as it looks. The prices are what I would consider a little high BEFORE tasting the food. I’d have given 5* if not for the guy’s attitude.
I ordered a pulled pork plate.
It includes two sides.
She charged me $10
The pulled pork had a weird taste… It was huge chunks of meat, & not pulled apart at all… Not even sure if it had sauce or seasoning on it… The two sides were in the tiniest little white cups with lids… The potato salad tasted ok.. But could use more mustard and seasoning but was ok and the pork n beans I couldn’t eat at all… Not sure what that sauce was but I didn’t like it
So sad…I don’t have much money for stuff like that so it totally felt like I got taken… The meat tasted like it was expired… And smelled weird
Why sell such bad stuff… It sucks for me
After viciously eating the beef ribs as if I have not eaten in days, I moved on to my sides. This potato salad was also homemade and phenomenal, the only thing I would have done differently was bigger egg slices.
Now this is the most important part, I have never liked baked beans in my entire life, not once have I tasted a baked beans and appreciated it, my mother could confirm. I tasted these baked beans and my eyes lit up, as if I was hearing the truth to some lie told to me years ago, I ate the entire cup.
