I had visited Baldy's BBQ once last fall and was rather disappointed. I understand the place is small and I don't mind a wait but they failed to provide any comphortable waiting area. Once we were sat, I found the pulled pork to be rather bland. I like a lot of flavor and naturally, I never planned on returning.\r
Recently, I was with a couple of friends who frequent Baldy's and i obliged. It was a friday night so of course there was a wait (20 mins or so). Only this time there were chairs up front and I was offered a drink. A glass of wine can make 20 mins feel like 5. We were sat and I casually mentioned something to the server about my last experience with the pork, expecting her not to care and offer another dish. On the contrary, she informed me that they had changed their previous ways of smoking and gave me a taste of their revised product (the pork and beef). I was impressed. I did go with the brisket that time -yum, but have returned several times since (didn't ake long for them to remember my name -i like that) and the pulled pork sandwich ""memphis style"" really hits the spot. So cheers to giving a semi-new spot another chance.
Pros: the service, the ribs, the location, the ribs ...and the ribs
Cons: a lot of people in a small space -can't wait for the patio to open
