3 hungover guys looking for 2 things- CRAB meat and BIG portions. I suggested Timbuktu and hyped it up the whole way on rt.100. We were not disappointed. Crabcake platter for myself, Smokehouse Trio for one meathead, Rib n Cake combo for the other..... Crab cake was all lump. Smokehouse trio had huge portions of pulled pork (very tasty) and brisket (decent and not dry). Ribs were so-so, kind of chewy. The place is under construction and kind of smelled like my buddy's basement growing up that had hint of mildew. I was able to get over the smell cuz it was masked by the bbq sauce on my upper lip and the wonderful aroma of post 2nd hand smoke (everybody in the joint smoked). Bathrooms here were kind of clean (A must after eating that much food- did I mention the trio came with baked beans....?) Cole Slaw portions were enough to feed somalia but I dont even think they would eat it- no taste..... Bartender was friendly and on the ball with refills and my many keno attempts at never having to work again. We sat at the bar amidst many older folk who were regulars (hence the title of this review). Friendly blue-collar atmosphere. Not sure why major league lax game was on main TV. I mean- Who wants to watch a young guy who doubles as a teacher try to score a goal.... Man that guy must be struggling... I doubt he'd be able to afford to eat the way our trio ate today..... BUT- if he has some leftover Christmas money; I'd suggest he use it wisely...... - A Feast at Timbuktu and $10 for some keno plays. This place ranks up there on my list of local Hon grubbing establishments- just under seaside. I'm going back after my next diet fails. The diet starts tomorrow so I'll be back in 48 hrs.
Pros: Lump meat only, reasonable prices, PORTIONS
Cons: Mildew aroma, Nursing Home atmosphere
