Okay, so it was a Monday and past the lunch rush (2pm), but that doesn't excuse ribs that have obviously been sitting in a steam table for hours. The ribs had no crispy bark texture at all and slipped far too easily off the bone with a slimy, gooey feel. Yuck! Smoke was slightly there, but I couldn't discern any hint of a spice rub. This is just plain laziness if you ask me.
The sides were good, however. The slaw was nice and beans had a nice spicy kick. The orange-cream soda was a flavorful accompaniment.
Ambiance? Well, there was Texas kitsch everywhere, but the two guys running the place didn't seem interested in me or if I was enjoying their crappy ribs. They were both seated at a table in the dining room looking rather sleepy until one of them started talking to his credit card company on his cell phone while pacing the dining room where I was eating. He had time to talk to his credit card company, but didn't have time to ask me how I was enjoying my lunch. Lame and, again, lazy.
I spent 15 bucks on a crappy lunch and won't be back.
Pros: Good baked beans
Cons: Poorly done ribs, didn't feel that welcome
