Review Of The Week: Of Chicken And Ribs
We didn't get a lot of duds this week, so we thought we'd focus our attention on a review that actually did get validated and is very helpful for other diners. Here's one that came in for Shorty's Bar-B-Q:
I had heard about this place...and wished I hadn't b/c I think my expectations were too high. And that wasn't fair to poor shorty. First, I think all the servers I spoke with were great. And if the world wasn't what it was, they'd all be doing well elsewhere. Seriously. The prices are pretty good, and you can go to their website for coupons to save even more. The food was tasty. However, their wings are kind of burned tasting and for some reason appeared on our table with zero sauce. I think that's how it was supposed to happen though. Their ribs need a little more slow cooking time to make them less tough and more fall off the bone. At least, that's how I like it. From the popularity of the joint...I'm probably in the minority. They tasted good once you loaded on the bbq sauce they provide with your plate. Their chicken was perfectly done though. Both BBQ sauces I tried were excellent. I will be going back to try the pulled pork plate soon b/c that with the BBQ sauce might be way way up my alley. French fries were good, corn was good, bread was good. Even though the corn and bread may have both been victims of fake butter. If you have kids...they can make noise here. The seating is all long tables and seat yourself though. I'm not a fan of that if you arrive when it's busy. All in all though, I will go back in the not too distant future. I love bbq and I think this is one of the few places that specializes in it in the area.Gives you a good sense of the place, right? We learn that it's a big, noisy, family-friendly place serving pretty good but not knock-your-socks-off-great barbecue.
