We went here using a coupon that Bill got for his birthday. During Tucson #1, we ate at this restaurant several times but since moving back to Tucson and living in another part of town with excellent BBQ places, we haven't been back. Some errands on the NW side plus this birthday coupon led us back.
Bill said he enjoyed this meal more than his "official" birthday meal at Chad's. Except for the service. Our waiter Bobby was darling and friendly but off in another world. After bringing us water, he disappeared for a long time before coming back and taking our order. The food came really fast. But then we waited an even longer time for some take home boxes and the check. We could see Bobby check other booths but it was like he had blinders on.
but back to the food - the most important part. Bill had ribs which he said were some of the best he's ever eaten; so tender they were like baby backs. I got Georgia pulled pork; wonderful. The table had 5 different sauces ranging from the Carolina vinegary sauce to sweet and sassy to Devil's Pit!!!! With each entree you got a cornbread muffin and corn on the cob (frozen, of course so it was tough but the flavor wasn't too bad and the muffin was really good if crumbly) and 2 sides.
Bill chose green beans (just OK) and french fries. Deliciously crispy. I got baked beans which were great and potato salad which was disappointing as it was fairly bland. We brought home lots of meat and most of Bill's fries.
So all in all, a very good meal inspite of the waiting.
We're getting a Dave's in Redding...will be near Trader Joe's.
