Great Ribs!

by ms_l

Tried this place out along with 3 other people. We made sure to get different dishes to try lots of things. Of course, that meant we also had lots of leftovers. My favorite dish was the ribs. No way we could eat them all, but its great to take some home. I'm not a big BBQ rib fan, but these were excellent and will be what I order when I go back. Tried the steak with cheese and chili topping. The flavors were wonderful but the cut of meat had a bit too much gristle for me. The fried shrimp were good (I know, I know. Shrimp in a BBQ joint. My friend had to order them though). The BBQ pork sandwich was literally a ton of meat plunked between two pieces of bread with sauce on the side. I was the least impressed with this entre of all the ones I tried. Now, onto the sides. The onion rings tasted like the frozen variety. The potato wedges were average. The coleslaw was yummy. Service was good. The meal a bit pricey. Oh, and they had my fav beer Stella Artois on tap. Woohoo! Get there early or you'll have a long wait for a table.

• Pros: good 'cue
• Cons: long wait if you don't get there early

Quarters RULES ALL.

It's not fancy like County Line, but the value is EXCELLENT (especially on the take out - ask for extra sauce!) and the sauce is what make my mouth water just thinking about it. Decorations have unusual antiques on the walls. Very down-home. It's my TOP BBQ place EVER. It leaves Rudy's in the dust in ALL aspects. It can get packed and busy so get there EARLY for dinner for optimum service. Great variety of beers on tap and bottle. Have plenty of napkins on hand, you WILL get clown-faced with the ribs AND LOVE EVERY BITE!

• Pros: THE SAUCE, Everything's yummy, To-go door value
• Cons: Can get busy, Limited parking
