It's quite sad to me when people come online and give 1 or 2 star ratings for stupid reasons. I have no idea what most of you negative people are yapping about. Being "overhyped" is not a reason to dislike anything. Thats an indication that you give more credibility to what others say than to your own opinion. ----
Here's the real deal about Baby Blue's from a guy who stumbled upon it. No bias, no BS. I've had A LOT of BBQ in my day. I've been here about 10 times now, and only after 10 times would I dare leave a comment. Who forms an opinion after one dinner? Are you nuts? Every place has an off day, don't be a punk and slam a place for that. The mac n cheese is great, especially when they leave lots of "burnt" pieces in it. Seems to have some blue or gorgonzola in it. For that one moron who said it had green and blue bits of mold.. oh come on. The corn on the cob (with cotija cheese?) isn't a new idea but they do it well and it's excellent. Beans are fantastic, might do without the kidney beans though. Okra is usually very well cooked and tasty. Babybacks are fall-off-the-bone good with a good shot of seasoning. The beef rib is a Fred-Flintstone sized single bone with a hunk of tender, crispy (burnt on occasion) beef. Again, very good. In fact, I've had just about everything they make here and truthfully, it's in my top 3 So-Cal BBQ spots.
Its not the biggest or fanciest place, but then again, if it were, it would lose its flavor. The place is dumpy and that's exactly how it should be. The cooks really care about their food, the waitresses care about their jobs (and they're cute too!). Bottom line is that this place is WAY above average and they're on point about 85 - 90% of the time. If you like $9 meals and coupons for God's sake, just stay home. It's not cheap but really, it's not expensive. If you don't like this place then you're either being an elitist blow-hard or you really don't know good BBQ. Baby Blue's is excellent.
Pros: The whole package. Make sure you try the babybacks, corn on the cob and mac n cheese.
Cons: A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Don't be a cheap-o. Good food costs money.
