I have eaten at Baby Blues so many times, I can't give you a number. I have eaten in as well as ordered delivery, and I've tried just about everything. Pork ribs, however, are my favorite food and I haven't had any that beat the ones I get from Baby Blues. The meat is so tender and succulent. I've never had a bad meal. I'm just so thankful to have wound up living in Venice right down the street from such a great place. For those who can't "smell the smoke," ahem, yes. Yes, you can. It's takes everything in my power not to eat there everyday. As for the portions; they are generous. With my ribs, I can choose two sides plus a piece of cornbread to top it off. I'm an oinker, so I will order an extra side, as well as a side of BBQ shrimp or pulled pork that I drown in their tangy sauce. I could drink that stuff. Seriously. No, it's not your thick molassas-y stuff, so if that's what you consider good BBQ, than maybe they aren't for you. But, the meat is so good, you don't even need sauce. As for price, get over it. It's a great deal for quality food, and it's actually not even that expensive. How many places can you go to and create a platter of four meat selections, whether it's pulled pork, baby backs, beef ribs, chicken, shrimp, catfish - you get the idea - as well as 3 sides and cornbread for under $30? Not many. Not many I would want to eat at, that's for sure. Anyway, bottom line, I've eaten here a lot, and I've always enjoyed it. I think people get caught up writing bad reviews, and I equate them with the picky people I used to serve when I waited tables. I don't know why all of a sudden a person walks into a restaurant and they transform into the high priest of food service, and act like complete jerks. Get over yourselves. Stop being mean, and wisen up to the great things the world has to offer - like Baby Blues BBQ!
Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Great Price, GREAT BBQ!
Cons: I have to smell it everyday, and restrain myself from moving in.
