This is one thing a Chicago BBQ lover can agree with Kansas on. I recently went to the Kirkman Rd location and was reminded of why it had been a year since my only other visit ( I forgot)!\r
I worked 7 years for Mikey D and owned a Jamaican restaurant for 5 yrs.\r
Visit -Saturday afternoon Nov 07\r
Service-""D"" When I ordered ""take out"" I had some misgivings, as I was used to ordering spare ribs ""by the slab"", I mistakenly thought that I had negotiated this and settled on baby back instead of my desired spare ribs. I could just understand through the West Indian Island accent of the order taker but I think he said something about getting 4 spare ribs if I should choose.\r
I waited for appx 10-15 mins in spite of only one previously ordered guest before mine and a crew of 4 in the grill area.\r
Cleanliness-""B"" what I saw of the restaurant was good.\r
Quality-""D"" I guess if your expectations are not very high YOU might rate it higher and as I stated, I prefer spare ribs. The baby backs lacked flavor and not much flavor was added by the sauce. The meat was tender but I would think not ""rubbed"" or marinated with seasonings. The sides were filler for the small portion.\r
Value-""D""- I think I got about 4-5 baby back ribs. At first I was dissappointed by only getting one small container of sauce, after I had requested ""Allotta Sauce"", but it proved to be enough sauce for the small portion.\r
Ambiance""?"" The order before mine was an LPGA tour pro, forgot her name, I wanna forget the experience.\r
Cecil's Texas Style BBQ**** is lots better (imho), larger portions, better sauce, better choice of sides. All the cops eat there.\r
I'd still give my ""eye-teeth"" for ""Lem's"" or ""Carsons"" out of Chicago.
Pros: Nice ""Wall of Fame"" photos
Cons: Quality,Service and Value
