After a doctor’s appointment in Denver, I was hungry for
barbeque. We arrived a little after 5 on
a Friday night. The building was fairly
empty when we arrived but it filled up by the time we were leaving as was the
parking lot between the Harkins Theater and Bass pro shop. We were seated right away and they brought us
a basket of cheese muffins and took our drink orders which were all cokes. We also ordered some onion rings as well.
These muffins were delicious and probably the
best bread type item served before a meal I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The onion rings were served with ketchup and
the waitress asked if we wanted ranch with them and I said yes. She took quite a while to bring this back and
the rings were half gone by the time she returned.
The onion rings were not the best, I couldn’t
bite through the onion. The onion was
tough and it would just pull out of the breading. The ranch was really thin and dripped all
over the place between the plate and my mouth.
The onion rings were disappointing but we still had dinner to go. I ordered the pulled pork plate with fried
green tomatoes and collard greens. Mom
had the same plate but with different sides.
Dad had the turkey plate with mac and cheese and French fries. When the food arrived the plates were large
and looked good.
The pork was good
pulled pork, not the best but better than most.
It wasn’t pulled all that well though.
A lot of it was still connected.
The fried green tomatoes I wanted to try since I’ve never had them
before, these were ok, but they didn’t seem to taste like much, but the
breading I did not care for. The collard
greens were quite tasty there was something with a little spice to it along
with ham and the greens themselves were very good. I wish I would have asked for some more
muffins to dip in the liquid, but by that time I was too full for that.
Dad’s turkey was good, I sampled his mac and
cheese and it was very good. Mom was not
so sure about the food. This place may
not have had the best bbq, but it was good and the cheese muffins were
excellent and enough to get me back.
