Brown's Barbeque

I LOVE good BBQ.  Riding my motorcycle by here and stopped in for lunch.  I dont mind dive restaurants, but the food better be good.  I was highly disapointed.  I ordered Burnt Ends and my wife pulled pork.  Both tasted like they were smoked last week, sat in the fridge, and were warmed up prior to serving.  This took us by surprise as we were sure their smoker was going. Never again will I waste my $ or time here.  Sorry folks, this one is bad.

I went right after it opened and I personally didn't care for this place.  When we walked in we had to wait forever for a waitress.  It was so small (used to be an old sonic) you could barely move.  There were maybe 5 people in the whole place and still with two people sitting at a table the chairs were so close you couldn't move your arms and we are both really small people.  I can't imagine what it would be like if the place were full.  The prices were high I thought for the amount of food.  I got a small half sandwich and drink and spent $8.  There was so much fat on the sandwich it was inedible.  The only thing I could eat was the bun.  I told the waitress that as she gave us the check and took our plates and she could see that there was none gone and she said "ya that happens sometimes".  That's it.  She didn't offer to fix the problem or anything.  So I doubt that I will be returning anytime soon.

I can describe this place with one word: YUM! Disguised in an old Sonic Drive In, this place is a wonderful little gem. The smell of hickory greets you as you head towards the door. Once inside you're welcomed by friendly, helpful staff. The ribs are great. They were served dry (which is the way I like them). They had a wonderful flavor and were very meaty. I've also had the fried chicken (the special on Wednesday and Sunday). It's actually pan-fried which you do not much of any more. Of course, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the homemade cinnamon rolls, the homemade rolls, and real mashed potatoes. I've heard Thursday is hot beef night. Hmmm...I wonder if they would be willing to open a second place in Kansas City?
