Absolute hands-down the best pork ribs I’ve ever had in my life.

    Looks absolutely amazing. Is that supposed to be Texas Toast though?

    I like going to the one in Houston. Best brisket imo

  4. CJRedbeard

    It looks good, but that’s an $18 plate.

    Thanks for sharing, won’t be going there. Price is ridiculously high – don’t care how good

    1 1/2 cup chili- $3,
    Assorted pickled veggies- $2,
    Two slices white bread $.50,
    1 1/2 cup mashed potatoes- $4,
    Four pork ribs- $10,
    ~six oz. tri tip- $8,
    Total $27.50
    What happened to the other $20?

    Smh.. as a new Yorker i was under the impression that bbq meals were cheap and plentiful in the south.. i see i was mislead by public programing

    Most BBQ at restaurants aren’t even that good and for these prices it’s insane. I bought 4 slabs of spare ribs today for $42 Dollars. There is no way in hell I’m paying that much for that plate of food.

    $43 plate w/ plastic forks is a sham

    43$?? Noooo. Don’t give a faaaahhhhkkk. No bbq is worth 43 a plate.

  17. MikeGoldberg

    I don’t recall paying quite that much when I went

    I can’t believe anyone is paying that much for a plate of bbq. What a rip off.

    I can make this at home for less than $10, considering that looks like 1/2 lb of meat.

    I’ve got no problems paying $50 for a plate of food that is going to someone’s expertise. But when I can do a better job for less then $12. I’m gonna pass. If that’s what “good BBQ” is the PNW will blow minds.

    I could make that meal for my whole family for $43.

    This is why I just do my own BBQ at home. Baby back and spare ribs bounce between $2.50-$3.50 a lb. Everything else on that plate is dirt cheap, pennies. $43 they better be sucking your dick too

    Sorry for your loss. 🥲
    The beans and white bread look good though…

  27. YenZen999

    I look at that plate and think maybe $24. And that is allowing for the crazy run-up of everything since 2020.

    BBQ is so trendy that the prices have lost touch with reality.

  28. Automatic-theory91

    Is that brisket? Ribs look good, if that is brisket it looks terrible, is that a pound of meat?

  29. Automatic-theory91

    Really hate that reddit doesn’t have pics as on option on comments. I’d show you a pic of the family meal at the place I go in VA for $46!
