Just Gross

Last night, Marc and I headed out to meet a friend that we have in town.  We wanted to grab something to eat before we met up and decided to try the BBQ House on Wells.  We have driven by many times and have always wanted to stop.  The menu consisted of sandwiches and such.  The least expensive sandwich being $9.99.  I didn't thing much of it expecting to to come with a lot of sides or something 'big' for it to be worth the $10.  I ordered the Oakland style (who knew Oakland was into BBQ?) that was supposed to be a BBQ beef sandwich topped with coleslaw.  This is how Patty McCormick told me true BBQ sanwiches are made in the south. Our order was $28 for two sandwiches and two sodas.  For those a little slow on the math....that is almost $3 for a fountain soda!!!!  Really too much. I was once told that a 24oz fountain soda actually only cost about $.35.  What a profit.  So we sat outside and were presented with two plates. (Marc got the same thing with pork) It was an french roll filled with BBQ beef and two small Styrofoam cups of slaw and beans.  The sandwich was just okay.  Really nothing to rave about and in fact, I like Port of Subs BBQ sandwich a lot more and that is just heated up roast beef in BBQ sauce. The slaw was plain - not even any carrots in it.  Just mayo and cabbage. The beans were peppery.  Like someone had accidentally poured pepper in.  I pictured a person making the beans and the lid accidentally coming off. (Ever done that with salt or pepper?  I hate that!)  We ate it because we were hungry and had paid a buttload for it.  About 10 minutes later, I thought I was going to be sick.  Ugh.....such a gut bomb.  What a waste of money.  They don't go out of business because they charge way too much for their food, but I have a hard time believing that people really LOVE this place.  Yuck. Avoid it......or if you want BBQ, head to Port of Subs:)
