Yum!
This is the kind of place where you know the food will be good as soon as you walk in. There’s not even a sign with the name on the outside yet. It’s decorated simply, with huge old gas station signs and other antiques. Half a ’48 Plymouth (I think) is mounted on the wall. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture so you’ll have to go see it yourself.
The focus is on the food, as it should be. It’s been open about five weeks according to Damon, the very friendly [owner?/manager?] who visited all the tables.
The menu has the basic BBQ offerings like ribs and chicken (plus a chicken salad if you want something a little lighter.) I had the 1/4 chicken with fries – excellent! Others had the BBQ chicken hoagie with beans, and the 1/4 chicken with greens, which they said were very good. Each of our meals was $7, and the amount of food I got was just right for lunch. I’d definitely go back again.
They also do catering and delivery (to downtown locations). They’re open just for lunch right now, from 11 am to 2 pm. Damon says they start cooking every day at 3 am! That’s dedication and I really appreciate it!
I also had the pleasure of meeting Bob and Sharon, who blog about restaurants in Modesto. Very nice folks. And they care about supporting local small businesses. Give their blog a visit.
Picky Eaters Index=1 You’ll do fine here. (I usually don’t even like BBQ sauce – sacrilege I know – but I loved this!)
One Hour Limit? Two thumbs up! My schedule was tighter than usual, but even with a room full of customers, we were out the door in about 40 minutes.
Meet New Peeps? Check!
What’s this lunch tour thing about, anyway?
