In the past few weeks, I've tried both.
The boneless strips were really good. Moist, spicy, and a good portion size. No big drop-off from Wings 'N' Things. Unlike Wings 'N' Things, they give you a choice of fries or breadsticks with your combo.
Nice to have a wings option located a little closer to me.
The ribs were pretty meh. Not horrible, but I'll probably never order them again. I don't know why I keep ordering ribs all around town expecting someone, anyone, to be able to compete with Phil's. So far, no one has come close.
Stop in if you find yourself on the La Mesa portion of ECB. The chicken is good. Just don't spend too much time reading the signs. I counted about ten spelling and grammatical errors without even trying. And these were professionally made signs, not handwritten ones. This is what happens when you marry an English teacher.
those ribs look like a Salisbury steak instead of ribs! a food fanatic like yourself has got to come to Memphis and try ribs at the Rendezvous! Best ribs period! they are cooked over charcoal and they are dry rub, but pour some of their hot bbq sauce on em like i do and man!! can't be beat. me and my wifey went to chicago mainly for pizzeria uno's and al's #1 italian beef this summer!! if i ever come to cali i plan to pick some of your reviews for restaurants to hit!
ReplyDeleteThere's probably not a place in the state of California that can hold a candle to the worst place in Memphis. Phil's BBQ is amazing by San Diego standards, but you probably would not be impressed. I especially like South Carolina BBQ, if that's the one that uses a lot of vinegar.
