Today, I am going to tell you about two restaurants the folks visited and then tomorrow, I will talk about President Garfield's house which according to Mama was beautiful.
Friday night, the folks ate at a place called Woody's Bar B&Q. It had mixed reviews, but the folks are learning that one or two bad reviews does not mean the place is bad. They arrived after 7 p.m. and the place was packed. Mama had heard the service was slow, but it wasn't bad at all. Mama ordered the Pork Sampler which was the special. It had two spare ribs, Carolina Pulled Pork and BBQ Pork and Texas toast. Her side items were coleslaw and french fries. She didn't care for the spare ribs. They were tough. She loved the rest of the meal though. The coleslaw was so creamy. The Carolina Pulled Pork was absolutely delicious. The sliced pork was so tender. She raved about it all night and into Saturday.

Dad ordered the Shrimp and Baby Back Ribs. He said the shrimp was okay, but it's a BBQ place not a seafood place. He said the baby back ribs were really good. He had a sweet potato and coleslaw as his sides. They both really liked the place and would eat here again if they had more time.
Saturday, the folks set out to get a replacement battery for their Mi-Fi (Internet service). It is under warranty, but the store will not exchange it. It has to be sent back to Verizon and they will mail us a new one. That is a little difficult right now since we are on the road and not all campgrounds allow for mail delivery. They stopped at Batteries Plus and to see how much a replacement battery is and it is $40. Dad said that was too much money, so Mama will have to wait for the replacement from Verizon when we get home. It's not a big deal because it still works when it is plugged in. It just doesn't run off the battery.
They stopped at B Spot Burgers which is one of Michael Symon's restaurants. He is on The Chew and I think Iron Chef America. We watch The Chew.
The restaurant is located in a strip mall. The large window opens so there is a lot of fresh air.

Symon Says Burger - $8 |
Yo! Burger - $9 |
Chili Cheese Fries - $7 |
It was a fun restaurant to visit, but a little overpriced. If we are ever back in the area, they may eat here again.
The folks ate at two more places on Sunday that they really liked, so there will be more food porn as gyeong calls it. LOL
We still don't have a definite on our next destination, but we are pretty sure we are not going home.

They look like good places to eat, that is clever how they have made a display with the beer cans.
ReplyDeleteHope your battery arrives soon.

When I first looked at the beer can wall I thought it was a 13. The food looks very good. I am a rib dog myself, good,ok, bad, I just love them.

Those ribs looked really good. For $8., a burger should definitely come with fries! Looking forward to a clue about where you might be going next.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge meat person, but I do like an interesting hamburger. My current favorite is the Purvis Burger...regular cheeseburger with peanut butter on it. Sounds horrible, is yummy. It's at Route 66 in West Lafayette, IN. I can't blame Joey. You go away and then come home smelling of meat. No fair!
ReplyDeleteWe're big fans of Five Guys Burgers And Fries burgers. Maybe you should have you humans go there! I hope your adventure goes on a bit longer!

Carnivorous Yummy! At least it works plugged in. No internet on the road is not a good place to be.
ReplyDeleteNine bucks for just a burger? Crazy talk. Ambiance looks pretty cool in there, though.
