How many BBQ joints does it take to make a good entrtmnt district?

Atmosphere was solid.  It will be interesting once they are dine with patio and add live music.

Be even more so once the rooftop area is put in.

The wife & I enjoyed dinner last night.  Had ribs, corn on the cob, fried green tomatoes & mac n cheese.  Everything was good.  Mac n cheese was only item I wouldn't order again.  It's homestyle mac n cheese and I bet they'll tweak it. 

Service was great.  As good or better than any table service I've received in the Blue Dome.

New Mac and Cheese on its way from what I hear.

The interior of Back Alley is good.  I remembered to go in the correct way.   The outdoor seating area will be a plus.

No updated mac and cheese yet.

We'll look for it next time we go.  My wife orders mac and cheese anytime it's available.

We went to Back Alley today for lunch. Things were good, but they didn't have Texas Toast. How do you have a BBQ place without Texas Toast?

I really liked the okra and the onion rings. Our party tried all the sides and others raved about the fried green tomatoes and the baked beans.

I won't go back until tonight (because I am full).

Meh....cheap decor...the sauce has too much vinegar....the meats just ok.

and no scotch for a gf .....you see, it's all american in a global society. GMAFB.

An equilibrium will be reached between income, people, and  will power which will spell disaster for some of the players downtown.

You have got to be one of the most difficult people to please on the planet. Enjoy your gloom and doom while the rest of us live our lives. Good night!

You hate honesty? You don't like people's opinions unless they line up with yours? GMAFB. 3 BBQ places and you expect everyone to like them all?

I actually had a butt load of complaints about the place but tried to be short....

Didn't see where he said he hated your opinion...he was merely making an observation.

One I agree with.

It was more of a statement collectively covering your posts on here instead of just that one (although it contributed). It seems like everything is too loud, low class, unsophisticated, or too cheap for you to enjoy. The owners of these restaurants are catering to a more casual demographic because that is who is downtown and will bring in the most money. I don't hate your opinion I'm just sick of them all being negative.

You must not be reading the sarcastic ones....

I stopped in for lunch yesterday and still have leftovers in the fridge;  I liked the sauce, it is Memphis style not the same old same old that is served by all the bbqs in town.I can see stopping in for a Schlitz amd some fried dill pickles in the afternoon.

What is "Texas Toast?" It sounds disgusting.

[RecycleMichael]

It does sound bad.

It is just packaged white bread sliced at double the thickness then buttered and grilled on both sides.

Thick, white and lightly cooked (sounds just like me).

The waitress brought me corn muffins instead. They were good.

I saved some of the sauce from my visit last week for FMC to try.  Between us we figured out the mystery spice was rosemary.  It was such a familiar taste, but I simply could not figure it out.
