I should have known better - I purchased a Robinson's #1 Ribs Groupon a while back and thought I had better use it. I stopped yesterday afternoon for carry-out. What a disappointment. The Groupon was for an appetizer and a full slab or two other entrees and a side. Since most of the appetizers are also BBQ related, I just decided to get a Caesar salad and a full slab. The salad was OK - the Romaine was fresh and crisp and came with Marzetti's packaged dressing. The ribs were just OK, as was the sauce they were swimming in. The cole slaw tasted funny - I'm not sure whether it was old or just some weird spice. I chose potato salad as a side - partially raw potatoes and completely tasteless. After I tasted it, I dumped a little vinegar on it as well as some salt and pepper and stirred it up. That gave it a little flavor. I won't be back.
