Big Daddy's 3001 SE Hawthorne

The other night we went with friends to "Three Doors Down" and noticed a grand opening sign on the building at the NE corner of 30th & Hawthorne. It is called Big Daddy's and I tried it today for lunch.

Sorry folks, it will not be high on my list of BBQ places in town. It is comparatively expensive for what it is and it is only sorta passable BBQ IMHO. Six meaty, but not particularly flavorful pork ribs, 2 sides "peanut hot cole slaw"?? and collard greens and a glass of ice water for $11.45 plus tip. The place has the same non-ambiance it had in its previous incarnations. 4 sauces available in plastic squeeze bottles, Memphis, sweet, Texas Hot and Carolina Mustard. Texas hot has some flavor, but I am not big on squirting sauce on my ribs.

Personnally, if I am on the east side, I'd rather drive the extra distance to Campbells
