Have you tried Country Tavern?

Wife and I went to Country Tavern last night after not having been for a few months (been busy having another baby).

1. What the hell happened to the staff? It used to consist 100% of moderately attractive-to-super hot girls. Last night it was all dogs. Did they change owners?

2. The ribs last night were the best I've ever had there.

The manager used to work at the Acura dealership. I forget his name but I bought a Legend from him once. I think he is gone now. The BBQ is still good, but the decor may have changed in his absense. Just a guess..

His name was David. I wonder what did happen to him. He was a part owner in it, just got married several months ago, hmmmmm.

Well, I gave it a shot and tried the Country Tavern. To be honest, it was not that great. Of course I only tried the smoked sausage and my wife's burger. Perhaps thier ribs are better. I do have to admit I liked the building though : )
maybe I will give it another shot and try something else later.
Any more suggestions?

Ribs and brisket. The sausage is fine, but unremarkable. Never tried the burger, wife likes the ribeye, which wasn't as good last time. It used to consistently be one of the best in town.

Get the au gratin potatoes.

That Smokey Bones was on Youree Drive, a "cant miss" location, or so one would've thought. Thats prime real estate, and all of the other joints are crowded as hell on Friday night and the weekends! Makes ya wonder how bad they must've been if they couldnt turn a profit there.
