Gibson's doesn't seem as good as it used to be, IMO.
Their food is interesting. I had it one time and I didn't like it.
Our daughter was having PT at Nisan (sp?) in Madison on County Line Road this past week and because of your recommendations, we looked this place up. It was the worst BBQ we've ever eaten without a doubt. I ordered, as I always do at a new place, a pork plate and the meat was not fresh and easy to tell it had been rewarmed over several days. When we left, I asked the lady when the meat was cooked. She said we do all our cooking Sunday and Monday.
That caught my eye! Why? More so, why .58?
Damn I'm sorry to hear that. I had their bbq ribs and chicken and it has always been great. It has been a minute since I've been there but it was always great.
I'm suprised the girl at the desk said they smoke Sunday and Monday because I've seen the owner up at the resturnant early in the morning, many times Iv'e passed by the place on way to work. Earliest I've seen was 5am 6am, etc throughout the week.
Yeah that was shocking. They always seemed to be smoking their meat that day. I've certainly never heard someone say it was the worst BBQ ever.
When did the trend start to price things on menu's at ...
you're the one wanting the penny gone. they done did away with the nickel, dime and quarter.
They'd still add tax to the 17 and leave me with some odd number. I have no idea what they charge for a bad check now-a-day. I still tend to think if everyone dealt with whole numbers there wouldn't be as much. But what do I know?
Yep, they've been on Morris Avenue the whole time. Between them and the original Gus's and Sneaky Pete's, much goodness was spawned down there. They would open their doors when roasting, the smell would waft down the street, and we'd look like we were following the Pied Piper around the corner from the banks. On a more recent note, the original Purple Onion was right there, too, but I don't think it's there anymore.
That was open when I was in school / Tuscaloosa. I've got a vague image in my head but I'm not sure that's the right place. I know I ate their food a few times: the parents (Dad) of a girl I was with at the time was a take out fan of the place.
Don't know why, but I was thinking the name of that peanut place on Morris was The Peanut Depot. I agree with you , the smell of those roasting peanuts in what look like antique machines was like no other. My old boss man turned me on to the place in the early 80's. Been there a good many times.
As I understand the story, Perry Cuda got his idea off of Sneaky Pete's. He made a pretty penny with his place.
