Gonna call-out the St. Louis-style ribs, meaty and flavorful. I loved the Kansas City and Memphis sauces. Believe it or not the star of the show - cowboy beans! I could've eaten a bucket full OMG they were great. Service was friendly and prompt and I can't say enough about a first visit. Really, really good. I'll be back for sure. To everyone at Stringtown - thank you.

Oh yeah, and did I say they are per friendly? We got a sample platter which I cannot remember the name of but it came with brisket, turkey, chicken, and ribs. We also got mashed potatoes, coleslaw, collard greens, and their cheesy potatoes. The only complaint I have is the brisket was a little overdone and dry, but the chicken was so juicy and delicious. The turkey and the ribs were to die for.

Given it's double the price of a single meat platter, I expected it to comfortably feed two. On the platter were two solid ribs, a quarter dark chicken, and one hot link which were all solid sharing portions. Brisket which I understand would be one of the more expensive items - was one slice plus a sliver of a dry end attached to it. I'm not sure if that's one slice or a one slice plus what one was counting as a second slice. This was a disappointing mark - I thought about asking the server about whether we should have at least a full second slice. Pulled pork - to me is a much less expensive item compared to brisket - yet a relatively small amount. Not as egregious as the easily measured brisket. Cole slaw - even if it was made in house as opposed a commercial bulk supplier, this is a low cost item no? Small dish. Quality is very good - just a question of the quantity. Tap water here seems filtered for neutral taste. It was a nice day on a quiet Sunday afternoon so we opted to get seated outside on the patio with umbrella shade. Traffic going by was light and quiet. Two servers available during the lull while we were there and the worked as a team to check on us outside.

The bathrooms were clean with Cintas dispensers for soap, tissue and towels. We had two three meat specials. Catfish, chicken wing dings and rib tips with fried okra, collard greens and the other with green beans and candied yams. The chicken had a dry rub on it. We couldn't really taste it, but they were well cooked well. Fried hard and crunchy with a tender fillet inside. The rib tips were good but seemed more like mini ribs. They were tender but didn't fall apart. The greens were a bit spicy but so good. The fried okra melts in your mouth. The candied yams were sugar sweet and full of flavor. The green beans had bacon in them. Overall it was a great meal. Go enjoy You won't be disappointed!
