What the?

Been there three times in the past year, my boss bought everytime, there's no way in h*** I'd pay for that experience. Anyone who gives this place more than three stars must be an employee of Pats. 80% of the customers when I've been there were male. Now there's nothing wrong with that except that most guys will eat anything and like it. DON'T waste your time and money, very over priced.

• Pros: BBQ sauce
• Cons: Price, quality, service, crowd

didn't live up to the hype for us

by kmwarner at Citysearch

Took 3 of my kids plus a son-in-law to lunch today. I saw Pat's featured on a Food Network show and wanted to try it out. We got there at 1 pm. It was busy, but not *that* busy.

Took a good 45 minutes to get our food after we ordered, which seemed rather excessive considering what we ordered. They ran out of ice, so we were served warm drinks. I had a soda that was flat and terribly watered down - had to send it back and got water instead. Waitress never came by to check on us for refills while we waited the 45 minutes for our food.

We had such anticipation for the food. The consensus at our table was that it wasn't bad, but it wasn't really great either. The buns on the pulled pork sandwiches were a bit dry - they definitely didn't taste fresh. The sides all tasted like they came out of one of those bulk containers from Costco or Sam's Club. Again, not bad but not great.

The meat & sauce was good-- we had pulled pork, chicken, and beef tips--but it wasn't so good that any of us considered it worth the wait, drive, price, or the suffering through the terrible service. The kids' opinions were that Sugarhouse BBQ is just as good and even better in some ways, plus Sugarhouse BBQ has much better service.

Am really wondering why the Food Network bothered to feature this place and recommend it to people.

• Pros: everyone in my group liked the cornbread
• Cons: exceptionally poor service, food was mediocre

Not what I was expecting

I was excited to try this place out. I love barbeque ribs. Now, I understand everyone's tastes are different, so I wasn't going to unfairly mark it a one star because this wasn't up to par with mine. This is how they do ribs here. They are dry rubbed and smoked with the sauce on the side. I like my ribs falling off the bone and smothered in sauce. On the upside it was fast to get take out, though the girl at the counter was kind of frosty, and the cornbread was yummy.

• Pros: Fast service
• Cons: Not my kind of barbeque
