Bar-Be-Que. It’s a word synonymous with ‘America’. People have been BBQ’ing forever, and many have made it an art form. A messy, sugary-spicy art to be certain, but it takes some skill (and lots of patience) to slow cook that meat to perfection.
And down at Red’s Backwoods’ BBQ, they are painting a masterpiece. The décor is very ‘BBQ-y’; wood, benches, tables. Nothing extraordinary. And the service is good; polite staff and timely. But really, we’re here to discuss that succulent meat and sides, not a chair or server.
First thing you should know is that every day of the week, Red’s is offering up an ‘All U Can Eat’ section. This means all you want of whatever is on special for that day, PLUS limitless side dishes (Monday’s are recommended, as it is ‘Customer’s Choice’).
Prices for that deal run between 13.99-18.99 per person, which considering what you get (and if you’re a healthy eater), that’s a steal. Regardless if you choose to gorge yourself on the aforementioned deal, their entire menu of smoky treats is well worth the visit.
Chicken, turkey, beef and pork; it’s all a paved road to the land where flavor was invented. They have six different sauces to choose from, and in my opinion, only about two of them are worthwhile. However, it’s the delectable smoke goodness and perfect pink coloring throughout the meats that make it so succulent.
And the sides are rockin’ as well. Corn muffins, sweet potato wedges dusted with cinnamon sugar, broccoli sautéed in garlic, baked beans with chunks of pork fat, tangy coleslaw…each one just begging to be consumed by a worthy patron.
Really, there’s not much more to say. Red’s is like a really good movie you just saw: You want to tell the world about its awesomeness, but you only tell them enough about it to whet their appetites, because it would be a great injustice to spoil the ending. So I stop here. Go try Red’s. And tell the others.
After all, it’s just Da(m)n Good Food.
