Savannah's BBQ

Just to preface, I went to the original Savannah's BBQ (before changing locations). I'm not sure if the ownership, menu, etc are the same (or the same as Smokin' Blues), but I did enter with some preconceived notions of the restaurant as a whole.

With that said, I arrived around 6:30 Pm on a Friday night. I was greeted and seated promptly by the hostess.
As with most places, I was asked what I wanted to drink, they had a few selections (Coca Cola products, teas, lemonades, etc.), but I decided to go with a bottle of sarsaparilla and a water. I ordered a half rack of ribs with baked beans, and side salad.

The dinner came with complimentary cornbread and butter. The cornbread was unique and very tasty. It was moderately sweet and cheesey, slightly dry and mealy (as expected with cornbread), but overall  very enjoyable.  The butter served with it seemed like a whipped sweet cream butter with (what I thought was) confectioners sugar mixed in. It almost tasted like a very light, whipped, butter cream cake frosting.

The salad was pretty basic. Iceberg lettuce with ranch and cucumbers.  They put a twist on the croutons by using (sweet) cornbread instead. 

The ribs were slow cooked and pulled of the bone pretty easily. The ribs were coated in their tasty KC style house sauce (Sweet & Sassy). The table had  5 or 6 other sauces to try. I went ahead and tried the rest and one or two stuck out to me (a zestier and a Texas style sauce).

The baked beans were pretty tasy. It had some shreds/chunks of pork just like I like. The overall flavor was good too. However, I like my beans a little thicker (more like stew) and theirs were served pretty runny (closer to soup).

One of the other bqq staples (in my mind) is coleslaw.  I went ahead and ordered some part way through my dinner. I was pretty disappointed. The slaw was pretty bland and the sauce had a weird texture. The shreds of cabbage, etc were crisp and fresh, but the sauce was a similar texture to yogurt (I'm used to mine being slightly runnier).

Unfortunately,  I was only able to enjoy a few items from their menu,  but my experience was very positive.  I would recommend checking this place out. If you would like to view Savannah's BBQ menu, it is somewhat difficult to find, so just click the link above.
