The Scene
The theme is country western, with walls decorated with album covers by the likes of Tammy Wynette, Tanya Tucker and Elvis. Corny sayings dot the menu, including the restaurant motto: ''BBQ so good, it makes you wanna slap your pappy.'' It's a loud crowd, so if you're looking for more conversation-friendly decibel levels, request a booth.
The Food
Hickory-smoked barbecue is the star. A favorite starter is the smoking wings, which are smoked then fried and sauced up. If your group is ravenously hungry, get the Barnyard Platter--a huge tray with two kinds of ribs, chicken, pork chops and side dishes. The pork ribs are offered either wet (with sauce) or dry (spices rubbed directly into the meat). The chicken is marinated--not sauced--and juicy. A star among the side dishes is the mayo-free slaw: chopped cabbage in a tangy vinaigrette dressing.
