Last Thursday evening, my wife and I decided to try out Palomino's for their recommended ribs.

Needless to say, we were a bit disappointed.

Now, I ordered the beef ribs and I do have to say they were fall off the bone tender delicious. But, I also ordered the recommended bacon wrapped corn cob. What I got was two 2" long corn cobs that were over cooked, greasy, and tough. Very tiny corn kernals. Now I know its not corn season, but my thought on this is if you cannot get good quality food to cook, scratch it from the menu in the off season.

My wife ordered the full side of pork ribs. They were tough and chewy. Definitely not fall off the bone tender. She was very disappointed... she only ended up eating half her meal because she just didn't have the energy to try and knaw through the second half.
She was also disappointed that she didn't have a choice in the flavour of the BBQ sauce (ala Tony Romas)

After eating, what she did of her pork ribs, her statement on them was: "Tony Romas is better" .... and frankly, I think that Tony Romas sets the bar fairly low.

Oh well, on to the next place... Has anybody tried Bookers BBQ & Crab Shack?
