Mike Anderson's BBQ

I had the beef brisket and ribs. The brisket was some of the best I've had in a while. The ribs weren't exactly my fare. They were a dry rub with a strong smokey taste but weren't the most tender or flavorful I've ever had. The sides were outstanding, though. I had the cheezy cornbake which is like a cornbread dressing with whole kernel corn, onions, peppers, and lots of cheese stuffed inside and the double-breaded fried okra. Both were just top notch. I'd love to find the recipe for the cheezy cornbake to make at home sometime. The website claims that all their sides are homemade daily and after tasting them, I believe it. They had the standard tomato-based, Texas-style sauce and they had a jalapeno sauce. It was basically their regular sauce spiced up a bit with pickled jalapenos floating. It was quite good - and quite spicy.

Other random thoughts... the guy behind the counter was quite nice. He noticed I wasn't familiar with the way they do things there. He asked if it was my first time and where I was from. When I told him Atlanta he immediately replied that next time I come I should bring some Brunswick stew and he and I can work out a trade. I don't think it was Mike Anderson I spoke with but the guy was extremely nice. Another nice plus that I didn't notice until I was on my way out was they also have a soft serve machine that's free for all customers. That along with the available outdoor seating area (covered with a lattice type structure around it) were both very cool.
