Review: Stumpy's House of BBQ

Occasionally, I'll do an Internet search for BBQ to find a new joint to try. Well I did that today and found Stumpy's House of BBQ was only a few miles away from where I was working. So off I went to try it on my lunch hour.

What I found was a place that was a cross between a sports bar and a BBQ joint. Red checkered table clothes and corrugated tin made it feel like a BBQ joint. But big screen tv's and sports memorabilia made it feel like a sports bar. You know something? I didn't mind the combination at all.

I ordered up the lunch combo platter and a big glass of sweet tea. The platter came with your choice of 3 meats, 2 sides, & garlic bread. I chose pulled pork, brisket, and ribs to go with Stumpy's beans and green beans.

I really enjoyed the ribs. There was only a simple dry rub and no sauce on them, and that's the way I like them. The pulled pork was only average. The brisket however was tough and tasted like roast beef. The sides were passable, but not outstanding.

Overall, I enjoyed my meal. The BBQ was average, but I liked the joint. In fact, I like to support local joints like this one who are making a real effort to make a go in a tough business.

Here's how I'd rate my experience at Stumpy's.

BBQ - C+
Sides - C
Atmosphere - A
Value- A
Overall - B

Cheers,

I live in the area, and STUMPYS, IMHO, much better than Bandanas.
Ribs excellent
