I thought the greens were damn good, this was about 2 months ago, maybe less? The mac n cheese is whatever. The fried pickle spears were also pretty darn tasty. Never had any other sides.
I tried Max City yesterday. Ordered up a half rack of St Louis and a whole chicken. The ribs and chicken were decent, not very much smoke flavor. The ribs were slightly sweet, sort of reminiscent of Bludsos Compton, slightly undercooked and not very meat. I could probably kill a whole rack, whereas the ribs from Slab are very meaty. I think Slab had more smoke flavor on the ribs than Max City. The chicken was better at Max City because it was not rubbery, just wish there was more smoke flavor.
My issue with Max City is that I ordered a whole chicken and got a half chicken and one more thigh. I took this picture right after opening the box with was taped closed. Almost certain I was charged for a whole chicken but I’ll double check.
I think out of all of the BBQ places, Maple Block still serves the best ribs in the city, despite the dip in quality. One place that doesn’t get recognition is Bigg Dane and Beales Texas BBQ because it is out in Fontana.
Very nice today. Ribs could be a tad softer, brisket a tad juicier but very good. They’re very busy with orders which could be why it’s less than perfect but I’m happy for them
