 I also went in there several weeks ago, and the prices seemed
 outragious - like $7.00 for a sandwich - and yes $22 for a rack of
 ribs and they didn't even look good rare or raw - they looked very
 stringy - not like a good quality of meat so I just turned around and
 walked out.

 I did howevcer eat at smokey Bones BBQ - right neat the Mall at
 Robibnson - today for lunch - a bit pricey also but really good ! had
 the Baby backs and pulled pork combo - Baked beans and slaw - all was
 good but like $15.00 for lunch isn't you average lunch - or shall I
 say every day type of thing-

 WE got there at 11:30 and we where served rether quickly - as we where
 leaving the joint was full and ther was a 20 minute wait ????

 I was there last week, and that pulled pork is awesome!  Super tender, and
 they have two different sauces on the table to add.  I liked the
 vinegar-based sauce.  The slaw missed for me - too much celery seed.

 My only real complaint is the noise level.  It was lunchtime, and the music
 was cranked.  Plus, they have speakers at the table so you can listen to the
 TV.  We were seated beside a table with two boys who chose to listen to ESPN
 and of course, it had to be LOUD to be heard over the music.  We moved.
