As we were walking back to our cars after a very enjoyable tailgaiting experience we passed a BBQ rib stand.  Not recalling seeing this place in previous tailgait adventures we figured we had to give them a try (not to mention the smell was divine)! 

We knew we had dinner plans later, so we only wanted a quick bite.  Because of this we just shared a rib sampler which came with 3 large, meaty ribs dripping in a sweet (but not too sweet) and spicy sauce.  These were served on top of a piece of white bread toast that we used to help mop up that sauce.  The ribs were fall off the bone tender and they just hit the spot perfectly.

The ladies running the show were super friendly and we can't wait to visit them again at their restaurant on the corner of High and Henderson (lower level of the 5/3rd building)! 

We'll try to hit it on a Wednesday for an early dinner (they're only open to 5) when buttermilk fried chicken is the special!  Other options include soups and salads, typical deli sandwiches such as reubens and grilled cheese, and down home treats such as sweet potato pie and peach cobbler.  Breakfast also sounds good (opens at 9) with breakfast quesadillas and biscuits and gravy.

Price:  3 ribs for $4
Overall Rating for the Tailgate: 3 buckeyes
