Well back from the trip. Lots and Lots of good seafood and some well, bad BBQ. Tried out the hickory house in robertsdale on our way home tonight. Good portion sizes. The wife and I both had pork sandwiches and I had a rib added to my order to try them out. Watched the lady pull a boston butt out of a steam tray, tear off a chunch and chop it. Had a good smoke ring and looked moist. That is about the only good things I can say. No bark in the pulled pork and it was almost soggy from being in the steam tray too long. The rib was horrible, very salty almost ham like. No bark or smoke flavor whatsoever. The BBQ sauce came either 'original' 'smokey' or 'hot' It was three different flavors of BullsEye brand BBQ that you can buy in the grocery store, not real good. At least they served the sacue on the side. Basically stay away from this place. Now my wife is ragging me to move down to the foley/loxely area so we can open up a joint. There is hardly a BBQ place for miles around there. If this place can stay open any of us from this site could make a killing down there! Tons of great seafood though. Always glad to try a new 'que place out, and really hate to give a bad report, but that place was just not good at all.
