Wonderful ribs and sides
Chicken was a little dry.
Great sweet tea.
Mom and Pop locally owned bbq joint. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Cafeteria style ordering, server delivers food order to your table. Self serve foundation beverages. Also, there are bottled, small label soda pop and other beverages available. Best collared greens!
Place was very clean but didn't have half of the items that are on the menu. I had the messy pig sandwich which is pulled pork with BBQ sauce on it. Was so wet that the bun was useless and instantly saturated. And wasn't anything great. I doubt I will be back.
I pass by Burke's all the time, and I never see cars there. I always choose to go some where else, because if it's not busy, they probably don't have much to offer right? Wrong.
Burke's BBQ is one of the only remaining chains that offer a hell of selection and portion size for around or under 10$ (including drink). BBQ places seem to think they can charge gold for some 'okay' BBQ. Burke's pulled pork was as good as any of them, and beat just about anyone's price. It was very quick, staff is friendly, the place looked great and felt Clean. I will be going more and more after this experience. The tea wasn't too sweet, their sauces seem home made, and the place almost gives you a sense of nostalgia. At least, it did for me.
This isn't a place to "stop by and try", this should be the place to stop by every week. Leagues above Sonny's, and competitively priced against others.
Thanks Burke's!
Great food, great people. One problem though, I couldn't put a tip on my credit card! What? I fell also when I can't tip for great service. Ownership needs to fix this and be sure to share those tips with counter, floor and kitchen staff. Great teamwork to keep this place impeccably clean. Just need to let us reward this great effort.
