Swadley's BBQ coming to Mustang

[dalelakin]

Can't be any worse than Bad Brad's that place is terrible IMO...Only good thing there is the cups are the right size for Iced Tea at home.

That comment is spot on! .. couldn't have been said any better.

Hilarious! We haven't eaten there yet. What's so bad about it?

Really, we've given up on a good consistent place to eat in Mustang. We've eaten Mexican food at the place in the strip mall across from the fire station - can't think of the name. It is okay but not great - too much cilantro. I have to get tamales (they're pretty good actually) to try to dodge the green stuff.

Even the McDonalds here is awful. How can you mess up an Egg McMuffin?? Let me count the ways ......

The Swadley's are very nice people. Their BBQ is terrible but they are very
nice people.

I ate at Swadley's two or three times before I realized it was supposed to be
BBQ. I was surprised.

Honestly and truly, they used to have a very good Rib Eye. They took it
off the menu. I don't know why. It was really good.

I had some friends that performed there every other week. I couldn't stand
the meat they called BBQ so I would order a baked potato and salad bar.

Swadley's isn't BBQ. It's what people think is BBQ. I think folks from New
York or Vermont might mistake it for BBQ since they're completely clueless.

Where's Pulliam's when you need it? THAT was BBQ!

We eat at El Charro's every once and a while. Hiway 157 and maybe Holly.
It's okay, but it isn't great. Just so-so Tex-Mex. The service is very good.

This place occasionally has too much cilantro in their salsa. We go there
because we have friends who like it.

We'd rather eat at Los Amigos or Nino's.

Tex-Mex Rocks!

I have to agree with you there. Don't believe Pulliam's ever did that dry rub business - if I remember correctly there was a fairly plain marinade, and then that wonderful sauce dumped on after the ribs were cooked.

As far as "falling off the bone tender" - yeah, that didn't happen there, either. Their meat was firm but tasty, not tough. I think part of that falling off the bone business is greasiness, but I know other people disagree.

The thing I like best about El Charro - they have the TexMex pickled vegetables - a good thing. Then they snip fresh cilantro on them - a very BAD thing. Heh. I just have one note.

The meat has been so dry both times that it could have passed for jerky and the sauce to me is not impressive.

The ribs were 90% fat, the beans were like they poured water over a spoon of beans, the bread was thin sliced white bread out of the bag. We were totally disappointed. The plates and cups and bowls - and the forks and knife - were plastic. I just don't get it.

InterUrban has baby back rib night on Wednesday and they are to die for! Not overly covered in sauce, tender and flavorful.mmmmmm
