The Interpreter Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 He remains a trademark, but is little used. New management emphasizes the local park and its attractions. This year at Six Flags Over Georgia, that's largely iLuminate (hmmm...Luminosity, Shamu, Shouka, the past repeats with a different twist). Then, next year (wait, I hear Cedar Fair reads this board...I guess you'll just have to wait for the announcement. DRAT! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Agree on the hot dogs at the Varsity. I consider myself a bit of a hot dog connoisseur, and heard they were amazing there; but sadly they were pretty average. The onion rings were very very good though. We didn't even go when it was crazy busy, which is what I hear that they're mainly known for: speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Does anyone else here LOVE City Barbeque? I can't stop getting it...the ribs with the mac and cheese... One of my favorite places. Wife and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner there. Best BBQ I've ever had. I used to love City BBQ...But, I tried a new place near 275 and Dixie HWY in Springdale called SMOQ. After I ate there I wanted to drive over City BBQ and throw rocks at them for lying about having the best BBQ in Cincy! I grew up in Memphis, worked and ate much BBQ in KC, Texas, and North Carolina, so I consider myself a bit of a BBQ common sewer Trust me, this place is amazing.

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 ^ I will need to check it out. I don't eat a lot of BBQ, so I'm up for anything new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gad198 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The SmoQ recommendation is justified IF you get the right items. We tried all the meats (minus the smoked sausage) and their pulled pork is their only standout item (but it is outstanding and perhaps the best in the city). The ribs, despite being advertised as some of the best in the city, really lacked significant flavor and was missing a nice bark from a rub that would have really helped with the flavor and eye appeal. Ditto for the brisket. The sides ranged from really good (sweet potato brulee & cornbread) to mediocre at best (baked beans). The sauces aren't bad but lean a little too middle-of-the-road for my taste. I don't believe that any of their sauces really perked up any of their meats the way a good sauce should. All in all I think that SmoQ is worth a try but I would be hesitant to eat there a bunch because of their higher prices. Try and look for Groupons/Living Socials for them as they become available to save a few bucks. I'd grade it a B+ overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yeah, I checked the menu and the prices do seem pretty steep on a lot of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I talked to the owner for awhile once. He told me he spent a great deal of time and got most of his influence for his recipes in Memphis and around Mississippi.(Photos on the wall serve as his tribute) So he's familiar with true cheap BBQ joints, so I was surprised at the prices as well. I agree that the pulled pork is the best of the meats. Try the turnip greens if your a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Kentucky Fried Chicken Cleanliness-9 ... The soda machine had water at the bottom, an sd the tables were dirty. Dirty tables and cleanliness still gets 9/10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan1980 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'm more surprised at how often you eat out - maybe we need to start a recipe thread to encourage healthy eating at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terp, 10 minutes from the original Chick-Fil-A right now (which would be 45 minutes or more this afternoon....Atlanta traffic!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
