Elliot's Backstreet BBQ, has anyone been?

We keep driving past this place but haven't had a chance to stop. If you've been, how was it?

    My uncle owns the place so Iv'e been there a million times and i suggest it to everyone. Even if you just stop in once, it is very worth it. I would go for lunch so you can get waited on by my mom Patty!

      I go to Elliot's pretty frequently. Go for the steak special on Wednesdays. It's very informal and always crowded. The ribs are great - I happen to like their sauce.. the middleweight BBQ is just enough spicy. Big portions of food and the prices are reasonable.

      Hey Rick.....I haven't been there in a few years, but the one time I did go, I vowed I'd never go back. I ordered wings (hot), and what I got was a plate of whole wings covered in a sweet BBQ sauce. Go figure.
      Anyway - it's always crowded, so they must be doing something right. The taste of BBQ sauce is very personal - I just prefer a spicey flavor over sweet.
