Luckie B's Bar-b-Que

Date: August 21, 2011
Time: Dinner/Drinks
Type: Restaurant/Bar
Where: 4351 4th Street, St. Petersburg, FL
Party: Three adults

Immediate Impression:
Well laid out space, smells fantastic when you walk through the door, very comfortable!

Service:
Our server/bartendar was AWESOME! Super-nice, really helpful, and seemed to really enjoy her job!


Menu/Food:
WARNING - the portions are HUGE, but luckily the sides are small; the three of us split a 1/2 chicken meal and Pork Three ways and we still had lunch for the next day!

The Mustard BBQ sauce is absolutely fantastic...the others are eh, okay.

Fried Green Tomatoes: these were delicious, and the appetizer order is definitely shareable. You get about 6 large slices with a side of Sirachi Cream sauce.

Baby Back Ribs - fall off the bone awesomeness! Succulent and just the right kick.

Spare Ribs - my favorite! Each rib is huge, lots of meat and smoked perfectly. Cover it with that pre-mentioned mustard sauce, yummy!

Pulled Pork - wasn't thrilled with it, slightly dry. Had a nice flavor and when turned into a little sandwich with add'l BBQ sauce, the dryness disappeared.

Mac & Cheese side - personally I liked it, but you have to like garlic. Kinda throws you at first, not what you would expect.

Mashed Potatoes - pretty standard fair, gravy was thick and the potatoes creamy

Collard Greens - not a fan, too much vinegar

Baked Beans -Sweet, very sweet, and very thick; not my type of bean, but the rest of the group loved them.

Allegren Info: For those with allergies, definitely be specific to your server or have the chef come out. Most of their stuff cooks for long periods of time, so they may not be able to make substitutions.

Price: Reasonable, since you will probably get two meals out of it! The drinks are already cheap, but before 7pm you save an additional $1

Final thought: I will definitely be back...the food is delicious and the staff awesome! Plus, if you checkin on Foursquare you get a free appetizer.
