Shealy's Bar-b-que

Last weekend the family and I went to Shealy's. We were planning on going with some friends during the week but I found out I was going to be out of town so we decided to go before I left. We normally avoid going on a Friday or Saturday night because it is usually a little easier on the less busy nights. When we got there the line was out the door and to the edge of the building. Fortunately, the line actually moves quickly. A lot of poeple in line talked to the baby too.

With the baby, we have to sit down before getting any food. What...wait even longer!?!?! So we sat in our usual room with the really good waitress. She usually keeps my tea between 3/4 and full, which is an amazing task.

The buffet included everything I really like. There was the usual green beans, lima beans, and cream style corn, and my favorite item that is not always on the buffet, the macaroni and cheese. I am not a normal to mac-n-cheese but Shealy's is different. Of course I got a little que and fried chicken. I usually get a gizzard to snack on while I am finding my seat.

As usual, the vegetables were seasoned well and tasted better than home-made. I gave the peanut some lima beans to try. She ate some, but since she had already had her dinner she wasnt much for eating. She played with them though.

I feel a need to describe the barbeque since I am so into eating it. Honestly, I dont think about the barbeque at Shealy's because it is not what I go there to eat. But, to be consistent with my other posts, here it is. The barbeque has a mustard based sauce that is added before it is served. The mustard yellow disguises the meat so that it is not obvious if it has that great smoke induced red color. The mustard sauce is also strong and one cant taste any smoke flavor. From the appearance of the building too, I would assume that they do not use a real wood oven/grill. But, the mustard based sauce is sweet and tangy, and has a great taste. So, the point is liking the sauce and going for the sauce. The meat is almost meaningless. Shealy's does chop their pork so there are some undesirable pieces of meat included. Overall, it is good for a change.
