Tickle My Ribs

My next restaurant review is for Tickle My Ribs.  Contrary to popular belief, this restaurant has the best barbeque in Burlington.  Most people would say that Hursey’s is the best barbeque restaurant in the area. I believe that Hursey’s has better chicken, but overall Tickle My Ribs would receive a higher rating.  When I ask my followers about the best barbeque restaurants in Burlington, most people have not heard of Tickle My Ribs.

Tickle My Ribs offers a large menu that will satisfy almost anyone’s taste buds. The signature pork BBQ plate is offered for $7.99 and comes with two sides and hushpuppies. When it comes to price, this place is hard to beat. Almost every meal on the menu will cost less than $10.  There is also a good variety of around 15 different sides to choice from. Overall I would say that the sides are very average. The best side offered is the Brunswick Stew. On Tuesday “Stewsday” you can get buy one get one free Brunswick Stews, which I would highly recommend. Tickle My Ribs offers 4 different types of BBQ sauces representing different parts of the Carolinas. Although the sides are average, the price and food quality is excellent.

The atmosphere is everything you would expect out of a local BBQ restaurant. With a couple TV’s and memorabilia from the area, you couldn’t ask for much more.  The service at Tickle My Ribs may be the best in the Burlington Area. The staff is always very friendly and energetic. Your food will be ready between five and ten minutes and the staff will make sure you have everything you need. Overall I would give this restaurant 5 stars.

Buffalo Wild Wings

Over the past four years I’ve been to Buffalo Wild Wings in Burlington, NC many times. Throughout my numerous visits, I’ve had many great experiences coupled with some visits that were not so great. The best review I can give to others about Buffalo Wild Wings is that it depends on the type of person you are and what you are looking for.  Although this can be said about any restaurant, Buffalo Wild Wings really depends on what you are looking for. This is not a place you would want to go with your grandma (unless she is into wings, beer and sports). 

When it comes to the quality of the food, Buffalo Wild Wings is very average.  The wings are very good especially the boneless wings. They are offered in over 30 different delicious flavors and I can assure you that no flavor will let you down. The rest of the menu besides the wings is very sub par. I’ve ordered the chicken sandwich, quesadilla and different burgers, all of which were below average.  Over half of the people that I have had the pleasure to dine with did not like their meal if they didn’t order wings. If you are watching a game and want something smaller besides wings, the nachos are not bad.

The atmosphere and service is what really sets this restaurant apart from others.  The overall atmosphere is great depending on the type of person because of the numerous Tv’s everywhere you look.  If there is a sporting event on TV, it is guaranteed to be on one of their big screen TV’s.  If there is a sporting event that is not on one the TV’s, one of the staff members will gladly put it on for you.  NLF Sundays are a great day to spend in Buffalo Wild Wings because they will air every NFL game at the same time. Overall, the service has been very good with an exception of just a couple instances.

Overall the food is not reasonable priced.  A medium order of wings will cost around $15 and a domestic draft will cost close to $5. If you want to watch a big game in a great atmosphere with a bunch of other enthusiastic fans, then these prices may be worth it. Overall I will give this restaurant 3 stars. The only reason you would want to go to Buffalo Wing wings is either for wings or if you if you want to watch a game. I would not recommend this place to a family who is trying to have a quiet dinner and socialize. If you looking for a restaurant solely based on the quality of food and price range, then this is not the place for you.

Intro

I will be starting a blog that reviews the overall experience of various restaurants in the Burlington, NC area. These reviews will be related to my experiences but will come from a not bias point of view. The audience of the blog is any restaurant goer from all ages and genders. For example, I may state that I personally did not like a particularly restaurant but maybe a different type a person would. The criteria for my reviews is the quality of the food, the atmosphere, the price range, the service, and the overall dining experience. For example, a five review is a restaurant that delivers a unique dining experience. There is also an emphasis placed on originality, professional service, exceptional food, and reasonably priced food.
