We had returned to Looney’s back in February and had a pretty good dinner. I liked my tri-tip quite a bit, Mike was enthused about his ribs, but they were good enough, and Camila was happy with her French bread pizza. We all loved being able to try all the sauces.<\/p>\n

We love BBQ.\u00a0 More to the point, we love Everett & Jones<\/a> BBQ.\u00a0 We want our ribs slowly smoked for hours and presented with a complex and exciting BBQ sauce.\u00a0 We don’t want uniformity and we want a good value.<\/p>\n

Looney’s can’t offer any of it.\u00a0 To be fair, I think new environmental regulations do not allow for the type of commercial smokers that make E&J’s BBQ as amazing as it is.\u00a0 But, well, that just means we have to drive a bit further.\u00a0 We got the spare ribs at Looney’s and were pretty disappointed.\u00a0 They were tough, uniform in texture – which suggests they had been boiled – and pretty tasteless.\u00a0 The BBQ sauce was pretty generic, somewhat vinegary but also just blah.\u00a0 For $20 for a half-rack we expected more.<\/p>\n

In addition to BBQ and BBQ sandwiches, Looney’s offers burgers (~$10), stuffed potatoes ($6 + $2-$3.50 for toppings), steaks ($18-24), jambalaya ($15), catfish ($20)\u00a0 soups and salads and pizzas.<\/p>\n
