Nothing better than an Oakwood Rack of Ribs and a Baked Potato. Oh I forgot. They dropped their Baked Potato because they couldn't keep up with the demand.

I cannot imagine what you are all talking about. We just got back from Oakwood and I found almost no difference between it and Sonny's except that Oakwood has a more limited menu.

I don't order a baked potato but I can't imagine how anyone could make a baked potato any better. It's just a potato that's baked. And I doubt that any restaurant is going to discontinue an item because of the demand. If there is that much demand they'll usually raise the price. If anything, items get discontinued because of lack of demand. Where did you get the information that they discontinued their baked potato because they couldn't keep up with the demand? That makes no sense to me whatsoever.

I didn't like the fact that they only have baby back ribs. I like the bigger ribs. I also like corn bread which Oakwood doesn't offer. Their garlic toast was almost mediocre.

It'll be Sonny's for me from now on.
