Bar-b-Q
 
Anyone who thinks Burke's, Sonny's or Woody's is good eating surely needs to re-evaluate. Oakwood is way out in front.

We tried Oakwood once, a couple of years ago. The portions were small and the ribs were nothing special. (in my humble opinion) Not worth waiting in line for. We are not tempted to try again.

I'm in the like Oakwood club-have big portions and flavorful ribs-didn't like Burke's,Sonny's,or Texas Stockyards-we all have our own preferences

I took my own advice and went to Woody's today....thumbs up as an alternative.

Oakwood is very good, in our opinion. Burke's was pretty good the one time we went there. It is always crowded with construction workers at lunch. That is a pretty good sign. The locals know where to go.

The best BBQ we have ever had is "12 Bones" in Asheville, NC. They only serve lunch and the line forms about 45 minutes before they open. Never disappoints!!

Dotti: I don't think the Sonny's you had in Utah was related the chain that operates in the Southeast (MS, AL, GA, LA, KY, FL, NC, SC). We used to go to a Sonny's in MD, but it was just a local joiint, not part of the chain.

The Utah chain has the same menu, same sign, logos etc. I feel certain it is the exact chain. When I saw it in LSL, I had a involuntary "eye roll". "not here, Please not here!" We just never go. Thank goodness we haven't had social events planned there.

I just looked at the chain online and it does just show the southern locations. I wonder if they are franchised and and are done individually. that might explain it!

no Sonny's west of La. or north of Kentucky. Strictly in the South (Florida born and based chain)
