Whenever we are in Jackson, Missouri we have to stop in at Wib's Drive-In. I think it may have more to do with nostalgia; my husband was brought up in the area. Recently in town for his 50th HS Reunion, we went to Wib's --- just as he had in high school. The sought after sandwich is an "outside," not always available if others have beaten you to it! Wib's has decent food and the dining area is nostalgic (except for the ads for deep fried Twinkies, which I must admit, we had to try. Just so-so). We'll be back, of course.

Doing a little shopping in the area today and stopped by Dexter BBQ for a bite to eat. It was about 3:30 pm and the place was empty. Should have been our first clue to seek another place to eat. Anyway, it cost us over 12 bucks for 2 small BBQs and 1 order of fries (we had water to drink). Wow thats pricy especially when the food was crap. The meat was barely room temperature and greasy. And on top of that they put way to much sauce on it and the bun was burnt and hard on top. Was extremley crappy. The fries were hot, but chewy. You get free ice cream with your meal if you want to call it that. It was self serve tasteless ice milk. Terrible stuff that I threw out. Not only was the food bad, so was the service. Meaning there really wasn't any service. You ordered when you walked in, from a very limited menu. You get your own drinks and then they bring your food and thats the last you will see them. Needless to say I will never eat at another Dexter BBQ. I can't believe they have been around for this long. I love BBQ and eat a lot of it and I'm telling you this is NOT good BBQ.
