Regal Eagle Smokehouse mini review

[Beer Me]

We have wanted to try this on our last few trips to Epcot and this year we finally got around to it. We split the platter with pulled pork, ribs, sausage, mac and cheese and baked beans.

The mac and cheese was surprisingly tasty and the pulled pork was good. Sausage and beans were very average.

But let’s talk about the ribs. Forget about falling off the bone. They wouldn’t come off with a chainsaw. These were the driest, toughest ribs I’ve had in my life, no exaggeration. I couldn’t make ribs this tough if I tried. It’s shameful that this represents American bbq to all of Epcots visitors. Everything else could be fantastic (it was just ok) and these ribs would negate that. Terrible. One star. Never again.

Oh man! I'm from Memphis, and no way we tolerate that 'round here! I have been by Regal Eagle, and it smells pretty good and I hear good things, but I...just can't. I mean, I live in one of the established barbecue regions - I just can't bring myself to get it when travelling. Well, unless I'm travelling to Texas or something - but then it's brisket, not ribs!
