We tried Mel's Famous BBQ for dinner tonight. Their sauce is very sweet and very thick, and everything is very slathered in it. The smoke flavor / aroma is almost too much.



The menu is limited, and the owner apparently made a point about pulled pork not being a regular menu option.

Dinner w/ 2 sides:
Baby back ribs $9.50
Pork steaks $8.50
Pork tips $8.50
Chicken wings $7.50

Sandwiches:
Brat $4.50
Hamburger $4.50
Hotlink $4.00

Dennis and I both had pork tip dinners. I don't eat pork steaks, so my dinner options are more limited. Some of my tips were too dry. There was an abundance of sauce over it, but that won't ever put the moisture back in the meat. Dennis didn't think his tips were dry. Chris devoured his ribs, but only after he scraped off most of the sauce with a fork.



Consensus here is that we won't drive past Lil' Mickey's to get to Mel's.
