Just got back from lunch at Green Mesquite. It was my second visit (read the review of Man Up’s trip to Green Mesquite), and I just wanted to post some pics and offer a few reactions:
1. I had the two-meat plate (ribs and chicken), only b/c it’s a better deal than ordering just the two meats. The chicken was not dry at all, which is notable, since it was a quarter-white section. The ribs weren’t bad. I like the sauce.
2. When I got the bill, I found out that the two-meat special is the daily special for Tuesday, not Thursday.
3. Whatever you do, don’t order the green beans. They’re terrible. I knew this, after having them during my first visit to GM, but I thought I’d give them another try. Bad decision. I can’t explain what they taste like, but it’s not near what I’ve come to recognize as green beans.
4. I love watching people’s reactions when I take pictures of my food.
5. GM has a nice, neighborhood feel to it. They were doing quite the lunch business today.
6. I didn’t know they have a second location at the Y in Oak Hill.
7. I got creeped out when I looked up from my counter barstool and saw a picture on the wall of someone holding a snake, but then I calmed down when a few pictures to the right was of a guy with a cigar in his hand.
8. The service is excellent. Everyone is attentive and friendly.
9. The iced tea is good, they have lemons, and the crushed ice is awesome.
10. I now smell like BBQ, which goes firmly in the plus column.
