So, we decided to give C & G's Smoking BBQ a try. It is just off 35W on Nicollet Avenue, so it is pretty easy to get to. They also have a few tables so you can eat in if you can't wait until you get home to eat your ribs. Otherwise it is mainly carry out service.
John ordered the half slab of ribs with fries and coleslaw. The fries were really good and definitely hand cut, fresh made fries. The ribs were ok, the meat was a little bit chewy and tough. The BBQ sauce was really good though, it was a little bit sweeter sauce with quite a bit of brown sugar flavor, which we both liked a lot.
I ordered a combo meal with three ribs and three wings and sides of macaroni and cheese and baked beans. The wings were really good with a light breading and a great hot sauce, that was spicy and rich. I also thought the ribs were a bit tough, but they did have a nice smoky flavor. The baked beans were very good as well; they also had a delicious brown sugar flavor much like the BBQ sauce. I was not very crazy about the macaroni and cheese. The macaroni seemed a bit overcooked and too soft and it did not have a good cheese flavor, very bland.
When we ordered I noticed they also have a variety of sauce flavors. I was deciding which to choose and the cashier (who is also one of the owners I think) mentioned many of the sauces were brand new sauces they recently developed.
Overall, we enjoyed C & G's. I'd definitely go back for the chicken wings.
Deals & Discounts: Apparently they had a Groupon or Living Social deal recently, because other people were using them, but we missed that deal somehow. Plus, I think it was for a couple sandwiches and sides, so I probably would not have bought it anyway. I recommend watching for other deals in the future.
