I was just joking. But seriously, I have noticed that lately more and more places are skrimping on the extra stuff like plastic forks, napkins etc. Most people have that stuff at home and when they are delivering to a residence, prob they just assume you have it unless you ask for it.


I HATE when they give you tons of plastic utensils and napkins. I don't need nor want any of it. It's a total waste. Do you know how many tons of drinking straws are in our land-fills? Oh, Abby's sucks BTW.

I know ribs are messy, but this seems excessive (sorry, couldn't resist).

where is this place?

i like using delivery.com sometimes because they ask you if you want napkins/plastic utensils. i usually opt out and say no because i have tons of that stuff at thome, but i think it's a nice thing for people who actually need them.

Ordered delivery from there for the first time after eating at the place a few times many moons ago. So many things were mediocre or worse with this meal.

Order: Full rack of ribs, comes with fries and rice. Cheeseburger for roommate coming home from the airport later.

Cons:
-Why are there olives on my ribs and fries? Not mentioned in the menu, I hate olives and hell, maybe I'm allergic? Don't add foods to a dish that aren't mentioned in the menu. Who the hell orders ribs and fries and gets olives?
-Fries are very plain. Lightest of seasoning, needs more to it than whatever it is they use.
-Ribs are very unevenly cooked. Some are great, some are burnt. Would prefer a different seasoning, but plain is kind of decent with the right sauces.
-Not enough sauce. A couple tablespoons of two different bbq sauce aren't enough for a full rack of ribs and fries.
-No napkins. Hi, I'm eating ribs, can i get some napkins pls?
-Delivery charge. This is the only place in the area I'm aware of that charges for local delivery. Yea, that comes out of the delivery guys tip.

Pros:
-Decent delivery time. ~20 minutes.
-Ribs that were cooked properly were fantastic.
-Rice was excellent, best part of the meal.
