Guy & Mae's Tavern

note: this joint is in Williamsburg KS

A good friend hosted an SUV full of hungry guys down to G&M’s joint for “the best ribs in Kansas”.  Uh… no.  the ribs were good - just that, and nothing more.  Appallingly, the cook doesn’t remove the silverskin / fascia from the back side of the ribs.  That’s kind of Rib Cookin’ 101.  The slabs were well-smoked and quite tender (aside from the fascia).  A slab costs $18 with few side options and sodas are sold by the 12 oz can.  There are a dozen better options right in KC without having to spend the time and the money to get an hour out of town for bush-league ribs.  Try Roscoe’s on Tuesday night when world-class ribs are $13.50.

My professional assessment (based on my scoring standards):
Ribs... Taste: 8 Tenderness: 7 Appearance: 7 = Overall: 7.4

I give G&M for their success in creating a destination BBQ joint, not for their BBQ per se.
