Scrubby's BBQ

We had a family get together last night at Scrubby's BBQ in Davie. I-595 and Pine Island. There were 15 adults and two children. Last time to see my two sisters and brother-in-law before they head back home after my niece's wedding. It was Scrubby Tuesday's Night. The special was the baby back ribs dinner for $9.99. Can't beat that. It comes with your choice of baked potato, fries or sweet potato and it also comes with baked beans and coleslaw. I got the sweet potato. But first my husband and I split a fried corn. That's corn on the cob which I believe is deep fried. I get it every time. I happen to love the sweet taste with of the corn with the slightly crunchy texture from being fried. My husband prefers the regular corn on the cobb. He says it's softer and sweeter. That's why there are more than enough choices on menus, because every one's different. We also tried the fried okra and the corn fritters. The okra was crunchy on the outside, with the soft texture and earthy flavor of the okra on the inside. It came with two dipping sauces. Ranch and honey mustard. If you like Okra, you'd love their fried okra. The corn fritters came out piping hot. So hot that I couldn't tell you what the first one tasted like. I was too busy trying not to burn my tongue. Don't say anything, I know you've all been there. It was comical. My brother and I were looking at each other trying not to laugh, we were both going through the same thing. So we let those beautiful fritters cool off a little. They had a nice soft crunch on the outside and a "slightly creamy" consistency on the inside. Sweet with whole kernels of corn in a breading that was worth the wait. They came with the same condiment that comes with the sweet potato. A creamed butter with brown sugar & cinnamon. Dip and enjoy. If you prefer them savory, you can either eat them plain or with a little salt. Either way, delicious.  We got our meals. Most everyone got the special. I mean, why not? It was an awesome deal. It came with a full rack of moist, fall off the bone baby backs. They were so good that it actually got a little quiet in our group, besides the ummmm, these are good comments.  Sweet potato? It's a sweet potato, natures gift. The baked beans are really the best baked beans I have ever had at a restaurant. They are thick and sweet. The beans were cooked properly, soft but not mushy. They didn't use to come with the dinners, you had to trade out the coleslaw for the beans. And then you got a bowl that was too much to eat. They really made a good decision of giving you both beans and coleslaw, just in smaller portions. That's good because then you get their wonderful coleslaw also. It's sweet and savory with a creamy and crunchy texture. There is only one other place that I like their coleslaw more than Scrubby's. Where is it? I'm not telling. But maybe I'll go there again and blog about it. We didn't get dessert, although my two grand kids got Scrubby's new frozen bananas. It was a whole banana on a stick, dipped in chocolate and rolled in sprinkles, then frozen. My sweet granddaughter gave me a bite. Hers was a dark chocolate. Not sure if they come in Milk chocolate, I didn't check. It was good. I happen to love dark chocolate. Oh, and drink? Wait for it!!!!!!!! You won't believe, I ordered Ice Tea. No alcohol involved, just good food, good company and good price. Till next time, Bon Appetit!
