Adams Rib

On vacation from Wisconsin. Wanted to stop at an Original Fried Pie Shop and this one was en route.
Visited on Sunday, February 28^th, 2016. Had a very mixed experience.
Fried Pies here were a disappointment. It seems they just have the fried pies to lure people in to their restaurant, as they obviously really don’t care about them. They selection was very limited and poorly labeled. They were pre-​made and cold. Not to mention that the counter girl forgot to put it on the tray with the rest of our food.
I found counter girl to be not friendly. We’re obviously not from the area and were having a hard time ordering, she just seemed annoyed. When I asked for a pecan fried pie she simply shook her head and said «no.» Most places we visited in Texas seemed to love helping us, not this lady.
Mac and cheese was incredibly bland.
Fried pie delicious but cold. I would have loved to try a savory style, or pecan, coconut, or chocolate. But alas, they only had apple, blackberry and pineapple.
Cole Slaw was killer.
Brisket was really good. Nice char flavor.
Hot link was spectacular.
We’re heading to the Hillsboro Original Fried Pie Shop location today in hopes of a better experience, and a brisket pie.

We were hoping to get some great BBQ sandwiches, but was very disappointed. The beef was very tough, had to cut it with a knife to eat. Each slice of beef had a thick portion of fat on them. It’s not good if you have to carve of all the fat from your BBQ before you try your sandwich. Will not go there again. Not a good place to go!

Love this place. Yes barbq is expensive but its expensive every where so with that being said. The sloppy Joe pie is sooooooooo good!!! Their fried pies are suppose to be amazing but they are never hot when I’ve got one but it doesn’t mater the barba is what I’m there for.

Great joint, no frills and delicious food. Ribs were awesome, pulled pork was fantastic. Tried 4 of the sides, and they’re all winners. Only drawback was the brisket, it was really good, but not the best I’ve had in Texas. This place is fantastic and I can’t wait to go back!

Solid Sunday BBQ in the way to Dallas. Sides aren’t the strongest, but chopped beef, pork, and ribs are delicious. Top it off with a vanilla fried pie if you’re not too full.

First time here… and was really hoping to be delighted with some BBQ… TEXAS Style! No frills BBQ joint. I ordered a BBQ Brisket and Links plate with a what I thought would be a warm fried peach pie. Well, I guess I was expecting the peach pie to have warm filling with a crispy crust, instead it was refrigerated and soft… Ugh! Not what I was expecting and totally disappointed. As far as the BBQ Brisket and Links? The links were relatively plain, no spice, no kick at all and felt like they just came out of the supermarket meat section, sliced up and put on my plate! The BBQ Brisket on the other hand was excellent… smokey and very flavorful. Instead of a tomato based BBQ sauce, Adam’s Rib serves up a thinner vinegar based sauce which was very very good! My brother had a BBQ pulled pork sandwich which was very good. Full of smoke flavor, nicely chopped up, drizzled in their sauce and placed on a one of the best buns every tasted. Maybe I just had a miss day on what I ordered, but overall, Adams Rib serves up decent BBQ. Not that it is bad, but I’ve had a better here in the great state of Texas!

Hard for me to really judge this place for a few reasons:
–have only had BBQ from one other place in town
–am not used to beef BBQ, I am from pork BBQ country
–just had take out, so can’t judge restaurant itself
That said, was fed this for lunch the other day, and I thought the brisket kicked ass. So tender stabbing it with a crappy plastic fork caused it to fall apart. The hot links, potato salad, and beans were ok, nothing I’d go out of my way for.
The peach cobbler was very different from what I am used to, but I thought it was great too.
