  We're on the way home and my husband and I wanted B-B-Q and this place popped up. It's a hidden gem. We entered to order and cashier was a bit rude. Probably because we were new faces. Which is understandable. We waited about 10 minutes for our food. There isn't anywhere to eat, it's more of to go. We ate a bit in the car and I just want to say that hands down best bbq I've had.

  I'll bet you're wondering how I ended up here.  Well, let me start by telling you the story.  It was a beautiful and sunny Fat Tuesday.  My son and I had left the Knights of Revelry parade downtown, and decided to head to the vicinity of Airport and 65.  That's not even close.  We got caught up in the barricades and detours, and before we knew it, we were making our way into a neighborhood we hadn't anticipated venturing into.  It was a bit scary at first, but I kept reminding myself where I came from and that I'd been in much worse neighborhoods before.  Living around Mobile has turned me into a sissy.  Before long, I even passed a house I wanted to buy.  I could rip the boards off the windows, slap on a fresh coat of paint and add some beautiful landscaping.  It would have been a little dollhouse. Of course, I'd have to gut it and redo the interior, and maybe throw up some shiplap.  At this point, you're probably starting to think that I watch too much DIY Network and HGTV, and you might be right.  I'll cut to the chase and get down to the review.
  
  We were getting hungry and we passed the place and decided to stop in.  We're from Memphis, and BBQ is our thing.  We walked in and immediately noticed no place to sit.  It's strictly to-go.  We placed our orders and waited for our food then went to a park (on the Eastern Shore) and ate.  
  
  They don't have pulled pork or chopped pork or apparently Boston butt. They have chicken and ribs.  I ordered a rib sandwich, which was 4 ribs and bread.  I ordered peach cobbler and sweet potatoes for my sides. My son ordered a half slab of ribs and no sides.  We both ordered drinks.  Our total was $37, which seemed to be on the high side.  The food itself was good, but not exceptional.  I've reached the conclusion that exceptional ribs just don't exist around here.  These appeared to a have a smoke ring, but I couldn't taste the smokey flavor because they were slathered with sauce.  Ribs are like steak, if they're properly cooked, you don't need sauce.  These probably needed sauce, but were still better than most of the ribs we've had around here. They were spare ribs.  The sides were really good, which is what earned them the third star.  
  
  I've thought about it many times since that day and I still can't figure it out... how the heck are you supposed to eat a "rib sandwich"?  And why.  Why would you want to?

  Best Barbecue I've ever had. I will not buy ribs anywhere else because I refuse to be disappointed.

  I was born in Mobile, Alabama but spent the majority of my life in Kansas City (one of the B-B-Q capitals of the world). Bottom line: I know B-B-Q. Rodgers can hold its own with the best in the business. I had Rodgers while visiting in town for the holidays and this location is a few blocks away from my grandmothers house so I have been there quite a few times. Usually the order is a rack or two of ribs, this time we also ordered the Mac and cheese. It was as fabulous as the last time had it. The sauce is great. The meat is tender. The staff is down to earth and non-intimidating. If you want a savory B-B-Q delight, then give Rodgers a try.
