After driving 21 miles to taste their product, I learned the business was temporarily closed for remolding. When questioned about why no mention of this was on their website, they argued that their customers are not technically savvy. If their product is being prepared by the person I talked with, I strongly recommend you do not waste your time or money. Just saying....

I love good BBQ. Who doesn't? So I decided to try some staple BBQ items from Rib Ticklers in Gig Harbor. I ordered a half rack of ribs and a pound of Brisket. I figured that if this outfit knew BBQ these two items would set the standard for the rest of what they have to offer. The ribs were as good as you could do at home in the oven with some dry rub and add sauce after they are done. The meat was cooked good and it came off the bone properly. But the ribs lacked any flavor of wood smoke at all. They were pretty much flavor less, really disappointing. The BBQ sauce was basically the same, not really tasty at all. A good bottle of BBQ sauce from your Safeway store of your liking would be much better. Really surprised about this. Then I went to the pile of Brisket to tackle. It was cooked properly and tender, but again there was no flavor of the so called hickory that they claim they smoke with. There was however the signature red smoke ring around the perimeter of the slices but again no smoke bbq flavor at all, nothing! The sauce again just gave the meat a covered up cheap taste and feeling. I tried the spicy sauce they serve, but I just don't know how any other of their sauces would be much better. The rub they put on the brisket was pretty much the only flavor that you can try to relate to it being BBQ. After seeing the operation, it was obvious that they don't really smoke the meat in a smoker at all. They use the commercial metal counter top box for cooking their meats. The real meat smoker is sitting out at the curb with a wet piece of wood next to it to make you think that what they have inside had actually been smoked on a real smoker. I have been to dozens of BBQ places from Florida, Georgia, Texas, Montana etc. and here like the Cave Man for example. Lesson be learned, if you walk into a BBQ joint and don't smell the definite give away of wood smoke, hickory, mesquite or other then the meats they serve are not wood smoked. Look for a smoker that is smoking before a BBQ joint claims to have real BBQ. Wont go back, really disappointing to say the least. Go try it for yourself though.

Growing up in Texas, and growing up eating barbaque frequently, I never would have thought some of the best, genuine American flavor would be found in a Valero gas station. The unique sauce makes it clear why it has been a winner of competition time and time again. You can taste the time and experience put into perfecting the taste. Glad Rib Tickler's set up shop! Deciding on lunch has never been so easy for me.
