BLUES BBQ CO.

i have also eaten here twice in my two weeks in roanoke. the first time i had the brisket sandwich special. it had a great taste, however the meat was slightly cold. now i understand that they cook whatever they want for the day and keep it heated [or reheated] so its kind of expected, but do not let that sway your opinions negatively. the option of three different [regional] bbq sauces is nice. i also had a bourbon barrel stout, which unfortunately made its way off the tap, which was extremely good. 

round two, i went with the special again. just a plain old cheeseburger and fries. not too bad for $6 i suppose. the seasoned fries are good. the burger seemed a little pre-packaged for my taste. it was flame-broiled and about 6 ounces. not too bad for $6 in virginia. 

i say not too bad for $6 in virginia because in indiana, specials usually run at $4.95. here places have an $8 lunch and a couple places have $6 lunches. at least the economy here is a lot better than the midwest.

also, i could not believe how many bottles of whiskey were on the wall. could someone explain to me why a place would have so much whiskey? i feel like i am missing out on something here. maybe just the fact that whiskey is a southern liquor as bbq is a southern dish?
