  Miss Jan. Ate there last night, guess Kay finally sold it because this was not even 1/10th of what it use to be. Terrible Ribs, Chicken, Cold Corn, best thing there was Cole Slaw. Potato and all the Meat was cooked way too long, tough and dry. Use to love to go there, but will never make that mistake again. Feel sorry for the girls who work there, can’t make any money no matter how good their service is when the food is that bad,,, I’d get another job…

  Nasty. The Mac and cheese was cold, I don’t know what they used in place of the beans for the baked beans, my French fries were smothered in nasty grease, my garlic bread was so soggy it was borderline falling apart from laying in grease, and there was film of old coffee in my coffee cup from it not being cleaned. I will never go back there!!!

  Kays Real Pit BBQ – Where You Feel like Family. Kay Keller must be doing something right. Since 1981, she has been in the restaurant business. Kay and her husband, Jesse, now deceased, owned and operated the original Fat Boys Restaurant, which was very popular with the astronauts before the place became Kays BBQ. Perhaps Kays BBQ is so popular because all her sauces are made from scratch. Maybe, it is because the Barbecue Beans, Coleslaw and Brunswick Stew are also made from scratch, Could it be because the restaurant grinds the hamburger meat from 100% Top Round Beef or because it grinds the breakfast sausage from fresh pork adding its own special spices? I think that all these things make Kays BBQ so successful. I also think its because people love the great value they get and appreciate the friendly service they receive when they dine here. Kays BBQ isnt just about BBQ although most of its loyal customers do come here for the smoky flavor of the slow cooked Ribs, Pulled Pork and Chicken. It is just as famous for the Buckhead Strip Steaks, Ribeye (Kays personal favorite,) Fried or Grilled Chicken and Southwestern dishes. Breakfasts are also quite popular. Kays BBQ is a very comfortable place to dine. The restaurant does not have a fancy ambiance by any means. I think that the locals who eat here come for the food not the ambiance. I ate here many years ago and only recently returned when a group of people I eat out with chose the place for our monthly get together. I live a little bit of a distance from Kays BBQ which is why I hadnt returned before this visit. It was off my radar so to speak. One recent Wednesday, about 35 of us dined together in the back room. Many of the comfortable looking booths were occupied in the main dining area already even though it was way before 12 noon. Our group members arrived at varying times. As each long table filled, the servers took our orders. So, our food arrived at different times. Since this was a social gathering, no one was in a real rush to eat. I do not think that the restaurant expected so many of us for lunch as utensils and menus were only laid out for around 25 diners. The two servers assigned to us were hard working and were busy the whole time. I think that they did a good job considering our numbers. They did their very best under difficult circumstances. We each had individual checks, also. Our server Trish was very friendly and carefully took our orders. Many of us had special requests and made substitutions. Everyone received the correct meal. She patiently answered all our questions with a smile.After perusing the charming, old fashioned-looking menu already placed with our utensils, I decided on the Southwestern Chicken Quesadilla Dinner – $7.99. It is also available as Cheese Quesadilla Dinner for $6.50. Have it as an appetizer for $6.99. My huge meal came with two sides and I had a difficult time choosing from a long list of them. I finally settled on Garlic Bread and a Baked Potato. The Garlic Bread slices were thick and delicious. The big Baked Potato was hot and cooked to perfection, foil wrapped and served with sour cream and butter. The Quesadillas filled my plate and I had to take half of them home with me including the included tangy Salsa. They were steaming hot and delicious. Right then, I decided that I had to return there soon. Others at my table ordered the Lunch Specials – Pulled Pork – $7.35, the Ribs Combo Lunch, $10.95 or the St Louis Pork Ribs – $9.99. Everyones meal came out hot and as ordered although not at the same time. The Lunch Specials come with two slices of garlic bread and a choice of two sides. There are also choices on the Senior Menu – St. Louis Ribs, $7.99, served with your choice of potato, slice of Garlic Bread, BBQ Beans and coleslaw. Alternatively, choose Beef, Pork or Pulled Pork served with the same sides listed just above. Another choice is BBQ Chicken – $7.10 or White Meat – $7.60. If nothing mentioned here sounds appealing to you, be assured there are Burgers, Wraps, Seafood, Steaks, Soups, Salads and Grilled Cheese on the menu. If you cannot make up your mind, choose a Rib combo, a Sampler or, even Create Your Own Seafood Platter. Although I rarely dine out for breakfast, Ill be back for the French Toast Platter one of these days.
