Ah, Limp Lizard. My sister and her family and I often come here on warm summer nights and…read moreafterwards walk over to Big Dip for some ice cream.
Today, I took my nieces, who have returned here many times. Primarily because their mother loves this place so much; she was actually the one to get me hooked.
Now, I won't compare this to a certain well known other BBQ place (ahem Dinosaur BBQ), because even though Limp Lizard also has their own BBQ sauce and entrees, I see these two restaurants as entirely different.
Limp Lizard offers southwestern/Tex-mex/BBQ style cuisine. There are burgers, corn bread, fries, red potato salad, salads, onion rings, ribs, jambalaya, chicken, beans, etc.
My one niece who used to love the mac and cheese, but claims the recipe changed (I agreed after trying it today. It reminds me of kraft, not terrible! But she doesn't like the new one as much) had the chicken tenders and a side of mac and cheese (rather than her usual full entree). My other niece and I split the Philly cheesesteak, sweet potato fries, and mac and cheese. I have actually been craving their Philly cheesesteak. We also all ordered the bottled Saranac Shirley Temples.
There were so many chicken tenders my niece couldn't finish them on her own, and she gave some to each of us. Even though my other niece and I split a meal, it was more than enough. Although, I do think the cheesesteak could have been filled more with meat, as the bread to meat ratio was a little disproportionate.
My niece's chicken tenders were basic. I actually told my two nieces who are 14 and 16 yo, that I was so perplexed to how Chick Fil A does fried chicken so well. Limp Lizard's tenders were perfectly fine, but not ones I will remember. I would prefer Tully's.
One let down was that I believe they changed their recipe for BBQ sauce. I used to practically drink their original recipe, but something tasted off about the BBQ sauce I had today. The one I remember from past occasions was vinegary, tangy, thin, and had a reddish tone. Whereas this one was thicker and not as flavorful.
They have a wide selection of drinks and desserts. Lots of fun Saranac carbonated soft-drinks, beers--Coronas--and pies. I really love Limp Lizard and I am so happy there are multiple locations in case I'm out in Liverpool or near another location. This Limp Lizard also does delivery! Overall not disappointed, but I feel like my past occasions have proven better food.
