I didn't get his name but he is blonde haired and had a blonde mustache and, he was wearing a hat, hopefully that helps him get the recognition I'm hoping he gets because he was exemplary.

From the outside, the restaurant looks run down but I was optimistic because most local food restaurants look like such. The outside was to be expected. We got a regular pork salad and pork nachos to go. This was all okay BBQ. I was a little disappointed because this restaurant was ranked on places to go on Yelp. The salad was store bought shredded iceberg lettuce, over pulled pork, shredded cheddar cheese and canned relish. There was nothing special. The pork was okay and the BBQ sweet sauce was probably the best thing about the meal. My boyfriend got the nachos and was equally disappointed because the nacho chips were those store bought football game nachos and cheese. The nachos came with pork and jalapeños. I had to ask for my receipt, service was slow, restaurant was not clean and I'm glad I got my food to go. Pro: The prices are great!

I am proud to bestow my 800th Yelp review on this new BBQ joint in my hometown of Ashford, AL. This…read moreis what we were needing in Ashford. The BBQ at ResQue is phenomenal! I had to try it all! I went with the CPR plate that is their 3 meat plate with pulled pork, ribs, and chicken. They were out of chicken so it worked that I wanted brisket instead. Out of the 3, the pulled pork was the best. It was unbelievably soft and tender with a succulent smoky taste. There is some kind of special seasoning they use on their meats and it really shined through on the pork and brisket. In fact, the seasoning really made the brisket. The ribs were ok. I feel like I didn't get their best effort at the ribs as they ribs were tougher than I like. But I had a friend tell me that his fell off the bone. For my sides, I went with smoky mac and cheese, tater salad, and fried okra. All were fantastic! The tater salad was the more unique of the 3 as it was tangy and spicy. It was also made with the special seasoning they use. There are several sauces as I had the original, tangy, sweet, and slop. There is a spicy sauce but I could not try it because the owner makes it. He was not there on the day I dined in. The slop sauce is a sweet vinegar sauce that goes well with pulled pork. I loved all the sauces. The tangy was definitely a ketchup base with probably some mustard mixed in. It reminded me a lot of Sonny's original or Larry's mild. I felt like the original was very close to the tangy but had a more mild taste. The sweet seems to be made with honey or molasses. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! I only get to visit Ashford about 3 or 4 times a year now but I will be back to ResQue every single time!

We got here just as they opened on Saturday and a few larger parties had just come in. We started…read morewith mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and I had a diet Dr Pepper. Was super excited to see they have that good crushed ice! The mozzarella sticks were hot and fresh and they served them to us with their homemade ranch. My sister and I both got the breadsticks. Mom had a loaded baked potato and my fiance had the pulled pork sandwich lunch special. The good: mom's baked potato with all 3 meats was super good. The chicken was smoky and super tender and moist. Next time we would all probably choose just the chicken. It's a huge portion so have a big appetite if you order this. There's also a large variety of barbecue sauces on the table. We loved the mustard based one. Amanda's sauce is also smoky and a little sweet but super tasty. We didn't try the others. The okay, but I wouldn't say bad: the loaded breadsticks are good but they aren't as good as Mama Rosa's and it all comes down to the crust. Mama Rosa's are softer and cheesier. A little more buttery too. The ones at SJ's were good, but not great and the cheese seemed like it was probably pre shredded and bagged so it didn't melt down too good. No brown/caramelized areas of cheese on top, ya know? The bread was bland and sort of hard. It took a fair bit of sauce and ranch to make it have much of a taste at all because the bread really overpowered the taste of the meat and cheese. The quality of the meat on our breadsticks vs what was on mom's potato was night and day and they were almost the same meats. My fiancé's sandwich was okay but he said it wasn't anything special. We had been here quite a bit in the past for family parties, and I definitely recommend them for those. They have party rooms and great service for those parties. Food quality just seemed a bit less than what I'd had from here before.
