    Wings
    John K E.

    Parking is on-street, and metered (12 minutes for 25 cents). $26.19 purchased 6 wings with Thai chili sauce, 1/2 rack of ribs, and sides of corn bread and baked beans with links. "Fall off the bone" appears to be the goal here. The well smoked wings, which were not subsequently deep or air fried, barely stuck to the bone, and it proved impossible to pick up the ribs, which came wet, without the bone falling out. Both meats needed sauce to create a flavor profile. The wings were tender without being mushy, but the rib meat unfortunately crossed this particular line. The cornbread and baked beans were both good bites. So, we would order the wings here, and there are quite a few other sauces to sample. But we would pass on the ribs.

    Owner seems very friendly. He gave some good suggestions for my indecisive husband. I settled on brisket nachos. My husband got the Spicy Mac n cheese. Food was decent. Hit the spot. Servings big enough to bring home for the next day. Dining area had 3 tables, so not too much privacy. But , we were the only ones eating there.

    Pulled pork

    Rolled through Lincoln on an early Saturday afternoon and wanted to try some BBQ. Southwest Pit is pretty small with only 3 tables and they aren't licensed to serve tap water, so bottled drinks only. My wife and I ordered large. She did a small rib with mashed potatoes and gravy, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with beans and slaw, and we split 6 bbq wings and then shared everything. My feelings are very mixed. I am not a believer that any meat should be soaked with sauce, only as a glaze while cooking or for dipping on the side. But this was a damn fine sauce, it is very complex and thick and brought back memories of a dark Mexican mole', not a cheap bbq sauce. I give them a win for creating such a unique flavor concoction that I didn't mind it covering the ribs and wings this time. Another stand out was the beans. There was tons of sliced hot sausages in it and it could have made a fulfilling meal in itself - 5 stars. The mashed potatoes had a wonderful thick hearty gravy that made them a must order also. The misses included my pulled pork sandwich. A very large portion but blended with so much sauce, it made eating as a sandwich impossible and reminded me of the tubs of pre-package bbq meat at the store. Nice owners and a unique product but lighten up on the sauce a little. I would go back and order differently with my new knowledge.

    "Brisket" on the left, "Pulled pork" on the right

    I never thought there would be a time when I could be offended by BBQ, but today was that day. I really have no words. Ordered brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was dry chips of what I suspect was some cut of beef, but it was so lean it could've been kangaroo. Thank goodness the pulled pork comes with a jar of bbq sauce on it so I didn't have to risk tasting the meat. In spite of the $16 price tag for this meal, I left much on the classy styrofoamware. Plastic spoons and forks are kept in small buckets on the tables, which I thought was weird. No telling how many sneezes or fingers have graced them.

    Full rack of ribs to go!

    The place is tiny and quaint but we were mostly just waiting for take out. The meat was amazing! The ribs were so meaty, I had to use a fork and the pulled pork was juicy & delicious. Next time I am trying the wings!

    Went to Shug's for a Saturday evening dinner. Some pretty big misunderstandings in the ordering…read moreprocess, perhaps partly my fault for making assumptions and not asking enough questions. I thought I was going to dine in, but a half hour later my food came out all boxed up for takeout. I thought I had ordered crawfish etouffee as the main dish, but instead I got catfish with a side of etouffee. I live nowhere near Shug's and would not have ordered takeout had I known. So I was a bit miffed as I drove home hungry. But once I got home and could eat, it was really good!!

    Looking for Fried Chicken before heading home I came across Shug's…read more I got the two piece with two sides and my wife got the same with different sides. I ordered the yams. They were perfect, soft with the brown sugar flavor smackingbthe taste buds. The Red Beans and Rice is Fire. It brings a little heat. I didn't find any andouille sausage in mine, but the flavor and the rice was perfect. Solid Red Beans and Rice. The Chicken Breast and Leg. The breading was so perfect. One of the best fried chicken I have had, crispy and juicy inside. The chicken was amazing. I would definitely return. Loved the old R&B while waiting. I would return, but I don't know if I would get the same or something different because everything was perfect and delicious. Satisfying Southern Comfort Food that sends your taste buds to flavor town.

    I ordered the catfish fillet dinner with baked beans and fries. The catfish was fried to perfection…read more-- crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The baked beans were solid, and the fries were fries (you know how that goes). Everything is made to order so it takes a little time, but it's worth the wait. The place was very clean, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. They also have karaoke, and you can play your own music, so the vibe is laid-back and fun. My mom ordered the pork chops and OMG... those were the star of the night. Next time, I'm getting the pork chops for sure. Definitely a spot I'll go back to.

    Fantastic flavors here! When I was served my grilled catfish sandwich, I was surprised that it…read moredidn't have anything on it - just the fish on the bun, not even any garnishes. I took a bite and I tell you this was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. Seasoned and cooked flawlessly. No need for any lettuce leaf or sauce. I also loved the fried okra; my husband's fried pickles might have been the best I have had, and his yams were out of this world. I couldn't even manage to sneak any of his fried catfish though I think he would have shared if I asked. For the record, I didn't offer him any of my grilled catfish. Staff were friendly and professional. Good music on the video jukebox. Everything clean and comfortable. This was our first time in; we will definitely be back soon!
