hi all. this is my first post here. but i have been lurking for a year now.
i just wanted to chime in that my daughter and i finally had a chance to try rocky's famous ribs...
i am NOT a rib fan by any means. but i do love a great sauce.
Marco has something special here. very special.
my daughter (whom is only 12) demolished an order of 9 (his largest) on her own !! i had three, and was quite taken aback by just how great they tasted.
it truly was everything the reputation spoke of..... and then some.
but, what i enjoyed even more.. that i dont see much mention of at all, is the spicy sauce on the buffalo style wings.
WOW
and again i say WOW
i cant remember the last time i had a sauce that tasted THAT good.
now aside from the food, which was fantastic, i was lucky enough that marco was present, so my daughter and i had a wonderful conversation with him while awaiting our meal.
such a pleasant, laid back, easy going guy. he made my daughters year when he thought she was 17 or 18 (shes actually 12) and then went on to tell her she had all the makings of a model, etc... she was floating on cloud 9 to have heard such compliments.
the atmosphere was great, the staff was extremely friendly, and honest.
my bill came to a mere 925 pesos, (which shocked me after having eaten at jose oshays only two nights prior, and receiving a bill for over 2800 pesos for my daughter and myself) i handed the girl at the counter 1500 pesos and she looked at it, and handed back the other 500, explaining that my bill was only 925, so i handed the bill back to her and explained it was a tip. she looked at me puzzled, and handed it back to me. so i again handed it all back to her, and explained it was for her, for being so pleasant and courtious.
i gatheredshe assumed maybe i didnt realize how much i was tipping. but i did. i own a pizza shop in ohio with my brother in law, and i belive in tipping well, for good service and good food. so i knew what i was doing. but in her honesty, she tried giving it back.
anyway, enough rambling. i just wanted to make my first post, while the savory aftertaste of that delectable sauce was still in my mouth !
