I cut over to Lil' Biscuit House:

 

... to drop some dough on a two meat combo ($15.00):

 

... which came with one of their namesake nubs of baked bread. This carb-o was on the dry side and required buttery buttressing.

Their beer promotion:

 

... had the reverse of its intended effect on me as I made my beverage selection.

The baked beans were perfectly good while the mac and cheese didn't manage to elbow its way through to any bold bud-citement.

Although the chicken was fried to a moist-centered crispy-edged doneness and the baby back ribs weren't tough, the focus wasn't on seasoning. I'm wondering if the under-seasoning is an intentional act to compensate for their heavy helpings (by making a low sodium health claim) or perhaps it is to accommodate a clientele that demands milder chow.
