How could you resist eating at a Restaurant thus named? Jackie has done some research on places to eat around Tucson and came up with this interesting place most famous for it's ribs. They are smoked for 14 hours and have a special sauce. The meat falls right off the bone. The smokey flavour is a common feature of southern cooking and of course is in keeping with the Cowboy theme around here. I find the smoke a bit strong but enjoyable once in a while. Many people love it. The meal came with a wonderful salad with home made dressings and cowboy beans or a baked potato. No beans for me but John liked them! They are pinto beans actually in a red sauce with onions. The decor and atmosphere here was wonderful. This was a cold day so when asked where we would like to sit we said "somewhere warm." How lovely to sit beside a fireplace!!
A long time ago Sidney Poiter won an academy award for a movie called Lilies of the Field. I guess I am too young to remember it. Snort! But parts of it were filmed at this restaurant. The name of the restaurant at that time was different however. The grounds did look interesting but because it was getting dark we did not get a good tour. It would be a great place to eat in warmer weather since the outdoor facilities were beautiful and we could see a little chapel. Weddings and events are held here.
