Today we set forth with a particular restaurant for our lunch destination, only to find that they were closed while the owners are on vacation. Undaunted, we quickly chose another spot in the same vicinity. Our choice? Bite Me BBQ in Wichita, 132 N. St. Francis.
The restaurant was pretty busy, but we were quickly seated. There are ample tables, several that will seat groups of 6-10, plus seating available at the bar. The walls held a multitude of TVs, showing various Saturday afternoon sports ranging from baseball to auto racing to cheerleading. And of course, World Cup soccer!
The menu features fairly standard BBQ fare, available on sandwiches or dinner entrees. Sandwiches come with one side, dinners with two sides and bread. They also have a variety of appetizers, sides, and a few other entree items like chicken fried steak and beer-battered fish. Deep fried lobster is available as an appetizer or an entree.
Our server was friendly and quick, and we didn't have to wait long to order. Nor did we have to wait long for the food to arrive. Susan got the pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries. I got a 3 meat combo with pulled pork, sliced brisket, and ribs. I chose potato salad and cole slaw for my sides.
We both enjoyed our meals. All the meats were very tender. The brisket had the best stand alone flavor. The pork and ribs, while good, really needed the sauce to go with them. Two sauces are available on the table, Wimpy and Spicy. The Wimpy was a little more sweet. The Spicy wasn't too spicy, leaving just a little heat as an afterthought.
A small condiment bar is available free of charge, and includes pickles, sliced cucumbers, and a few other veggies. It also includes some other sauces such as a Carolina vinegar sauce, and a Hot Mustard sauce.
Sadly, neither of us saved room for dessert (peach cobbler was suggested by our server!) All in all, we enjoyed our visit very much! - Dan Gray, guest blogger, usual navigator, financial backer, part-time photographer.
