Uncle Wally's Southern Cross BBQ & Catering

This place is long gone

by sarahpalin

I had several good meals here when Uncle Wally still ran it. Under the "Southern Cross" owners, I visited once, and food was still good.

I stopped by last Friday, and the place was empty. No notice on the door.

RIP Uncle Wally's BBQ.

• Pros: The food was great
• Cons: The restaurant is now closed

Fresher meat in a pick-up bar

by duckykd

We went to the all you can eat Friday, and we found our limit. Barely warm ribs slathered in room temperature sauce. The day before we had tried to go and were told they were shut down due to an electrical problem. It's aparent these ribs were what they were able to cook before that; barely warm and obviously not fresh, little flavor and much fat. We found out it's no longer the original Uncle Wally's, having been sold a short a time ago, and it shows. The new owners do not have the touch or the feel for making ribs "to die for." The pulled pork sandwich was also disappointing; dry, tough, not even on the bun. Thanks, but we'll make our own next time.

• Pros: Cute logo
• Cons: Everything else

Very disappointing!

by leasey

Based on the glowing reviews on Citysearch, I was really looking forward to this place. We went on a Saturday evening and must have been served all the left-over meat from the week. The brisket was dry and tough, the chopped brisket was mostly gristle, and the ribs were also dry and flavorless. The sauce wasn't very good (way too spicy) and without it, everything was very bland. Maybe at lunch time during the week, everything is fresher and more flavorful, but based on this experience, we won't be returning.
