text: When Stacy Phipps opened the doors to his Indian School establishment in I was his fan Stacy catered my holiday functions family gatherings and weeknight dinners for the next four years I was heartbroken to see him leave the neighborhood I sat back and watched sadly as the quality of food suffered under new management and as the smokehouse finally shut it is doors last yearnnWhen I found out Stacy was back I was ecstatic But there are some clear differences and as much as I want to scream a five star review from the rooftops I do not think I can just yet As with most jilted Arcadian food lovers he is going to have to work to earn my trust back So today we begin with stars and hopefully we can work our way upnnOn the pro side the interior has improved the amazingly friendly service has not changed the spicy BBQ sauce still has that HIP TANG and they now accept plastic for payment The brisket was decent I am a moist brisket lover myself so I was thrilled with the moist pieces but turned off by the lean Still the flavor of the rub and the rendering of the fat was amaze nnOn the negative side they microwaved my pork ribs Like seriously I heard a ding and saw them pull a plastic shopping bag covered dish out of the microwave The meat was still falling off the bone and tender but the whole Chef Mike thing did not sit well with me mentally Also I wanted fried pickles Fried pickles are on the menu They do not serve fried pickles Uh WHAT nnNow to be fair I just returned from a five day meat fiesta in Kansas City so I am a little more judgey than usual about my smoked meats However I have become accustomed to hot meat off the smoker and because I can still get that round the clock at Rudys in Chandler I was much disappoint today at Stacys I get that reasonably Stacys is a small operation and just cannot be expected to smoke meat all day and then let it sit around gathering bacteria during the slow hours but seriously invent some new way to microwave your meat or do it out of customer view
