text: Oh CJs how you have changed Back when CJs first opened it was almost like a small taste of home being from Austin The meat esp the ribs melted in your mouth the greens were the right texture and firmness and they even had the delicousness that is Blue Bonnet ice cream all served in a comfy little area with picnic tables Well I do not really live on that side of town so I kind of forgot about it until recently this past weekend when I happened to be next door to it Well I was told by the person at the front that they are under new ownership and I have to say food wise this place has changed There was a little construction going on and since it is under new ownership that is understandable but the place just seemed dead which is the complete opposite of when I first went there nnI ordered the ribs beef brisket greens and mac and cheese Let us start with the sides first The greens still delicious with a hint of bacon in them the M C not bad pretty good no real complaints the beef brisket tender but wayyyy more fatty than I last remember and a little saltier too but still not bad nnHowever the ribs I am sorry but I have to give them a solid D They were rubbery barely seasoned chewy and gristly and no amount of their delicious barbecue sauce could compensate for their overall lack of quality I could not even get the dog to eat the leftover ribs and that is saying something since he would probably eat a rock covered with barbecue sauce if his teeth were strong enough I do not know if this is due to new ownership and changed meat quality or if maybe my taste buds have changed since I was last there but this is not how ribs are supposed to be Well CJs if you go back to your old self me and the fam will come back more frequently but if this is what you are doing with your ribs I think I will just stick with Lucilles BBQ over in the District
