Steer Clear of the Beaver

We all decided we're not a fan of the Beaver -the b-b-q joint with a twist in Houston that our friend Kevin and Brian recommended to us. Our first starter, sweet potato fries, was swimming in grease. The second, corn "hush puppies," were probably my favorite part of the meal as they were small balls of fried corn meal (and pretty much anything with a crunchy coating and fried can be delicious). My main meal (which was more appropriate for a Sunday afternoon lunch than a Saturday evening dinner), a sloppy beef sandwich, looked (and tasted) more like Rosanne Barr's minced meat sandwich than a traditional b-b-q delight. Sadly, it was bland. One additional shining star was the baked beans side dish. Then again, how difficult is it to muck-up baked beans? So on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the best, PTT awards Beaver's two pink campers.
