I Just Don't Get It!

I tried Cousin's BBQ at Heritage shortly after they moved in and wasn't at all impressed.  The Ribs were tough and hard to get off the bone and the rest of the meat was dry and bland.  The sides were, for the most part, forgettable.

I continued to see good reviews, and hate to publicly dislike a restaurant after only one visit, so back I went recently for a second go-around.

I'll admit, it was better - but nothing to rave about.  The ribs were pretty good this time and I liked the Broccoli Salad and Broccoli Rice, but the rest was just ok, and I question the motives of those that post otherwise. It's a nice place and the food is fine, but I can't, in good conscience, say that the food is anything special.  What's the point of reading a blog where the author gives everyone a good review?

I wish them well and I'm sure Cousin's won't lose any sleep over my not liking their food, but I just don't get it.
