Sticky Fingers

Christine and I were away and out of the East Cooper Area last weekend. We went to the Shrimp and Grits Festival in Jekyll Island. It was great. We got back into town at about 6:00 Sunday evening, hungry and not in the mood to go grocery shopping or cook. So, we decided to go to Sticky Fingers for some ribs. We don’t make ribs often at home. It is time consuming and, quite frankly, I have not been able to make them as good as Sticky Fingers.

When we go out, it is usually for seafood. So, Sticky Fingers is one of the places that we don’t go to often. But, every time we do go there, we wonder why we don’t go there more often. The food is always great, the service is excellent, and it’s a local chain that started right here in Mount Pleasant.

We shared the Rib Sampler for Two. We enjoyed four different styles of ribs: wet, dry, sweet, and hot. We liked them all; but, we liked the dry the least. The hot was pretty hot. I wouldn’t want them any hotter. If you like things mo' hotta' mo' betta', ask for them extra hot.

If you go to Sticky Fingers, you don’t want to leave without some of Sticky Fingers’ most popular dessert: a dish of peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. We always enjoy it. This time, it seemed like some of the dough wasn’t fully cooked; other than that, it was great.

We got out for just under $35 including tip and a coupon for a free dessert. You can usually get the coupons at the visitors’ center. There is one at the new Mount Pleasant Fishing Pier (also called Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park) near the Ravenel Bridge. The park is worth a visit on its own - even at fifty cents per hour to park. Some hotels have coupons too.
