Comments on: Five Points Still Doesn’t Get The Drift Of Barbecue http://eastnashvilleblog.com/2009/10/14/five-points-drifters-bbq-review/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed Music, food, arts and leisure from the East side of Music City Fri, 18 Feb 2011 18:22:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lauren http://eastnashvilleblog.com/2009/10/14/five-points-drifters-bbq-review/comment-page-1/#comment-1313 Lauren Fri, 18 Feb 2011 18:22:08 +0000 http://eastnashvilleblog.com/?p=154#comment-1313 Charrett's game of offering sub-par food while charging more than what it's worth is so irritating. Unfortunately, I think he banks on East Nashvillians having limited dining options. He does business the cheapest way he can and turns around and charges us full price, and then some. I've stopped going to all of his restaurants because I think the neighborhood deserves better quality food....and b/c when I pay for Mahi-mahi I don't expect to get Cod.

My girlfriend was kind enough to surprise me with dessert from drifters since I enjoyed the cobbler so much that one time. (countless other times they didn't have any.) What they told her was cobbler ended up being brownie batter mixed with pie filling. I guess they expected the brownie batter to rise as it cooked. It did not. Perhaps the ratio was off. Anyway...it was nasty. Worst dessert ever. I ate the ice cream and threw it away. It seems Drifters is gradually declining, food-wise, since my review many months ago. Beware of what they think is cobbler. They shouldn't even have called it that. A follow up comment to this old article.

I am glad this guy is bringing all of these businesses to East Nash so I gotta give props for that, but I do wish some of these things would be improved upon. I would def. go more often if they would make some tweaks. Drifters needs alot of work on both meats and sauces to be qualified BBQ but those hush puppies were awesome! Service was also REALLY good there. Great review.
