Editorial Review for Yam Yam's Southern Cooking Barbecue – by Otis Rubottom
In Short
The dining room has red and yellow plastic benches and a fast-food style decor. The real draw here is the inexpensive barbecue, slow-smoked and bathed in tangy, spicy-sweet sauce. The menu offers several options, from beef and pork ribs to chicken and shredded pork. For sides, the collard greens are smoky, tender and laced with pieces of pork. There's also fried okra and sweet corn muffins that accompany everything.

After just coming back from the South and having great Southern hospitality and great food we went to Yam Yam's. We stood at the counter for 10 minutes before our order was taken. Our presents was not even acknowledged and no apologies was offered. We then proceeded to wait another 25 minutes for food that was already prepared. I would have left had it not be embarrassing to my step son. When we got our food it was nothing that I could not have cooked better at home. I ordered the beef rib dinner and received 3 4-inch ribs. Where do you find cows with 4-inch ribs anyway? It was clearly overpriced and the quality was not good. My wife and I and her son all left hungry and went to Campbell's to get some real Southern food.
Pros: none
Cons: Very bad service, over priced, below arerage food.

This has got to be the most god forsaken BBq I've ever had!! No smoke present and smells like the "gas and go" grease deli!! Meat cooked hours if not days before then dipped in sauce and reheated when you order!! Gag reflex abound!!!Never eat here!!
Pros: None
Cons: everything you can imagine
