Boro Reviews: Vandy's Barbeque at The Small
Vandy's Barbeque has been a staple in Statesboro since 1929, today Boro Reviews takes a look. From the very top of the menu jumps out "Vandy's Famous Barbeque Sandwich". Served with a side of fries (substituted for potato salad) this item sings out it's role as the a home, white bread, slow cooked, smoke filled pile of meat between two soft buns.
The potato salad arrives looking like a bowl of mashed potatoes. It's dry and the potatoes are even a little mashed, but one taste of proves that this is the Prius of potato. A new wave hybrid of potato salad and mashed potatoes. Dry like it's mashed, but inside filled with mayonnaise, hard boiled egg, and paprika.
Moving on to the famous barbeque sandwich, it comes out not between two slices of Sunbeam white bread but on a sandwich roll. With a heap of pulled pork in the middle this sandwich is soft and collapses under the weight of the meat quickly. The pork is smokey and well textured, but most of it's flavor comes from the barbeque sauce. This mustard based barbeque sauce starts off smooth with a heavy taste of mustard and a little chile powder. It ends with a quick bite to your mouth as the spice kicks in.
From Vandy's the best item was easily the barbeque sauce, the jars up front would definitely be worth buying.
Overall: Try it.
