re: Is the original tj ribs on its last legs

We went when I visited for the first time in spring 2010. There's no appeal to the restaurant unless you're a mega LSU fan.

The burger is the only thing I get from there and that's pretty good, but any restaurant should be able to know how to make a hamburger. The sides are average. I don't understand the purpose of the Mojos. They aren't even seasoned.

The menu itself has only gone up in prices without anything new since I first tried it. I have never heard of anyone getting that giant competition tray, which used to be $80-$90 and is now $120 for the same bland food. I only assume that the menu has never changed because the clientele has not changed: same people who thought it was amazing 20 years ago who only eat at the same few restaurants if they do dine out.
