Watch Ya Fingas BBQ & Catfish
DeSoto
Lunch & Dinner Wed.-Sun.
We'll Be Back
$$

   Tucked back off the main drag off Hampton after crossing Belt Line sits this little BBQ & catfish eatery that used to be a drive-in of some sort turned take out.  There are a few 50-style, soda fountain stools inside, but this is mainly for take-out and delivery.  The owners are area locals and have put a lot of work and care into this clean establishment which opened just last November. 
   One of our orders was the $8.99 1 meat ribs plate w/collared greens and potato salad.  The ribs had a good flavor but had a little more fat than what we would have liked.  The sauce was very good though, and the collared greens were delicious with shredded pieces of pork throughout.  The potato salad had a good mixture of onions, pickles, etc... minced in small pieces as to make for a smooth texture.   The extra sweet peach tea was tasty but not for those who are watching their sugar levels.
   Our second order was shredded, bbq beef sandwiches and macaroni-n-cheese.  The small but satisfying sandwiches were a steal at $1 a piece and the meat was tender but definitely needed to be topped with BBQ sauce to finish off the flavor.   The mac-n-cheese had lots of cheese but could have been more fresh.
   Probably the dish we enjoyed the most was when we topped the meal off with their homemade peach cobbler.  The lattice crust was flaky and crispy and complimented the sweetened peaches perfectly!
   Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves taking in the painted artwork, laughing with the owners, and reading the fun slogans placed around the building - one of which describes the reason for their restaurant name:  Watch Ya Fingas!
