Great Food and Great People. Sure to be here for a LONG,LONG time. No joke. Fries are better than 5 Guy’s which was my pedestal. Best of luck to a talented group. Closer than you think. Where will the next one be??

We got takeout from there tonight– spousal unit got the St. Louis ribs 1/2 rack, I got the pulled chicken, and we got several sides (the baked beans, collards, mac & cheese, and slaw). They gave us two kinds of barbecue sauce to go with the chicken (the vinegary kind, and a more “traditional” thick & spicy kind). My only quibble was that pork permeates the baked beans & collards so that picking it out is almost impossible (I can’t eat the swine, although I wish I could)– but everything was deeeeelishus. The pulled chicken was perfect– smoky, tender, falling apart (almost didn’t need the sauce!), and hubby reported the ribs to be d@mned near perfect. Portions are pretty large (we both have enough for dinner another night). I’m thrilled to have these folks so close by– and they’re just as nice as can be, both over the phone & in person. Kudos for turning us on to them with the blurb, DM– we owe ya one!

Ate there this evening – excellent bbq. A wonderful addition to the neighborhood. The staff was amazingly friendly too. The family had the pulled pork, 1/2 chicken and a 1/2 slab of ribs, all of which were very good. The sides were hit and miss with the Mac & Cheese a winner but the bbq beans weren’t as good as everything else.

As far as the “no beer”, one of the employees (I suspect he might have been the owner) advised that he probably wouldn’t get a liquor license this year and may go “BYOB” after the New Year.

We will definitely be back, just no beans this time.

My son and I got some take out yesterday around 11am. The staff was so freaking nice that I just knew that the cue would be good too, and I was not disappointed. The potato salad & cole slaw are the best I’ve had, with the pulled pork and St. Louis ribs coming in a very close 2nd to Fox Bros. You know your pork is good when you don’t have to drown it in sauce. Our 3 other guests were all tickled by the pig.

I went this afternoon and it was excellent. The pulled pork was marvelous.

It’s in the little shopping center alongside Athen’s Pizza House.

Can someone elaborate on this “no beer” business. I’m familiar with some boozeless restaurants that are well worth the visit but beerless BBQ? That doesn’t seem physically possible.

Is this the grand plan or are they just waiting on their license?
