| - My dining companion slowly swallowed her last bite of ribs, took a breath, and proclaimed, "That was totally worth the hype." Yep. It's that kind of place.
Our table managed to sample most of the meats offered: merguez (yum), beef ribs (yum), pork ribs with dry rub and slow heat (yum, so I heard), chicken (yum), and the brisket (super yum). The sides of fries, asparagus, and cuban corn were also big hits, along with cocktails like a smokey bourbon sour and the "Barque and Stormy". Also delicious was the Barque platter: a small plate crammed with warm pita, fried crackers, falafel-like split pea fritters, guacamole, and some mystery creamy sweet sauce. Our table demolished it in about 30 seconds but they were a great 30 seconds.
To keep this review from getting too monotonous, I'll note that the ceaser salad was a little under-dressed. OK, that's it for criticism of this otherwise incredibly enjoyable meal.
