Stopped in here while checking out a few places around the 16th and Glendale/Bethany area.
This was about 2pm on a Sat afternoon. There was one person in there camped out reading a news paper and the rest of the joint was empty. This place has plenty of seating to support a lunch/dinner rush although I have a feeling its unlikely that it happens often.
The place did smell amazing. They had this enclosed smoker out in the middle of the ordering area. It was kind of cool to see the meat there smoking away.
Sadly I was unable to eat anything but luckily I had my roommate along. He has learned that when I say I'm going on a food exploration adventure that its a really BAD idea to skip it.
He ordered the rib snack which was three pork ribs and a piece of bread for $5-7. This seemed a bit outrageous to me price wise.
The ribs came out in a paper lined fry type cardboard box. It was in a small pool of sauce.
I stole a few bites so I could write this. The meat was a very different texture. Best I can guess would be what another yelper wrote about it cooking quicker on a hotter fire. It was much less tender and had more of a spongy texture. I would venture to guess that these ribs has seen a freezer somewhere along the way from butcher to smoker.
The sauce.. blah.. I would describe it as tomato puree with minimal seasoning. Low sodium tomato soup! that's the closest comparison I can think of.
