| - In the shadow of The Waterfront, the nooks and crannies of Homestead contain some hidden gems: Blue Dust is one of them. I loved the beer selection and the atmosphere - so why not more stars? The execution of my sandwich, ordered off the specials list, left a little to be desired. Smoked chicken and white barbeque sauce? Yes, please. But rye bread as the carrier meant that the lovely smoke and sauce was overwhelmed with all rye, all the time, and there were no other accompaniments (lettuce, tomato) to mediate. Ordering off the specials menu anywhere can be a gamble, because they're often dishes in the process of being refined, rather than tried-and-true stalwarts. My husband's brisket, a menu standard, was delicious.
I'll definitely go back, because I want to eat at a place that's both comfortable and inventive - even if it's not perfect.
