| - Finally, awesome southern style bbq in Madison! I stopped by today after smelling the delicious hardwood as I drove past the Shell station on Broadway. It's all about the food here - big smoker out front, a pick up bed full of hard wood to fuel it, and a food cart to serve it up. I got a half rack of ribs and an order of rib tips, both of which came with two sides. The ribs came straight off the smoker, modestly sauced and packed up to go.
The cook on the ribs was prefect - beautiful bark on the outside, almost fall off the bone inside. The deliciously heavy smell of smoke permeates every bite and the sauce is a balanced, peppery flavor, just sweet enough to balanced a little tang in it. I'll be ordering an extra side of sauce next time. I wanted to savor the ribs, but I couldn't help inhaling them instead.
The baked beans were tasty, but the potato salad was a little mustardy for me. I was too full to try the coleslaw, but it looks homemade. They had homemade banana pudding today and I couldn't pass that up. I'm not one for desserts, but I love bananas. It was everything I was hoping for - rich, creamy, cakey (that's a word, right?), delicious. Papa's BBQ is going to see a lot of me in the future.
