| - I saw some less than stellar reviews and was a little leery; I have no idea why I doubted Chef Symon. The meats were so delicious. Three of us HUNGRY people shared the pork ribs, fatty brisket, pork belly, and the spicy cheddar kielbasa. The kielbasa was bursting with melts bits of cheese (I thought fairly mild too). All the meats were super, but I suppose the ribs were my least favorite surprisingly. They had a little more chew and less smoke then the rest of the meats (they were still tasty!!!)
I liked all the meats by themselves, but I also enjoyed the BBQ sauce. It is one of my favorite ever, tangy & mustardy.
The sides were good too, but I think I may favor the meats more. They suggest one meat and side per person. We were so full. For three people, we got 4 meats and 4 sides (greens, cucumber salad, potatoes, and pork rinds) greens were fine, the rest were yummy but nothing I couldn't live without. I think the cucumber said did the best job cutting through the richness. I think we paid too much for the pork rinds, but I can't imagine not having them now that I tasted them.
Service was friendly, but wait was long. That didn't matter to us bc we went earlier expecting that. East 4th street has so many great places to grab a cocktail first. Did not approve of the single person restrooms haha. It's crazy busy in the restaurant, poor planning!!
I will return, can't wait to try the large, pastrami style ribs!
