| - Fairly decent barbecue in the 'Burgh. The ribs are properly smoked and quite tender, with a rather indistinct rub...I got a little chili powder taste from it, plus a bit of garlic, but not much else. They offer two barbecue sauces, which is actually just one, as they simply add cayenne to the house sauce to make it more spicy. The baked beans were very tasty, a nice blend of navy beans, black beans and kidney beans flavored lightly enough that I could actually taste the beans, which I appreciate. The fries are also very good, with a nice potato flavor that lets you know they're freshly made. I'm not doing handstands, but I'll go back and try more. I skipped the pulled pork, as I like mine with the traditional North Carolina vinegar sauce, and theirs comes with the house barbecue sauce...one I don't really like. The chicken was OK, but not smokey or unctuous enough for me to rave about. Again, I'll go back and try more.
