Yay! I'm a fan.
Interestingly enough, I'm not even a big fan of BBQ. What's made me go more than once already then? The people. I remember them, and somehow they remembered me.
Yet let me tell you, this BBQ is nothing to scoff at either. One can tell the ribs have had all that tender loving care to make them so... well tender. The meat falls off the bone, but I had a hard time not gnawing at the bone either -- so I might have, just a little bit anyway. The smoke ring was quite evident both visually and in flavor. I'm more of a dry rub person (e.g. Memphis BBQ), so I tend to find sauces too sweet and lacking purpose. Here was no different.
Second time around I was feeling cheap, so I ordered their pulled pork sandwich. What in the world was I thinking? I don't even like pulled pork all that much. Oh yeah, because it was cheap. Well behold: the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had. They made a believer out of me. Quality pork that for once wasn't swimming in sauce. What really sent it over the top was the cole slaw on top. It melded perfectly in flavor, and added a harmonious textural contrast. The sucker wasn't small either; always a plus.
Now I'm going to take a moment to talk just about the establishment because it is so worthy. One: it just smells as good as it should. Two: the decor reflects the vibe poured into their service. Three: the music is spot on. Four: not only does the chef have skill not to be trifled with, but we share a similar haircut (he gets this). Five: the ladies up front are darlings with every bit of southern hospitality right down to their accents. I nearly missed out on this because my first attempt their were closed that day. Luckily something drew me to try again (which is actually quite strange for me)... and then again for good measure.
