  • As a testament to my lunch time impulsiveness, the sole reason I dropped into Blair St BBQ was because some dude in a bright pink pig costume was waving at traffic on the corner of Blair and East Wash. Yep, that's good enough for me... While the food was a bit of a disappointment, the service was not. A person behind the bar enthusiastically greeted me as I entered the restaurant. I scored a table by the window and as soon as I was settled, my uber-attentive server came by to take my drink order and provide me with the Wi-Fi access code. Throughout my meal, my server seemed genuinely committed to ensuring that my first experience at Blair Street BBQ was exceptional. This was one of my better customer service experiences of my summer lunch expeditions. 4+ stars to my server in the blue t-shirt with the dropbox logo. Unfortunately, the folks in the kitchen could not match the proficiency of the front of house. I elected go with the BBQ pulled pork sandwich, since that was what my pink porcine friend was repping in front of the restaurant. The sandwich came with a choice of a side (fries for me), three mini cornmeal muffins and a a cup of slaw. The fries were your prototypical Sysco coated fries that offered up a pleasing crunch, but they got progressively saltier as I worked my way to the bottom of the pile. The cornbread mini-muffins were cold, doughy and blah - no thanks. The slaw also was totally generic - bland and not all that fresh. While I enjoyed the substantial, toasted sourdough bun, I was less enthralled with its contents. When done right, pulled pork is a succulent, almost decadent meal, offering up a deep satisfying flavor that almost melts in your mouth. This restaurant does not get it right, their pork was dry and chewy and just plain forgettable. It made me especially sad, because the Blowing Smoke food cart was so close and for the same price, I could have had an exquisite pork sandwich... While the restaurant shows it age, it is clean and inviting. There are plenty of tables and booths in the dining area and a full service bar. The restaurant also features a regulation shuffleboard table and a pool table for those who wish to make a night of it. Will I return? Probably not, life's too short to eat mediocre barbeque. Even if it's pimped by some dude in a pig costume.
