| - Michael is back to the top of my list with this outstanding BBQ concept. The anticipation to try Mabel's has been on my list to try since the grand opening and I finally had my chance!
From the first point of contact, all staff members were helpful, attentive and hardworking. They do not take reservations, but rather use the walk-in method only. You provide your phone number and they will email you when your table is ready. We only waited 20 minutes and had a drink next door on East 4 at Greenhouse Tavern because there is not much room at the bar inside Mables.
We sat at a picnic dining style table where you may or may not know your neighbor next to you, which I think is great! If you are not swayed here, you will be at other tables that do have more room in between you and your guest.
Our server was attentive and only visited us for refills, orders and to check in, which was very nice. We ordered the beef brisket, lamb ribs and potatoes which melted off of the bones. The lamb was rather, fatty so I would not get it again, but still full of flavor and you can tell without a doubt that it had been smoked for hours with the flavorful taste in each bite.
I highly recommend throwing on your rib bib and get down and dirty with Mabel's BBQ.
Tip: the secret Ardvark hot sauce is OMG HOT, see if you can handle it. You only need a small dab and will be gasping for water, but it is deliciously painful, joking kind of. Try it out!
