| - Cherry Street Bar-B-Que only scored a 3 stars because for one big main reason: our food came just enough warm. By the time we were done with the first item, the rest was barely warm. Surely the flavour was good but to be honest, I was expecting something better when I compare this restaurant with other places I had the luck to visit south the border.
We had brisket, side ribs, baby back ribs (1/2 rack) and half a chicken. To drink we had bourbon and lemonade and (I believe) 3 speeds by Amsterdam brewery.
The brisket was really good while the ribs were just ok. Ribs, when are perfectly done, should come off the bone like butter. These, unfortunately, did not and by the time we started to bite into it, they were just slightly warm.
The chicken tasted good but, being our third item to eat, it was totally cold by the time we got to it.
The sides we had were the mac-n-cheese (o-k) and the coleslaw that was delicious, perfect to balance and settle down the ingestion of all the food.
Overall the restaurant offers a menu with a wide choice of different cuts that should satisfy even the most picky meat eater.
They have 2 smoke pits at the back.
The setup is cool and the bartender was both knowledgeable and friendly. The drinks we had were without a doubt, a good suggestion by the bartender.
Despite the Cherry Street Bar-B-Que is located in a beautiful and unique building, is a bit out of the way though and the parking may be... "troublesome".
I will give this restaurant another shot just because the vast majority of the reviews are very good.
