Pork-n-Beans.. WOW!! Arrived at 4...very comfortable back bar stools and ordered a drink - reservations for 4:30 came downtown a little early. After reading up on all of my fellow yelper detailed reviews; I was well aware of the seating in at PnB. I not a fan of the communal tables. I prefer a more intimate experience when dining out. There are several tables and some booths in the back, which I thought were great but found out after I inquired they only seat 3 - 4 people - not 2. So decided to have the meal at the bar and it was a great experience. I totally recommend it actually. By 5:00 the restaurant was almost packed.
I want to give warm shout out to the bartender "Mya" who provided me with the best level of service possible. Just selecting my beverage was tough yet fun. There were so many IPA's to choose from. I decided on "Nugget Nectar | Tröegs Independent Brewing" It was delicious.
Let's talk about the delicious food. The menu.. short and simple loved it.. The way the information is provided on the menu in makes ordering a breeze. I am a huge lover of "Pastrami" so went with the Pastrami Pork Belly: It was delicious and so tender. Sides "Ranch Slaw" - very tasty but slaw was no doubt drowning in the ranch. "Fries" simple potato wedges. The fries were a perfect way to sample the 4 bbq sauces - which were all equally great. It was tough to identify a favorite... *classic* fits the name - no doubt. So flavorful and safe for those who don't care for anything too spicy or bold. The *seasonal*sauce was top notch too and ideal for those how like it hot/spicy.
All of the smoked meats come with rolls, house pickles, onions and red cabbage on a tray with your sides. Its really a fun meal. The prices are above average but you get what you pay for folks and its worth it. It was an unforgettable experience.
Thanks Pork n Beans.
