When you walk in the door, you find full-page framed newspaper articles about the executive chef who owns this restaurant, plus more than a dozen accolades from the press, and all this for a rib joint? It turns out that the owner is atop-rated chef, and his ambition is no less than to bring barbeque to the upper crust by mixing soul food flavorings with professional culinary technique and quality foods. Does he pull it off? After just one bite, I would say he does. After two more visits, I am now a big fan! When you try his smoked meats, get the sauce on the side. Although the sauce is definately killer, the meats are so good that they don't need it, so use the sauce sparingly.
Pros: smoked meats, killer hot sauce, great desserts
