""Good barbeque"" is a subjective concept, of course, but, for me, Maddy?s has the right idea. Reasonable prices. The barbeque itself is neither too dry, nor too soupy, and the sauce is savory with more heat than sweet. I?m a creature of habit with barbeque, so I haven't tried a lot of their menu, but I can highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich. (If you aren't a pork fan, they do a chicken version that is quite nice too.) If you like garlic, you can?t miss the potato salad, which is a garlic-y delight. I also pony up the 25 cents for extra sauce, as I?ve discovered that dipping a bit of potato salad in it just takes it to a whole 'nother level. The killer beer specials, free soda refills, and hip and friendly staff are the icing on the Maddy's cake. \r

One or two caveats, (but nothing that should prevent you patronizing this fine establishment). Parking is really really bad. The lot is small, and seems to have suffered earthquake damage. The dining area is intimate and they have live blues, so come early on a weekday if you don't like crowds and noise. Also, the building might look a little funky and run-down for some folks, but keep in mind that you aren?t going to find this caliber of barbeque in a place that looks like Chili's.
Pros: Great food, great service
Cons: Lousy parking, but it won't keep me away
