"Sample the City's Best Smoked Barbecue: BB's Lawnside Barbecue - The wackiest addition to the menu is the Bar-B-Que Sundae, a 3-layered concoction of hickory-smoked pit beans, creamy coleslaw and juicy pulled pork served in a mason jar with a pickle and extra BBQ sauce on top."

Lisa Waterman Gray

"Don't judge by appearance — the barbecue spot is a diner's delight. Pork ribs, battered fries, baked beans, jambalaya, and crawfish étouffé keep regulars begging for more, more, more."

"The cooks smoke the ribs for 10 to 12 hours and the briskets for 14 to 16 hours in a granite barbecue pit before they’re served and they just melt in your mouth."

Lisa Waterman Gray
