Best barbecue next to Ribs n Bibs down in Hyde Park, in my opinion. You get a choice of style in your ribs: wet or dry, Texas or Tennesee, and a choice of two sides (beware the corn, it swings wildly from great to terrible). There's a pool table in the basement and swinging music to keep you happy. more
