Rib Tips and Ribs? Where to Eat It?

RibTown BBQ - Jefferson Park

Finally made it back @NYCtoLA!

Rib Plate (4) + Beans

It’s all about the ribs & tips here. The beautiful bark, tender, juicy, almost but not falling-off-the-bone meat, nicely basted, smokey but not smoked. Not salty at all! To me, this is barbecue, not long-smoked meat (yeah yeah long-smoked meat is cue too). Here you won’t get a prominent smoke ring or firm, smoked-to-the-bone meat. And I like it! :blush: No photo of the beans because they weren’t in a separate container and spilled into the bag. :smirk:

2 Pc Chicken & 1/2 lb Rib Tip + Potato Salad

Tips

Healthy sized rib tips, again with the tender meat, fat, juicy and the bark has that nice jerky pull rib tip lovers love. :hearts:

Chicken

The chicken is passable - skin is cooked thru, meat is tender, not salty, but both times no crispy char. :frowning:

Beef Links (mild) + Bun

I wanted the chicken links, but same as last time they didn’t get them. :smirk: The beef links from Pete’s Sausage are very good - don’t expect snappy, firm - the texture is more like chorizo. They’re great smothered in good sauce, alone or in the bun. :slightly_smiling_face:

Greens w/Smoked Turkey Neck

I was so tickled the greens have smoked turkey neck meat - my favorite in greens. They could use a skosh more hot sauce & vinegar, but the flavors & texture are on point! :hearts:

Coleslaw

The slaw is surprisingly special. I think it’s ordinary packaged slaw veggies, but fresh, crunchy, and they make a really good dressing - sweet, creamy, but punchy w/a kick of heat (maybe from pepper vinegar). :slightly_smiling_face:

Mac & Cheese

Probably the end of the batch, so not so special today.

But of Course…


The ribs are delish, which is great for my rib loving sweetheart. For me, I might eat a couple bites then dig into the chicken. With the chicken being meh and the chicken sausage they claim to have but never do I’m kinda’ left out. I’ll definitely get the greens & slaw when hubby goes again. :blush: Also, you may need to request bbq sauce - we didn’t get any - but the ribs are nicely basted and really didn’t need it, plus their doctored sauce needs more doctoring, imho. I’m imaging their meat with Phillips BBQ Sauce. :yum:

Chef Lonny & crew are great! :hearts:

Tip: bring a box to carry the styrofoam & foil packaged food or make sure everything is tightly closed - spillage occurred.

About $55 incl. Tip

Happy Rib & Tip Eating!
