| Co-owned by Monica Pope of t’afia and Jonathan Jones, the original chef at Max’s Wine Dive, Beaver's takes locavorism to a new level. Practically everything on the menu comes from local farmers markets, and even the meats they smoke in the pit are procured regionally. You can get barbecue sandwiches at lunch, but the real carnivores come after five for the aged, rubbed and smoked chickens, pork ribs and beef brisket. The Smoker Sampler is a feast, and the house "Ring of Fire" sauce is guaranteed to make your mouth water. But there’s also fresh Gulf Coast seafood, from the grouper tacos to the po’ boy piled high with fried shrimp, oysters and onion rings. Happy hours are truly happy, with a bar menu of classic cocktails --- we like the Brewer’s Manhattan with homemade bitters --- and it’s easy to fill up on the smoky queso and fried pickles. Sunday brunch offers a Squealin’ Mary with bacon-infused vodka and a surprisingly tasty smoked Spam dish with fried eggs. If you haven’t filled up on the classics, maybe you’ll have room for some "Beaver Balls" --- deep-fried brownie balls topped with powdered peanut butter, white chocolate syrup and vanilla gelato. |
