The Joint Restaurant Review: The Joint is something of a culinary enigma in a town not exactly known for barbecue. But one bite of the well-seasoned smoked meat will confirm its authority in the matter. The platter with ribs, brisket, pulled pork, macaroni and salad is so huge that you might think the cooks are daring you to eat it all. But you will. Although the tea is freshly brewed, beer is the quaff of choice, and there’s also full bar. You’re bound to want something sweet after all that spice, so consider the house-made Key lime pie or peanut butter pie. The restaurant’s out-of-the-way location makes it one of the city's best-kept food secrets, but now that you know about it, bang your knife and fork on the table (everybody else does) and dig into some of the best ribs in town. |
