Like the South's great roadside BBQ stands, this little eatery is tucked into a Plain-Jane building with minimal charm. Fortunately, the tender, slow-smoked meats -- ribs, brisket, pork tenderloin, chicken,turkey,and sausage -- more than make up for it. Add tang with one of a half-dozen house-made sauces representing various regional styles. Carry out or dine in.
No more waiting for the Memorial Day weekend to pig out on Famous Daves barbecued ribs: The Minneapolis-based chain restaurant and perpetual crowd-pleaser at the Great American Rib Cook-Off has finally opened an outpost in Greater Cleveland.
