Still the best bar on Beale. Best ribs, best bands and the best atmosphere. more

We ate mid afternoon so no crowds this time. Last year, this place was standing room only. My husband & I shared a ribs/catfish meal and added on cajun shrimp. The ribs were pretty good, much much better than Rendezvous, but not the best I've ever had. These beat BB King ribs (we ate there last year and they were... more
