a friend of mine wants to go out and eat ribs.
where on earth do I go for ribs?
any ideas?
don't say Dallas BBQ, I won't go.
anywhere decent?

Everyone raves about Blue Smoke. I've been there twice and am still unimpressed.

It may be uber touristy, but I think Virgil's (from the folks who brought us Carmine's) is terrific. They're on 44th just east of Broadway. Wonderful pulled pork sandwich, nice smoky ribs, and totally amazing biscuits (with maple butter!). Great selection of beer.

By the way, Dallas BBQ does make a very good $4.99 take-out whole chicken. Their locations are usually a bit on the grimy side, the best one being Third Ave. & 73rd.

Now I'm hungry!

thanks Betty!
I'll pick Virgil's.

Ya GOTTA get the biscuits, though!

Come down to Texas. I'll take you a few places that will knock your socks off. hee hee.

My brother lives in Dallas,and he has taken me to many places for BBQ.
and you are right,
some of the best BBQ i've ever had is there!

Tennessee Mountain in SoHo!

I was there a couple of years ago, but wasn't too impressed.

Try Brother's Barbeque. This is a great bbq place that has food that's as good as the bbq places up in Harlem.
and not so far to travel!
try it.
consistently good food. Don't wear a white shirt.
