My wife, cousin and I recently drove 5 hours from metro Detroit to the Heritage Blues Festival in…read moreWheeling. Our first stop in town after checking in was Hangover BBQ (I'm a huge fan of BBQ, and am no slouch myself). Imagine my disappointment in reading the sign on the door that said "closed, doing VIP service for Heritage Blues Festival", or words very close to that. Well, damn. I was determined to sample some of Hangover's stuff, so on the second day of the festival approached who I later learned was Billy, the owner. I related my story to him and asked if they would be open the next day, Monday following the festival. Billy said they wouldn't be opened until Thursday. He must have noticed the look of disappointment on my face, and asked if I'd be around until the close of the festival that day. I said I would, and Billy let me know that he would hook me up with a plate later in the day/evening. I was utterly floored when at around 3 pm, I noticed Billy walking toward me in the crowd in front of the stage. I recognized him and he clearly recognized me. He literally tracked me down and said he had a plate ready for me: brisket, apple crisp and watermelon. The guy is one class act, let me tell you. And let me also tell you that his brisket is top shelf BBQ, with a wonderfully subtle smoke flavor that I prefer over super prominent smoke such as hickory or mesquite (which is why I personally use pecan wood for all my smoking) and done perfectly. It had some really interesting seasoning, one element of which reminded me of a kiss of Chinese 5-spice. The apple crisp was to die for as well. The town was great (my first time there), the people were fantastic and friendly, the festival was great, and I discovered that the area was fortunate to have a place like Hangover BBQ to satisfy their smoky desires. Just a wonderful, wonderful experience. Thank you, Billy! You've got a BIG fan in mid-Michigan who will never forget your grace, kindness...........and 'que! *raising a glass to his newest Wheeling buddy, who I will definitely track down next year* If you're in the Wheeling, WV area, do yourself a favor and look Billy up. You won't be sorry, I PROMISE you.

I ordered the special of the day which was the fried chicken sandwich with the 5 bean kielbasa for my side. Both exceeded my expectations. The highlight of the meal was the homemade bbq sauce. I would literally drink it if I could! Hopefully they will eventually bottle that liquid gold up to sell. I would love to be able to enjoy it at home. I highly recommend giving this place a try. Your taste buds will thank you later!

Sure, it's no frills, but that is how barbecue should be anyway. I took my mother here, and we picked up a half rack of ribs and a few sandwiches. She had a pulled pork sandwich and was halfway done with its porky goodness before I could even ask her how it was. I had a meatball sub myself, and it was loaded with gooey cheese and delicious marinara sauce. The rib shack's sandwiches are certainly extraordinary, a real carnivore's delight. However, the star of this joint has to be the Baby Back ribs, a succulent masterpiece dressed in yummy Jack Daniels glaze. These beauties are cooked to perfection, and the meat literally falls off the bone. The next time I visit Waynesburg this will be one of my first stops.

Two days later, my wife was still raving about how amazing it was! We also split a regular order of fries for $4, and they were just as impressive. Crispy, flavorful, and served in a generous portion--thankfully we didn't go for the large, because the regular was more than enough for two.
