Full slab rib plate - juicy tender ribs with really sensational seasoning and light sauce. Love the house bbq sauce our order came with. Basket of cornbread - really dense cornbread which is unusual but I like the taste and texture. THREE meats - pulled pork melts like butter in your mouth so moist. 1/4 BBQ chicken leg - nicely done Smoked sausage - a nice option. Handcut fries - I wouldn't say I'm a fan, these were too mushy for me. Large potato salad - yes go for this all the way! It was a really nice side. Lots of onions though so if you don't like that well too bad. TWO meats - Beef Brisket - falling apart so delicate and good 1/4 BBQ chicken breast - again nicely done Large Mac n Cheese - a little spice hit I enjoyed but the kids didn't like it. Orders online and it was done right on time for pickup. Noticed a few seats inside. Dark interior vibes.

Y'all, after a long day of traveling and a week of seafood, I was thrilled to see BBQ! I really…read morewanted to love this place, but I'd be selective about what I ordered. I have been eating damned good Southern U.S. BBQ for most of my life (like old Mr. Moses selling racks of ribs out of his old smoker on a trailer good), and I can tell these ribs were steamed, not smoked. They were fatty and soft/mushy. A good, long-smoked rib has the fat rendered down and still leaves a "bite." I mistakenly ordered a rack, thinking I could make two meals out of it. Nope. I was able to get through half, and that will be it. The sauces were good, and I enjoyed the potato salad. It had a bit of a tang, and I wasn't mad about it. The BBQ beans were okay. No issues with any of the other food the family ordered.

For the sides, get the hand made pickled vegetables. They have the tart forward and the right amount of back heat that will elevate the meat. And if you never had friend pickles, get them. They do spears which isn't as nice as coin style pickles but they are still done right.

So I added this business, only to find out I can't find much for contact info for them except for: meet them anywhere from 12 am- 4 am at 5237 blowers. All booze ingested and post 2 hours downtown would also hit the money. I've reared myself away from your typical slice of pizza at pizza corner and into Rocky's amazing "meat sticks." Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy a good slice from time to time. I prefer to call them sticks but I suppose he does have shishkabob written on the side of his cart. Nuzzled into an entrance way just down from Willy's, the smell of their sausages and kabobs is like a sensory overload for half, large, and extra largely snapped individuals from thurs-sat. Cool part is they are super cheap and leave you with less of a fat and carb induced hangover the next day. 6 bucks for 3 sticks and a lot of protein. The cool part if you can slap them in a bun and take away the stick, or you can naw off the stick as you walk (me). They are marinated and cooked to perfection. I swear, they get me every time. I think I go out for the sole purpose of getting a stick. ALL HAIL THE MEAT MAN.

The only thing that wasn't as good was the kimchi soup with pork which was way too sweet. We had the kalbi, the rice cake with cheese, bulgogi, bibimbap, seafood pancake and everything was very good. The only thing was the rice cakes portion was surprisingly small. Not sure what happened but the flavor was awesome. Only three small amount of side dish which was a bit surprising for us since we were at a BBQ place. Service was good as well. And they have a good variety of alcohol here , including Korean liquor. Price was decent. Overall, a good spot. Definitely come if in the area.

I got the Bibimbap ($11.99) and got my husband the Dakgalbi Combo ($14.99). The Bibimbap was tasty, but the meat was a wet and saucy ground meat mixture, and not the drier ground meat or beef bulgogi slices that I'm used to with Bibimbap. The vegetables were green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, onions, and spring mix lettuce. There was also a fried egg on top. No mushrooms or zucchini. And definitely no gosari. The rice was white rice and it was nicely cooked though. Overall it was an enjoyable meal, even though it was lacking some ingredients that I really like in bibimbap. Also the amount of meat was fairly minimal. My husband's Dakgalbi Combo said it was supposed to come with 2 Gimmari dumplings, but it only came with one :( It was good, but where's my other one? It's basically glass noodles, wrapped in seaweed, battered, then deep-fried. I wish we had gotten 2, as per the menu. The chicken was good, but a bit on the dry side. It had a fiery kick to it. It also had some fried rice cake slices in it. No vegetables though, other than onions. The cashier was really friendly and great. I advised her of my sesame seed allergy and she checked with the kitchen and advised me of recommended substitutions. She even checked my food before giving it to me (the kitchen actually had to remake my food, as it did contain sesame seeds first time around. The cashier caught it and asked them to remake it). Five stars to her! The food I'd say is 3.5 stars. So overall, I'm saying 4 stars. There's some seating inside the restaurant and one lonely table for 2 in front of the restaurant, which is where we ate. I kind of liked only having the two of us out there, lol, but if you're set on eating outside, you'll have to try your luck, as the table could be taken. If you eat inside they have a free self-serve water station. There is also free WiFi. The password is on the wall. Street parking only.

Stopping in around 4pm on a Tuesday, it was pretty quiet in the small shop, other than the stream of music videos playing on the TV. I'm not even sure what the source was given that MuchMusic and MTV barely play any music these days. Ordering at the main counter, I went with the sweet and spicy chicken combo ($8.50) which comes with rice, salad and miso soup, and I tacked on a bottle of water as well. Sitting down at the small counter running along the window, I took in some Adele and other pop music mixed with the sizzle of the deep fryer in the back and notes of spice in the air. It wasn't long before I had my container of grub and was on my way elsewhere to dig in. Upon opening the container, the first thing you're going to see is the respectably-sized pile of deeply red hunks of chicken. I'm pretty far from being a Korean food expert, but I assume that their ubiquitous fermented chili paste, gojuchang, plays a leading role in this chicken. The hint of fermented tang to it would suggest that as well. That, combined with the spice and slight crispness to the chicken made for a tasty entree. I'm not entirely confident that the pieces of chicken didn't come out of a bag: they weren't that mushy texture that frozen chicken can be, or overly dry, just not particularly moist and way too uniform. A pleasant surprise was a couple fried dumplings, which were crispy on the outside, and juicy and pork-tastic inside. The steamed rice was cooked perfectly and was easy to eat with chop sticks. My salad seemed to be run of the mill, creamy coleslaw. It was a bit disappointing in that it would have been nice to try a Korean salad, but it actually helped balance out the heat of the spicy chicken. The cup of miso soup was nice as well, with a mild broth that still had a nice umami flavour, with bits of konbu and ultra-tender cubes of tofu. All in all, it was a very well rounded meal, and at a very good price. They're a unique business in the city, so I hope they can carve out the niche they deserve and I'll be back in the near future so that I can try out their battered chicken.
