RESTAURANT REVIEW
The Art of Bar-B-Que!
Who doesn’t love Bar-B-Que? Okay, well I can think of a couple people who do not enjoy that wonderful smoky bar-b-que flavor, but only a couple. We have quite a few bar-b-que options here in our surrounding area. I have not tried them all but I will let you know a few of my favorites.
Double T’s Bar-B-Que at 415 Hickory is my newest bar-b-que favorite.
I never heard of Double T’s Bar-B-Que until one of our co-workers recommended this place to me. All I can say is Thank You for the recommendation! This bar-b-que is simply scrumptious. They claim to have the best southern style smoked food in our area and I think they are right! They hickory smoke their pork and brisket slowly for 10 to 12 hours, so it is very tender and delicious. I have only eaten there a couple times but I will eat there again and they are now on my catering list.
Another place that has been around for a very long time is Frankie’s Bar-B-Que located at 1621 Circle Ave in South Bend. It is absolutely delicious. I have experienced the rib tips and the chicken and both are simply mouth-watering good. Keep in mind this is a place for carry out only.
Then there is Famous Dave’s on Grape Road. I have been there several times and have never been disappointed. The food is simply delectable and the side dishes and desserts are magnificent. You have to try their beans, they put little pieces of pork in to add flavor. Famous Dave’s is also on our catering list and we have used them many times for personal events.
These are three of my bar-b-que favorites. If you have a bar-b-que favorite, please share it with everyone. I know I haven’t tried all of them and I would sure love to get another awesome recommendation!
Happy eating.
