John Brown's pork spare ribs ($8 for 1/4 slab) "are not messy or reliant on sauce; the flavor and smoky aroma stand on their own bones."

Long time fan of this place but tonight was one of the worst BBQ experience s of my life. Fatty brisket dry as shit. Under-seasoned. No smoke rings. Just dry brown meat. #sad

The place is run down, old, people barely speak English, overpriced, they want $15 for a simple sandwich, no value, no good experience.
