Today we ventured out to Rachel’s Bar-B-Que And Soul on Seymour Ave. near Jordan Crossing. Rachel’s Bar-B-Que And Soul has two small tables inside, and a nice covered picnic area outside.
The menu includes burger, coneys, fried chicken, fried fish, a plethora of Sunday dinners, and or course…BBQ. Since our BBQ contingent dwindled to three die-hard BBQ hounds today, we ordered the full slab rib dinner which included two sides. We opted for mac-n-cheese and baked beans as our sides, and got a slice of sweet potato pie to share. The sides were both excellent. The baked mac-n-cheese had a nice consistency and weren’t drowning in cheese. The baked beans were sweetened with brown sugar and were easily the best baked beans we’ve encountered on this or any other BBQ tour. But we didn’t go to Rachel’s Bar-B-Que And Soul for the sides, we were there to try the ‘cue. The mountain of spare ribs we got were drowning in a sauce best described as average, but even that couldn’t cloak the pitch-perfect texture and flavor of the ribs.
These ribs fell off the bone with just a slight nudge from a fork or knife, something I’m used to seeing with back ribs, but never with spare ribs. Despite receiving what appeared to be an absolutely gluttonous amount of ribs, the three of us had no trouble polishing them off, and still had room to split the piece of sweet potato pie which was moist and delicious with a nice cinnamon aftertaste. The perfect way to polish of a fine BBQ lunch.
