The tour continued today with a trip to Findlay Market where we hoped to visit both Ms. Helen’s Grille and Mr. Pig. Unfortunately, Mr. Pig was closed so we concentrated our efforts on Ms. Helen’s Grille. Located in a booth inside Findlay Market, Ms. Helen’s Grille presents a cheery storefront with a menu of BBQ and soul food at reasonable prices.
We were disappointed to discover they were out of back ribs for the day, but happily settled for some rib tips and, out of curiosity, “turkey ribs.” Our orders were completed with sides of mac-n-cheese and “smothered cabbage.” The rib tips were succulent and full of flavor, covered (but not drowning) in Ms. Helen’s own, excellent BBQ sauce.
Frankly we’re still not sure exactly what part of the turkey comprised the “turkey ribs,” all we know is that they were absolutely delicious. Fall-off-the-bone tender and very flavorful. The sides were of equally high quality — both the mac-n-cheese and the smothered cabbage received high marks from the whole group. Ms. Helen promises they’ll have ribs if we stop back on a Friday, which we will definitely have to do. For once, we had consensus — Ms. Helen’s Grille ranks among the best in our tour.
Know of a local (non-chain) BBQ place we’ve missed? Drop me a note in the comments and we’ll try to check it out!
