"Expect a line at the Joint, the iconic barbecue spot where the wait is accompanied by whiffs of smoky, porky goodness. Dig into platters of burnt brisket ends, ribs slathered in vinegar-based sauce made at the restaurant, decadent mac and cheese — heck, why not top that dinner salad with more meat? Copious portions, friendly service, daily daiquiri specials: what’s not to love? For a city that was slow to embrace barbecue, the Joint is a tastemaker." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
