Reo's Ribs

We had a belated birthday work lunch today at Reo's Ribs. These guys used to be out in Aloha about 10 miles from town, but they have recently moved to a nice storefront down on Mcadam, where their smoker has been making some enemies with the neighbors who don't like everything they own to smell like smoked brisket. They are also famous for being owned by Snoop Dogg's uncle.

Neither of these two things should stop you from going, as the food is fantastic. I got the lunch brisket plate and a side of slaw and I was full about half way through (but I didn't stop eating). We also tried the beef ribs, the pulled pork sandwich, grilled chicken, and the pork roast and all were deemed excellent. They have some great sides if you want to venture beyond the standard slaw and potato salad; there is yams, red beans and rice, gumbo, collard greens, fried okra, and hush puppies. And the best deal of all, for $1 extra you get a huge, buttery piece of corn bread. I am not a fan but they have sweet and regular tea, so people from Alabama and Texas will be happy.

Open everyday from 11 AM to 9 PM.
