Besides wonderful barbecue from a more than 60-year-old pit, owner Lindsey Shannon's BB's Lawnside Blues & BBQ restaurant and nightclub serves Louisiana dishes such as gumbo,
jambalaya and red beans and rice. Smoked standouts include pork spare ribs, pulled pork and Italian sausage.
" ... The bawdy spirit of those Prohibition-era days
lives on in this combination nightclub and barbecue joint, thanks to
owner Lindsey Shannon's passion for the blues; local and national
artists perform there five nights a week. It's a no-frills place (all
the food is served in plastic baskets or Styrofoam bowls), and Shannon
offers a variety of smoked meats, but we go for the succulent, tender
beef ribs, slathered in a sauce flavored with apple juice and brown
sugar."
- Charles Ferruzza, The Pitch
Kids' menu. Full bar. Serving lunch Wed-Sun, dinner Tue-Sun. Closed Mon.
