Yesterday afternoon I finally made it south to Double J SmokeHouse and Saloon to eat. For my first time ordering off the menu, I had to go with the ribs. I was hungry enough to tackle a full rack, which came with choice of two sides. I chose sauteed garlic mushrooms and beans. Having now had the ribs, I can say without doubt that this is where I will be sending people for BBQ Downtown from now on. I say that not just because Double J is my BBQ team sponsor, but because these ribs are better than any I’ve had at a restaurant walking or trolley distance from home. If you’ve tried the ribs at the Rendezvous and been disappointed, hop a trolley south to the Double J. I think you’ll be much happier with what you get.
Double J is in the old Beignet Cafe building on G.E. Patterson, at the corner of Mulberry. They’re open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week.
