phony baloney eatin' rice-a-roni


Pros: they call it BBQ
Cons: it's not at all worth it

Hey, don't take my word for it, that the food here is uninteresting, has little flavor or spice. The Village Voice seldom prints a bad review, but Robert Sietsema really doesn't like this place. He writes:
The "spicy barbecued" is coarse textured, with little chewy nuggets inside, reminding me of the smoked kielbasas in Polish butcher shops. The biggest disappointment, accompanied by a torrent of bad prose, is the "King of Kings—BBQ brisket, the Baron of beef." Uniformly gray, fatless, machine cut, with a micrometers-thin smoke ring, it fails to charm. Given a choice between eating the front page of the Post or a slice of R.U.B.'s brisket, I'd be hard-pressed to decide.
That's pretty bad, dude! Here's the link:
