Editorial Review for Allen and Son – by Tom Maxwell
In Short
If you park in the back of the gravel lot, you'll see the pit. It's plain, but the chimneys mean business. Inside, the plastic tablecloths have a red gingham design. Women with beehive hairdos and construction workers sit on the ladder-back chairs, smoking and eating. The food is as honest and unadorned as the decor, and it's almost perfect. Onion rings are golden, hushpuppies are crispy and the mayonnaise-based cole slaw is just sweet enough.

The bbq was very greasy, the service was terrible and the bananna pudding was grey!

Quite simply, the best barbecue I have ever eaten. They only use pork shoulder and the meat is of much higher quality than other BBQ joints. The decor is strictly no frills, but that adds to the atmosphere. My only complaint is that they allow smoking in the dining room.
Pros: pork shoulder, tasty sauce, daily specials
Cons: smoking, limited seating, not open on Sunday
