The newest culinary edition to the Park Circle Food Scene is The Barbeque Joint! Just when we thought we had enough soul food, we find that we didn’t know what we were missing.
Wow, you couldn’t ask for a freindlier staff! Owner Scott Cloud fixed our plates while describing his food history. This Louisiana native learned to Barbeque from his grandfather Dewayne, a cookoff king, and we think his grandma must have influenced the desserts!
We both had the pulled Barbeque Pork sandwich one with coleslaw and the other with collards, both were fantastic. Of the three sauces, we tried them all, mustard based “gold”, “spicy” vinegar and classic “red” tomato based. I liked the gold, but my freind loved the vinegar, even on her collards.
The intense flavor comes from the meat marinading for a couple of days, smoking with hickory for 4 hours and then cooked slow and low all on location at the restaurant.
The interior is warm and inviting, with picnic tables, checker board floor, and mustard yellow walls accented by corrugated tin for a true Southern feel, there was even great music from Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan.
After lunch we split a bowl of “Dirt” for dessert. It tastes much better than it sounds. How great it is to have the ex Garde-Manger chef from the Woodlands serving up dirt and pork in Park Circle, thanks Chef Scott, we’ll be back soon!
