Our destination for dinner tonight was Oakwood, but when we arrived at 5:30, there had to be an hour wait. I had my heart set on ribs and remembered we had not tried Burke's on 466A.
So glad we did, for now we have found a new place for ribs that are even better than the baby back ribs of the others. These are honest to goodness SMOKED, dry rubbed pork ribs. Tender and delicious.. just the way southern ribs are supposed to be. The meat fell off the bones and for $10, we had a full rack of meat without dripping sauces and fat. The two sides I chose were traditional potato salad and coleslaw... fabulous. My hubby chose zipper peas and sweet potato casserole... Both delicious. Choice of Texas Toast or Skillet Corn Bread... I chose corn bread with butter and honey... to die for.
They have beer, wine and sodas, iced tea and coffee... and home made desserts - like cherry cobbler tonight... warm or cold... Frosted brownies were coming out as we were leaving.
If you enjoy small places that work to create quality meals, this is it. It's definitely not fancy - plastic forks, paper plates and delicious food. And if you prefer - you can always take it out to go. This is a no frills local business that we Villagers need to support.
