"Another local food truck big dreams, the new Smoking Kow is luring in locals with its self-styled barbecue. Customers camp out on the communal picnic tables, knocking back cold beers while picking apart spare ribs with expertly spiced pork that just falls off the bone. Pulled chicken is good; adding the spicy-sweet mambo sauce makes it great. Staff tends to favor the mac and cheese; creamy potato salad is a better bet for those looking to cool off." - Eater Staff
