"You’ll find all the BBQ staples at this award-winning restaurant, from pulled pork sandwiches to brisket platters to cornbread & collard greens. Feeling adventurous? Opt for the burnt end grilled cheese, made with bourbon bacon jam and served on Texas toast. Distance from zoo: 0.4 miles." - Adele Chapin, Kalina Newman
