"Hometown Barbecue serves all the things we expect from a stellar pit-smoked barbecue spot. Their ribs, brisket, mole-dusted wings, and smoked turkey BLT all make us want to go immediately chop down a tree so Hometown’s smoker never runs out of wood. But this huge warehouse also offers lots of great things we don’t necessarily expect at a barbecue joint, like good cocktails, a yucca bowl drizzled with avocado mayo, and charred broccoli with poblano crema. It all gives Hometown more utility, which means you can have a great time here without ever touching a single piece of protein." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
