Backyard B.B.Q Scandal: Restaurant Actually In Doors

Up until a year ago, it seemed like barbecue lovers in Bay Ridge were left with no way to satisfy their cravings near home. That all changed with the arrival of Uncle Jimmy's Backyard B.B.Q. Changing the landscape, it provided a way to get something that was otherwise impossible to find: a real rack of ribs.

The key word when you're mapping out how to tackle a plate of Uncle Jimmy's ribs is "messy". There's no way to get in, out and look like a gentleman. Throw that one out the window and start thinking baby bibs and wet wipes. The sauce is plentiful, sweet and just smoky enough not to be juvenile. The meat is succulent and tender, falling off the bone with as little as a prod with an inquisitive finger.

Delicious is the right word to use, but so is caution. This plate of tasty pork isn't cheap. A half slab with two sides will run $14.00 and for the adventurous and hungry, a full rack is $22.00.
