MMMMM. If you are looking for THE BEST BBQ in the valley skip Goodwood and go to Sugarhouse BBQ. I have been to the south, part of my family lives there. My dad even runs a catering business Argentine bbq style. I know my bbq although I have never found a rib I wanted to eat more than a few bites of. Then I found Sugarhouse BBQ. I now understand the obsession with ribs. The complex and deep flavors found in the ribs at Sugarhouse BBQ have never been matched. Intense sweat and salty flavors hit your tongue, only to be followed by a sophistication of smoky peppery goodness. Meat falls tenderly off the bone, with a crunch of caramelization perfection on the outer skin. These ribs need no sauce, but there's a plethora to choose from. Well, that's all good you say but I can't eat ribs every day... uh I can. These are awesome. But if you're against that sort of thing (why are you at a BBQ joint would be my first question) try the wings! You'll get that same smoky goodness, a high quality meat--almost no gristle. Because ew, who likes gristle? The famous chicken plate resembles a larger version of their wings. Looking for something lighter? Try the melt in your mouth turkey of all turkeys. Sweet and smokey, this turkey puts all mother of Thanksgiving turkeys to shame.
On a side note, their sides are delicious too! We tried the mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, & cucumber salad. YUM!
Three criticisms... yes no place has everything perfect, and Sugerhouse BBQ isn't any different. The Beef brisket was dry. It may have been that we went at 9pm? I was very glad there wasn't a lot of fatty meat though, I'll take dry over fatty because their sauces were so good, but I know most people would be slightly disappointed. It still has great flavor though.
Criticism # 2 The cornbread made me sad. Not just disappointed, sad. Dry & very little flavor. Try making cornbread with a LOT of butter, honey, real corn pieces & coconut milk & then you'll have something delicious.
Criticism # 3 I make the best bread pudding in the world, that said, I found theirs lacking. It was still tasty & edible. Interesting points given for adding papaya. It was a bit dry & I think they used whole slices fo bread rather than breaking the pieces up.
All in all though, I WILL be going back there! To die for meat makes up for my minuscule pickiness. Still tastes great a few days later too :)
