I won't even sell somebody a barbecue unless they get cole slaw. If they want a barbecue and they don't want cole slaw, there's something wrong with that person.  It all goes together. You've got to have cole slaw and hush puppies with barbecue.

bkarau's Review of Riverport Bbq

Weighted Overall
5.715
  • Coleslaw: Standard, but good.
  • Beans: Pinto. Standard, but good.
  • Beef: Good cut/prep but dry. Weak spice not improved by sauce.
  • Potato Salad: Bland and sour - pickles?
  • Atmosphere: Nice historic street corner location. Used to be a bar. Cheesey posters and flowery tablecloths detract. Nice 20-foot shotgun over bar.
  • Sausage: Snappy. Good texture and light spice. Firm.
  • Ham: Good but not great.
  • Spare Rib: Falling off bone. Bark is tender. Not spicy at all.
  • Pork Roast: Juicy. Sliced with grain. Nice ring.
