text: A carnosaurus rexs home from home Could I be any clearer From the postmodern retro American decor with a slightly agricultural flavor in this familyowned and familyfriendly gastronomic paradise to the scrummy nomnomnomalicious treats Joes Real BBQ has it all This is undoubtedly one of my alltime favorite restaurants in the Valley nnI invariably survey the whole menu every time I go and I end up going with the ribs which are always juicy read a couple of reviews in which the reviewer said that the ribs were dry I do not know I think you went on the one day of the year they are dry and coated with a BBQ sauce that is to die for I have never gone wrong with the potato salad coleslaw or corn but I hear the BBQ pit beans are great too I am not a root beer fan but my son swears it is awesome and he is usually pretty forthcoming about things that do not sit well with him so I have got to believe the root beer does not suck too badly The pulled pork and the chicken rawk the sawks so check them out if you get a chance nnAlso love the takeout window outside If you do not feel like standing in line inside and there is always a line around lunchtime and dinner then get your quick fix with some takeout instead nnAll of the menus can be found at Joes Web site httpwwwjoesrealbbqcommenuphpnnThe prices are on a par with Famous Daves but I think the food is much better so Joes offers better value and a real downtoEarth allAmerican family atmosphere
