Are there any good southern style BBQ places in this city?

I know it's a chain, but something like Famous Dave's which are all over the USA would be perfect for what I'm currently craving.

Eh, found this place, and went for a late lunch today. It was pretty decent. The beef brisket was good, and I took a pulled pork platter home for whenever my next meal is.

A little (lots) out of the way, though.

This place used to be the Jacques' Trap. Never went there - but the tacky name stuck in my mind since I first heard it.

Yep, The Foolish Chicken on Holland. Some of the best chicken and ribs you'll eat anywhere. And some of the best sweet potato fries you'll ever have around here too.

Thanks.

Still not 100% what I'm looking for. I really want beef brisket.

Definitely feeling the pulled pork sandwich though.

I went to the place in Hallville once..it was very quiet..the food was OK but as the article says it wasn't the healthiest in the world.

Agreed it's not the healthiest food around...I resisted the pork smothered fries app, but maybe next time. Pork Rib Chop was meh, but my wife loved her chicken. They ran out of ribs as they weren't expecting to be so busy so quickly...they were jammed. Ribs next time for sure..it's what there known for.

You're the third different person I've heard who went to this restaurant only to find out that they're out of ribs. I love ribs and it would be really disappointing to sit down for dinner and find out they didn't have any. I will have to try this place sometime though; maybe I'll call ahead.

This is a pretty good list of some of the best places: Ottawa au-delà des clichés.

Has anyone tried El Camino yet? It's the new take-out window/dining lounge taco place on Elgin and it's always so damned busy! I keep hearing about how amazing it is!

Yes, it is excellent. I have been many times (both the take out window and for a sit down meal) and I definitely recommend it. I really enjoy the pork and ox tounge tacos. Matthew Carmichael, the guy behind El Camino is planning on opening another restaurant on Somerset (December 2013/early 2014) where the short lived Burgers on Main used to be. That part of Somerset seems to have a lot of turn over for restaurants but has so much potential to be a nice, vibrant block. Hopefully Carmichael's new place adds some more life to that area and compliments places like the always busy Centretown Pub and Union 613.

I ate a Jaeger Schnitzel Platter yesterday at Schnitzelworks on Cyrville Road.

Best German I've had since Lindenhof.

Problem is the last seating at Schnitzelworks is 3:30 Monday to Friday and 2:30 on Saturday. No evening or Sunday openings.
