Metcalf BBQ is a great place to take the whole family and enjoy a great meal.First, there's plenty of parking space, you just have to walk a bit. If you have a wheelchair it can get a bit difficult, because it is not a paved parking lot (this is because of city renovations, it might change in the future).Second, their BBQ is not the best, but it's tasty; definitely better than most. They have delicious brisket and pork ribs as well as pulled pork and various side dishes...
We generally eat the sides when we come here, and they are top notch. Love their potato salad, beans and coleslaw. Honestly, the coleslaw is as good as mine, and that's a high mark, lol! Today we had the beans, which we so appreciate are made with vegetables and not mean, and they were exquisite. While I cannot comment on the meat, which I know is a key menu item for many, I can fully endorse the sides!
Food is decent. Meat portions are not as big as I'd like but considering the price they're reasonable. Okra is tasty if a bit salty. The real draw and why I'm giving it 5 stars are the playgrounds. Three playgrounds to be exact and so many trees that keep everything shaded.
