Rusty's Bar-B-Q

BBQ was mediocre at best. Sauces were okay. The baked beans came from a can. Best part about this place was the company with which I shared it. The restaurant itself had a great atmosphere and the staff was fantastic and very attentive. I wish the BBQ would have been better. It was not terrible but definitely not memorable. If you’re ever in Leeds, stop by and give it a shot. Maybe I caught this place on a bad day.

The folks at the Barber Museum unequivocally recommended Rusty's when asked where to eat nearby, they said it was the best BBQ in the area, and they weren't lying! The brisket and ribs were cooked perfectly, just fell apart, the Mac n cheese as good as any back home in New Orleans, and the fried okra was toothsome, indeed. The service is great n Rusty himself came up to ask how we liked it. Can't say enough good stuff about this place.

Had the sampler plate for one, with fried okra and green beans on the side.

Good job smoking, guys. Nice taste, no burnt ends too harsh the flavor. The sides were generous portions, the okra I really enjoyed.

The sauces weren't my speed, but for context, they usually aren't. For me, you don't put ketchup on spaghetti, so if the barbecue is done right, why would I use sauce?

Easy to find, lots of parking.

I'd eat here again.
