Larry J’s BBQ Cafe

Larry J’s BBQ Cafe on D Street serves smoked brisket, pulled pork, ribs and burnt ends, with combinations for anyone unwilling to choose just one meat. Smoked-and-fried wings and pulled chicken widen the order, while sides include collard greens, mac and cheese, candied yams and cornbread. It’s the sort of menu that rewards deciding on the sides before you’ve filled the whole plate.

The cafe offers takeout and delivery, along with catering for larger gatherings. Check the day’s opening hours before heading over: its regular cafe service runs on a limited weekly schedule, rather than seven days of lunch and dinner. Order online if you’re picking up, and confirm availability for a larger barbecue order in advance.
