Louie’s Hickory Smoked BBQ stand at the BBQ Ribfest<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In\u00c2\u00a0this year’s BBQ Ribfest, there’s ONLY one hometown entry – Louie’s Hickory Smoked BBQ.\u00c2\u00a0 There might be some other local vendors selling everything but BBQ, but Louie’s is it – and a great representation for the Fort!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I can tell you from personal, first hand experience that their ribs are excellent!\u00c2\u00a0 The portion I\u00c2\u00a0tried was a bit hot for my liking (they had a\u00c2\u00a0more mild sauce available, but I took what they had at the moment) but the meat was tender and juicy.\u00c2\u00a0 I definitely knew I’d had ribs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Their restaurant is located\u00c2\u00a0on the Southwest corner of Runnion and Sinclair Streets.\u00c2\u00a0 Some of you may remember this as the home of Saylor’s Pizza.\u00c2\u00a0 However, the guys shared that this also used to be a Kentucky Fried Chicken.\u00c2\u00a0 That area of Runnion Street is the remnants of what one can only guess used to be a thriving commercial area.\u00c2\u00a0 In fact, just to the south of Louie’s sits an old Texaco gas station\u00c2\u00a0that is now a grocery store.\u00c2\u00a0 (Photos have been taken, but are being saved for a day when I have nothing else to post.)\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

So support the local guys – show up, buy some ribs and cast your vote in favor of Louie’s!<\/p>\n
