In April we headed to Jon Russell BBQ, at Grandpa's suggestion. What a little gem. I gather from other Gassies the place recently opened, and I am glad it did. It's a typical order-at-the-counter BBQ joint, yet the service far surpassed my expectations. We were greeted by a friendly staffer upon arriving and made to feel very welcome.
I ordered the Jammin' Salmon sandwich, and it was awesome. For a side, I intended to get the coleslaw but a helpful employee explained it tops the salmon anyway. Instead I got the pit beans. The food was excellent, and it was loads of fun trying the rainbow of sauces (blueberry-habanero pepper, wow!).
Josh treated the group to huge platters of chili-cheese fries, which were tasty and heated up well for lunch the next day. Justin splurged on a root beer float for dessert because, really, shouldn't you order it when it's available?
I forget my ranking at the restaurant, but Jon Russell is easily a 4.5 stars going on a 4.999. The setting was fun, food was delicious and service was excellent. Thanks for a great dinner outing!
