Amidst the hustle and bustle of 23rd Street, RUB BBQ has a
way of both sticking out and blending into the Chelsea scenery.
Past visits here have found the restaurant to be comfortable
enough for casual dining during a ballgame or raucous enough
for happy hour. The menu prices are about average for the
area, with the exception of the Down Home Pig Pick'n(which is
an entire BBQ'd side of pork with four sides) and The Empire,
which is a full-out platter of everything with a bottle of Dom
Perignon champagne. As far as appetizers go, definitely go with
the fried green tomatoes. The wings are okay, but a bit pricey
considering how much you get in an order. The brisket was a
bit dry but not to the point where it was rough and devoid of
all flavor. The chicken was especially good as well as the ribs,
although paying an extra 50 cents for sauce on your order?
Not so much. Be forewarned: they do run out of menu items
(as we found out when we tried to order the burnt ends) and
depending on what you want it can be a bummer. But the staff
is overwhelmingly friendly and overall, RUB BBQ is decent for
some 'cue on the go.
