Northside BBQ

Behind the nondescript strip shopping exterior around the corner from Pine Lake is a delicious BBQ restaurant.  I loved the pulled pork sandwich. The bread was fresh, pork was piled on and the sauce -- many choices here - was tangy.  Not sure how they prepared my wife's chicken breast. It wasn't fried but a mouth-watering baked-in glaze covered it and kept the white meat moist.  Highly recommended and very affordable.

I've had some fantastic ribs from this place, but lately, when the owner isn't there, the chicken and the ribs end up over cooked and over sauced. I had food from them yesterday, and was so excited about what I was about to eat only to end up highly unsatisfied and even a bit angry about what I ate as compared to their prices.

Just when I thought that I knew all of the gems that were located in La Porte IN, someone goes and introduces me to someplace new exciting and delicious. This is just going to be added to the list!

If you are going here for the ambiance, atmosphere, fine dining experience, forget about it. You will be sadly disappointed. if you are looking for a freaking kick-ass meal then this place is right up your alley. actually my only complaint about the whole experience was that the dining room was as cold as a meat locker. Once i started eating, this was quickly forgiven.

I ordered a 1/2 slab of ribs with sweet BBQ sauce. The ribs had an outstanding smoky flavor and just fell off of the bone. For sweet sauce, it was not overpoweringly sweet but was perfectly balanced. You received two sides with your meal and I ordered pea salad and baked beans. Both items complemented my meal perfectly. We started out with an order of nachos.  They did not give you nacho chips but they gave you deep fried potato slices covered with pork, cheese, sour cream and jalapeños. It was a real treat.

This place is going to be a staple of my diet in La Porte, IN. I am looking forward to my next visit.
