Spring Street Smokehouse

Located on the edge of Chinatown, this barbecue joint is owned by the catering service for the nearby county jail. Have no fear, though—you'll eat better than the prisoners. Served with very spicy sauce, the pork ribs and beef brisket are the standouts, but the kitchen also turns out good sandwiches and, if you call ahead, deep-fried turkey. You can also expect a good selection of beers and a comedy night on Fridays.
