      <content>It's called Bobby Q's.  My husband and I ate there on Dec 26 (I remember because we were in Westport taking advantage of the after Christmas sales) and we ate lunch there.  It was pretty good-although the meat didn't have as much smoky flavor as the Cookhouse's meat does.  I had a pulled pork sandwich which was good and I think my husband had ribs which were very tender.  They have a variety of sauces on the table to flavor your meat with.  All in all pretty good-although I think the Cookhouse is better.

      <content>Checked out Bobby Q's a few weeks ago - didn't think it was anything to write home about. Prices reflected the high Main St. rent they are likely paying and while quality was certainly passable, I prefer Ash Creek in Norwalk.</content>

      <content>The pulled pork had no fat so was dry and tasteless.
The ribs had the membrane left on [and also no fat so no flavor except for the dry rub which was overly sweet and heavily 'put on']
The brisket was fair.
This is NOT Southern BQ...</content>

      <content>Haven't been in a year or so, but Ash Creek Saloon on the Bridgeport/Fairfield line is really good. Here's a review of their Norwalk location.

      <content>Ashcreek in Fairfield is tops. The ribs are lick smacking and the Long Trail on tap is even better. </content>
