Little Red Smokehouse - Carver, MA
http://www.littleredsmokehouse.com/lrsh/
I was at the Little Red Smokehouse for my birthday last Saturday night. We were lucky to get there by 5:30, our wait was only 20 minutes but the parking lot got packed after we arrived! I was in the mood for ribs. They have three different kinds of ribs (Carolina Jumbo, St. Louis and Baby Back) and I wasn't sure which ones I wanted. I asked our waitress if she could explain the difference and she said they are different sizes and some have more fat than others. She was very helpful. (Don't be afraid to ask questions about the menu!) I decided to order the Baby Back ribs. It came with two sides and I picked the baked macaroni and cheese and the collard greens. We also ordered a loaf of cornbread, I LOVE cornbread. The cornbread was awesome! It had a nice crust on the outside and was moist and warm on in the inside. The cornbread came with a cranberry butter - I had never had it before but it was great!
I can describe the ribs in three words: D, LISH, US! They had the perfect ratio of meat to sauce and were just the right bit of messy. The barbecue sauce had a sweetness to it and wasn't overly spicy. I had so much fun eating the ribs that I forgot about the macaroni and cheese and the collard greens! Our waitress was very nice and she boxed them up for me to take home.
My brother had ribs too but picked Smokehouse tots and steamed vegetables for his sides. The tots were cool. I had never seen tots like this before - they were huge! Big balls of mashed potatoes that were coated in crumbs and deep fried - nice and crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Thomas doesn't like mashed potatoes so he stuck to the vegetables and we took the tots home as leftovers.
Since it was my birthday, we saved just enough rooom to share dessert. There were several choices but we are a chocolate family so we ordered the Triple Chocolate Brownie Sundae. Our waitress brought out the dessert with a candle in it and sang Happy Birthday. The restaurant is cozy and all the other diners joined in on the song. The combination of brownie, ice cream, sauce and chocolate chunks along with four spoons, was a perfect way to end a perfect birthday meal.
You should definitely check out the Little Red Smokehouse. Parents: if you're taking the kids, plan on having an early dinner or be prepared for a long wait on a weekend night. Kids: try something new and order the collard greens, Smokehouse tots and the cranberry butter - you'll be glad you did.
