Editorial Review for Zeke's Smokehouse BBQ – by Lesley Balla
The Scene
This squeaky-clean neighborhood favorite swarms with barbecue fans and families alike. Wash-bucket metal chairs around checker-topped tables gives the little storefront a stylishly down-home feel. Order at the counter, then grab a table quick; your plates will be delivered in no time.
The Food
Chefs from Reign and Maple Drive (who brought comfort food to Beverly Hills) have paired up with well-known Montrose meat purveyors, so expect good barbecue with flair. The plates are as tidy as the room: Wood-smoked meats arrive dry, ready for a good slathering of zippy Memphis-style, spicy-sweet Kansas City or mustardy Carolina sauce. Combo up tender baby backs, beefy spare ribs, juicy chicken, brisket or hot links with fresh coleslaw and smoky baked beans for a belly-bustin' meal. Share a round of puffy hush puppies and crisp sweet potato fries, and top it all off with a hot fudge sundae or gooey brownie.

I ordered this for delivery with a friend of mine and less than an hour after eating we were both sick. The only other meal we both had that day was a frozen pizza which another friend, whom never got sick, shared. Though I am no doctor, I and my friend have been sick for almost 24 hours now. This is the first time I have ever gotten sick from food, but this is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies. Maybe this is a fluke case, because the food was otherwise delicious. In fact I am actually sad that I can never eat there again, but for me "once bitten twice shy" explains my feelings for Zekes right now.

My husband and I went to dinner at Zekes this weekend. We've heard about how good they are but were blown away how fantastic they are! The food was absolutley delicious. I always order brisket whenever I go to a restaurant specializing in Kansas City BBQ and I have to say this is some of the best most tender brisket I've ever had. We had the choice to either go to Tony Romas which is just ok for BBQ or to try Zekes and were glad we made that choice because we had great service, delicious food and it came fast and were not disapointed with the prices because it was definatley worth it! There is something on the menu for everyone and every price range!
Pros: Fast Service
Cons: Needs more service with a SMILE
