Sherman's Bar B.Q.

When the menu is limited to three mains and three sides, the odds are good that the pairings may be peculiar.

At the sole surviving Sherman's, the name has been sheared in two, and orders are delivered through a spinning security pass-through. Ribs, chicken, and pig feet are the mains; spaghetti, potato salad, and cole slaw, the sides.

Sauce was an option that supposedly went with my ribs ($11.75), not my spaghetti, but it was too sugary for either. Since Sherman's offers takeout only, the pasta was limp by the time I took a seat at one of the many benches at the Colonel Charles Young Playground, one avenue over at Lenox and 145th. (That's OK; I ordered spaghetti as a goof.) Ribs were good, and plentiful (though difficult to count); I'll reserve further judgment until I lay off the sauce.

You are a brave soul to actually order from them. I've been in several times and always left without ordering. Seems my 6th sense was right. :-0
