There's no table service, the food comes in plastic takeout containers, and the decor consists of pig art and football memorabilia. But none of that matters, because the former Baltimore Colt's legendary barbecue emporium is all about smoke, meat and sauce. And good value - a family of four can eat heartily here for less than $40. The dry Memphis ribs might be too spicy for some, but a hit of Nelson's Bama BBQ Sauce tames them. The beef brisket sandwich is piled high with tender slices, accented nicely by tangy beans and flavorful red-skin potato salad. Collard greens are dotted with pulled pork, and corn bread is good and crumbly; only a bland coleslaw disappoints in the side-dish department. Wash it all down with lemonade or sweet tea. There's only one choice for dessert; good thing you can't go wrong with the buttery Alabama Apple Cake.
