In Short
This Robinson's location offers the chain's only sit-down facilities in the city. Housed in a former walk-up, this place has a weathered, comfortable bed-and-breakfast feel. Corn muffins, cole slaw, onion rings and steak fries are winning sides, but everyone's here for the ribs--meaty, lean and flavorful. Robinson's sauce is thick, smoky and hickory-sweet; even though your baby backs, chicken, rib tips and sausage will probably be swimming in it, you'll end up wanting more.
