Some press we've had

Guy Fieri, host of Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network. March, 2008
"The place is off da hook, y'heard!"
"Wow, this place is smokin'! Killer BBQ."

Where Y'at, June 2007 - "Best Damn Barbecue" - David Vicari
"For the best damn barbecue, as well as the best potato salad anywhere, you want The Joint."

Offbeat Magazine, June, 2005 - Ian McNulty
"For consistent excellence, coupled with value and a welcoming ambience, the Joint has no equal among local barbecue purveyors."

WWL-TV, the Unknown Food Critic
"A BBQ spot that blows away any other in the Crescent City..."
"In a tie for first, there was the ribs, brisket and pulled pork."
"I can barely put into words the thrill I got biting into that first chunk..."
"[the baked beans] bring a joie de vive never seen before in this dish..."
"The Joint gets a 4 out of 4 on the belt scale."

Rated "Excellent" 2007 and 2008 in the Zagat Survey
"Cue connoisseurs seeking 'barbecue bliss' find it at this 'funky' Bywater joint featuring 'fantastic' pulled pork, 'finger-lickin' good' ribs and a 'mouthwatering' lineup of sides; a 'local vibe' and the 'best jukebox in the city' ensure this 'really cool' joint is 'always smokin'"

FRANK ETHERIDGE of The Gambit Weekly
"...The Joint -- a fabulous, authentic barbecue spot on Poland Avenue deep, deep in the Bywater."
