Well, let me tell you folks that just about my favorite food is, and has always been, BBQ Ribs. Only thing is, I’m pretty dawg-gone particular about ‘em. They gotta be GOOD, and there aren’t very many places that consistently serve good BBQ Ribs (though I’ll try out almost anyplace once).
But, getting to the main point here ………I’d noticed a while back that we have a poster on here (Pitcherjlt) who carries a “Dowling’s Smokehouse” tag around on his posts, so I’d been looking for Dowling’s Smokehouse on my trips to Ruston. Never spotted it, so I had to get the address off the net. No wonder I never spotted it, ‘cause I haven’t been on Cooktown Road just north of the interstate in many, many moons.
Back to the main point……….. I have now been to Dowling’s Smokehouse (twice—before the Techsters game last Saturday and before the Bulldogs game this Thursday) and pigged-out on the BBQ Ribs, and they are EXCELLENT. BTW, the wife and I don’t live in Ruston, so we have to drive in for the games, and since they’ve moved the b/b games up to 6:30, it really messes up eating before we leave home, and we usually don’t have a whole lot of time to eat once we get to Ruston. So this is just perfect – GREAT BBQ Ribs just spitting distance across the I-State Hwy. from the TAC .
Nothing like going to Dowling’s Smokehouse and gnawing on a rack o’ bones just before watching the Dawgs play ! ! !
