Alachua Together

Yes, it has been forever since I have posted here, but it’s free for everyone who cares to, so I don’t want to hear about it.

But what I do want to hear about, in the comments section if you like, is how much you like your favorite local barbecue restaurant.

Personally, I love the barbecue at Pearl Country Store in Micanopy. Yes, it’s a gas station and convenience store on South 441, but the meat there is the best I have had in Alachua County. And you get plenty of it. I usually get the pork sandwich, and I have to pick up a fork and keep eating until what’s left fits on the bun. It is delicious! No pig ever died for as good a cause!

Warning: the hot BBQ sauce is HOT. If you like that kind of thing, get it. If you are just curious, get it on the side.

Note: you can buy a canned or bottled beer and have it with your lunch or dinner. It’s way cheaper than the beer you buy at a regular restaurant.

I also like the barbecue at Adam’s Ribs. They don’t seem to have their own web site, but this is the link to their menu at GatorFood.

Adam’s is at the other end of 441, near the corner of NW 13 St. and 23rd Av. If it looks like a donut shop to you, it’s because it’s located at the old Mister Donut. It’s not quite as good as Pearl’s, in my experience, but we did takeout BBQ ribs from there once, and they were just about the best we’d ever had. So, since I live just a couple of traffic lights from it, I will likely eat there more often than I would at Pearl’s.

Weigh in, people!
