When I'm hungry and have been without barbecue, my mind wanders to Twin Anchors. Wet or dry, the ribs are delectable. The portions seem like just the right size (they hang over the sides of the already-large plate but can be finished in one sitting), and the sides (oh, cole slaw!) don't disappoint either.
I've come in on weeknights and weekends and encountered extended lines every time. It's a favorite for many, so anticipate leaving your name and wandering the neighborhood (which ,with its Old Town location, isn't the worst thing in the world). There's valet parking, but otherwise space is tight.
History enthusiasts will enjoy knowing Twin Anchors served as a speakeasy during Prohibition. Thankfully, you can still wet your whistle at the bar. Just don't forget about the ribs.
