Editorial Review for Kojak's House of Ribs – by Alexander Thomas
The Scene
Kojak's real picnic-table atmosphere finds its patrons ordering racks of ribs, barbeque roast beef, pork, country sausage and chicken. Kojak's combination dinner lets you build a custom barbeque platter of any three meats.
The Food
Popular picnic fare sides, pretty close to homemade, feature cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, macaroni salad and—what would a barbeque be without it—corn on the cob. If there's room left, try one of the freshly prepared desserts, such as the apple cake with vanilla ice cream, chocolate cake or pecan pie. Just don't forget to wipe the sauce off your chin on the way out.

I HAVE ONLY BEEN TO KOJAKS ONE TIME AND THE FOOD WAS AVERAGE TO ME. NOT BAD, JUST AVERAGE. BUT THE THING THAT REALLY SET ME BACK WAS WHEN I ASKED THE WAITRESS IF I COULD HAVE AN ORDER OF FRIES. SHE SAID "NO, WE DONT HAVE A DEEP FRIER". I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I THOUGHT SHE WAS JOKING. HOW CAN YOU HAVE A SOUTHERN BBQ JOINT AND NOT HAVE SOMETHING AS BASIC AS FRIES FOR A SIDE DISH?

Great old house for restaurant. In nice ,not muggy weather, it's quite nice to sit out on the front porch. The lighting is nice. As far as the food is concerned, every time that I have ordered their ribs, they've been beyond tender to the point where they're down right mushy. Not the right texture for your bbq rib palette! Ribs should be tender without being overly cooked and warmed and should have a slight char. if you don't mind over cooked mushy ribs, go to kojak's have a beer and chill. With nice weather it can be nice. In other words the house has been carring the ribs. If the ribs had to stand alone, there would be no Kojak's.
Pros: Great Old house
Cons: Bad BBQ ribs
