Adam’s rib is not what we mean when we conjure up this meaty specialty that tickles our taste buds. Eve didn’t serve barbecued pork in Eden, as far as we know, otherwise things might have turned out differently. But having the Best Ribs on Long Island sounds like paradise to us. We bring you this year’s winners for the Best Ribs on Long Island.
Long Islanders Voted Smokin’ Al’s Best Ribs on Long Island!
1. Smokin’ Al’s
19 West Main St., Bay Shore. 631-206-3000; 4847 Merrick Rd., Massapequa Park. 516-799-4900. www.smokinals.com
Slow-smoked, meaty, glazed in its own succulent barbecue sauce and literally falling-off-the-bone, Smokin’ Al’s ribs are everything they should be. Whether a half rack, full rack, paired with a smoked chicken or some of Smokin’ Al’s smoked meats, these ribs are finger-licking great! Word to the wise, however: make sure your table is stocked with about 20 napkins. You’ll need them.
