Mt. Diablo BBQ hit on almost all cylinders last night. Let’s just get this out of the way; WOW!!!! This meal was fantastic. Let’s start off with the beef ribs.
Yes you read that right; beef ribs. It seems that lately bbq restaurants have left beef ribs off the menu. Not tonight. These beef ribs were huge. There was so much meat. The meat had the perfect balance of smoke, seasoning, sauce and lovely juicy beef fat. This fat had been rendered by a slow cook which created a taste sensation that is making me drool as I type. Beef ribs like this are a huge treat.
We also loaded up with burnt ends, pulled pork and tri-tip. The tri-tip was smoky and tender with beef flavor that makes you want to sing. The burnt ends had all the right moves of rich, smoky, sweet, and savory. This was meat candy at its finest. The pulled pork had a great mix of bark and tender strands of smoky goodness. It was served with a sweet/tart vinegar sauce on the side. Ms. Goofy loved this sauce.
If I were to fill out an optional comment card it would read; side dishes were mediocre and just seemed to take up room on the platter. None of the sides were bad but the effort and care seemed to be phoned in.
Overall we shall return to Mt. Diablo BBQ. The bbq meats are fantastic. It is a fun place and also has a large micro-beer selection. If you get a chance try the beef ribs.
