Best of the Bay: Beulah Land Bar-B-Q
is the Editors' pick for . . .

Best Barbecue Overall

Beulah Land understands ribs, and that's the starting place for barbecue. It's the best overall barbecue since the demise of the Rib Rack on Gregory Street (for those who remember). Beulah Land does everything well, in its truest form. The sides are basic - beans, slaw, potato salad, chips - but good. The fact that it's a locally owned original is a bonus. The pile of split hickory behind the restaurant testifies to the authenticity of the wood-smoked food. And before you leave, buy a bottle of Allen's personal recipe barbecue sauce for your home pantry. It makes your home barbecue instantly better.

Best Barbecue Ribs

Beulah Land Bar-B-Q, 6020 W. Nine Mile Road, Pensacola. Beulah Land Bar-B-Q is such a joy - meaty, tender, juicy ribs, with the perfect sauce, time after time after time. Owner Doug Allen is an alumnus of Dreamland in Tuscaloosa, Ala., which should be 'nuff said for aficionados. Beulah Land is a bit of a trip - the western end of Nine Mile Road, across from Coastal Airport - but the consistent quality of the ribs (especially the tenderness), makes it stand out. The building might be modest, but the barbecue is boastful. And the ribs come with white bread - a Southern tradition that makes sopping up the sauce easy.
