Michael Moses Review of Billy Joe's Ribworks

If you can score a seat on the water's edge, you've got a lovely spot to eat and relax during Covid. Very good spacing between patrons, confidently feels safe.
Doesn't take reservations, so I'd recommend on a busy night to put your name in and head up to Newburgh Brewery for a beverage while you wait.
Despite being in the name, the BBQ selection is surprisingly limited (comprises only 3-4 things on the menu). Had the St Louis style half rack appetizer, which came with a load of fries onion, so that was a nice treat. The meat was dry and mealy... satisfactory for bar food, but didn't meat my expectation for a place named "ribworks." The BBQ salad was fine... Not a rush to order again.
With that said, there was a star on the menu that we would come back for exclusively... The fried pickles. These are the spear kind, but still easily in my top 3 of all time. Get them!!
