Southern
Johndhi's BBQ
One of the North Valley’s hidden tesoros. They’re known for their sauce, and any of their slow-cooked meats is the perfect complement. In the warmer months, chill on the back patio with a pretty dang good request-taking guitar picker (he knows precisely two Willie Nelson songs).

Mr. Powdrell's
A legendary hometown business in El Duque. Though known for their catfish, the pork ribs are the best – and really, the whole menu is quality. The atmosphere… well, you’re eating in a living room.
