Turnagain Arm Pit BBQ

Summary

This is a semi-random shack off the highway about 10+ miles away from Girdwood.

The fried chicharron and fried okra was really good.

The fried ribs was had a slight crust to it with a strong glaze. I thought this was just OK.

The main dish was one of those platters that had St Louis ribs, chicken thighs, and sausage. You know something is up when the coleslaw was more memorable. I simply loved the coleslaw. It is this really punch-your-face vinegar-y taste with a subtle sweetness. The meat itself was just eh. I’m not sure if it was because it was dry or what. The ribs taste like they were boiled first then put on the grill. They still don’t have the char you’d look for off the grill. The chicken and sausage was both kind of bland. The cornbread was dry.

We also ordered a side of brisket, and you can clearly tell in the picture that the brisket is dry. Quite a shame.

Final Verdict

I felt the appetizers were much better than the mains which is unfortunate.
