Mable’s Smokehouse and Banquet Hall: According to the owners, there wasn’t any place in Williamsburg where you could get the Southern food they grew up with, which might seem odd to fans of Fette Sau, Fatty ’Cue and Honeychiles to name a few. But take a trip to Mable’s, and you’ll start to get sense of what they mean. The space is truly a labor of love, built by a restaurant industry couple who added Southern touches (scattered taxidermy, wagon wheel chandeliers, vintage feed store signs) to an essentially Brooklyn-esque space (wide warehouse feel, reclaimed barn wood, Edison bulbs nestled in hanging wash pails). The drinks also have that down-home feel (and down-home prices—$8 for specialty cocktails, $3-$6 for beers), with playful names like Dad’s Cold Medicine, a mix of Dr. Pepper and Crown Royal. The pulled pork is some of the best you’ll find this side of the Mason Dixon, and coming in at only $9.95 plus a side and slaw, the price is hard to beat (nudge, nudge Fette Sau). Just don’t ask what’s in the BBQ Sauce...they could tell you, but then they’d have to smoke you. |
