In the shadow of the Queen theater in Downtown Bryan there a small friendly BBQ place called All the Kings Men. This is not the traditional BBQ place but rather an artisan BBQ style restaurant. The menu is unique and explores the edges of BBQ flavors while still holding to the preparation.
After a quick look at the menu, I was surprised to see familiar items teamed with ingredients more often seen with upscale restaurants. Appetizers such as Candied Pork Belly Burnt Ends scream of mouth-watering goodness. Side items like Gouda Mac & Cheese Creamy Havarti Grits make interesting complements to the traditional sides of BBQ fare. As much as the menu seems simple my decision for lunch was the opposite. I took the server’s recommendation and ordered the Kitchen Sink Sandwich. How can you go wrong with a sandwich with one of every meat they offer?
