Dwight's is smoking with the no-frills Southern-style BBQ that is the best kind of soul food -- comforting, flavorful, thoroughly spiced and cooked to tender perfection. The takeout-only menu at Dwight's is uncomplicatedly short -- you know you are there for the ribs, maybe by themselves, maybe in a sandwich, maybe complemented by some side dishes. The low-priced pork and beef ribs are Dwight's specialty -- savory, meaty yet tender. Although the ribs are seriously seared on the outside, the meat literally falls off the bone. Dwight's side dishes are deliciously Southern. Try the candied yams, the potato or seafood salad, collards, and the touted mac-and-cheese with three different cheeses. Dwight's hot sauce is very popular -- it's bearably hot, with the just right amount of spices that make its texture and flavor unique. The joint is frequently crowded, although the service could be surprisingly fast, considering.

The BBQ is not bad but it's not great either. The side dishes with the exception of the Mac & Cheese are straight from a can. dessert portions are generous. Used to patronize them frequently but servic e is typically very slow even when you call ahead or there are few people in the line.
