Baby Back Jack's Old Fashion Broiler   

With the venerable Phil's BBQ only a few miles down the road, it was pretty gutsy to open another barbecue takeout spot in Hillcrest, but Baby Back Jack's comes at the neighborhood with a "we aim to please" attitude and slow-cooked racks of ribs slathered in the house's proprietary sauce. The menu's small, but is packed with filling items like roasted chicken, pasta salad, baskets of fries, burgers (including a Hawaiian one with pineapple on top) and a chopped pork sandwich covered in barbecue sauce. The Double Dog is actually two hot dogs stacked and covered with barbecue sauce, grilled onions, shredded cheese, mustard, ketchup and pickles (there's a drug store down the street for antacid tablets). If all that meat sounds a little heavy for you, try one of Jack's salads ... with meat. The chopped salad combines romaine lettuce with chopped prime beef and garlic dressing.
