When 13A opened, I could not be happier as this was originally the home of The Spare Rib, not the worst chain I guess, but a chain none the less. When driving by; 13A seems to give off the idea of being a bar and grill. In actuality, 13A is a mix of a sports bar, lounge, fine dining all in one! When you enter the dining area the focal point with out a doubt is their little living room setup of 2 couches, a coffee table and working fireplace. After that you will notice the plethora of flat panel TVs. 13A’s menu is a mix of BBQ, Steaks, and various bar food. To begin with we had an order of the jumbo cocktail shrimp. I was not completely impressed, but then the previous week I had eaten at Docks so there was an extremely high standard set. I am not sure I would order them again, probably just try something else on the menu. For my entree I went for the 1/2 rack of St. Louis ribs. The meat just fell off the bones. I was actually able to eat the ribs with a fork and knife, that’s right folks no nasty sticky hands after ribs. The ribs came with a side of cole slaw and beans. Dining along with me a friend ordered a steak, and another got a pulled pork and chicken sandwich. Both enjoyed their meals as well. Additionally, I have to mention we went on a Monday night and they had a $3 Blue Moon special. It is great to see a place like this so close to home.
