  1. Rank 1. Takja BBQ House

    Korean Barbecue

    Upscale Korean BBQ on College Street where the servers actually do the grilling for you, which sounds fancy until you realize it means the meat is always perfect. Dry-aged cuts from around the world get cooked over live fire tableside, and the banchan gets the same serious attention as everything else. The crowd is date-night couples and groups who wanted somewhere cooler than the usual spots. Cocktails lean Korean, wine list leans natural.

  2. Rank 2. Cherry Street Bar-B-Que

    Barbecue

    A Bib Gourmand barbecue joint that looks like it lost a fight with a construction site but won the more important battle, Cherry Street does serious American BBQ in a converted bank with all the warmth of a place that's been around forever. The pitmaster spent years on the Kansas City competition circuit, and the smoker is literally a shipping container out back. Come on a weekday if you can, because the meat does run out.
