The Wood Urban Kitchen

It’s hard to resist the groovy sounds wafting from this sidewalk space that comes to life every day (except Mondays) around noon on a well-trafficked section of Market Street. Do yourself a favor and order the brisket… and the hot links… and the ribs—in fact, just go with a group so you can try a little bit of everything. The tender slabs of barbecue sauce-smothered meat melt in your mouth instantly, and pair perfectly with sides like mac and cheese, baked beans, and street corn. You also can’t go wrong with a side of the fresh greens, with sizable chunks of pork. The Wood also represents one of your best options for getting a brew or cocktail before or after the game.
How to order: Walk in or order online for takeout.

When: Daily 3–8 pm
This upscale barbecue spot offers a generous happy hour, especially if you’re in the mood for elevated cocktails paired with smoked meats and Southern sides.
