Yesterday we had the opportunity to go eat at Linus BBQ in Itaewon and let me tell you it was worth it. The owner of the store is a Korean man who grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. After learning that we knew it was going to be good. What fellow Alabamian wouldn't want to eat some good ol' Barbecue, anyways?
To get to Linus BBQ park at Gate 5, by the gas station, turn left as soon as you walk out the gate. Cross the very first cross walk you come to and head straight down until you see McDonalds. To the left of McDonalds there is a stairway leading down to several shops. Pass the shops and go straight to the opposite end exit. You will come out right in the dining area of the restaurant. Turn to the right and find the hostess booth. The hostess will take your name and you will stand in the alley way waiting for your table. Opening hours are from Mon.-Thurs. 11:00 a.m.-3:00p.m. / 5:30 p.m.-10:00pm. Fri.-Sun.- 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. / 5:00 p.m. -10:00 p.m. .
We got there on a Thursday evening at 5:00 p.m. And there was already a growing line of people. Luckily, we were sat at a table quickly. The hostess and our waitress spoke English and we didn't have any issue ordering our food. The menu was given to us in English and the words were burnt into a slab of wood. We chose the meal that came with pulled pork, a rack of ribs, brisket, and four sides along with your slider buns to make a sandwich. The four sides were Bacon Potato Salad, Baked Beans, Slaw, and Fries.
They do give you a pitcher of water to drink when you sit down at your table but we ordered two Crack Teas and two Lemonades. The Crack tea was almost like an Arnold Palmer and the Lemonade, to our surprise, was blue and was mixed with carbonated water.
We were in heaven when our food arrived. The pulled pork was amazing on a slider with BBQ sauce and slaw. The ribs just fell off the bone. You know, the ones you can eat with a fork? The Brisket was so amazing that even Gracie agreed.(and she's our picky eater) The Bacon Potato Salad was really good but if you don't like the taste of onions you may not like this side. The Baked Beans were spicy and reminded us of the Ranch Style Beans in the Black can we buy at the Commissary. James loves Baked Beans so he was all over that. The fries were really tiny but they gave you so many that it made up for it.
The meal itself was 82,000 won plus adding in our drinks, our bill came to 106,000 won and worth every penny. We had enough left over for Lunch the next day. We are already planning a trip back when Brody comes home because he is a Brisket man.
