Everyone and their mother on the mothership told me to go there for dinner, so I did with my wife (then g/f) in 2014 when we went and I found the ribs to be VERY mediocre: not bad at all, but far from the amazing reputation I was told.
Went to Eli's BBQ in 2015 and it was amazing, really good sideribs and pulled pork.

Up here (of which there are many American groups that enter the competitions at ribfests), at least, the sauce and flavour is key, so they put all their effort into that.
But yeah, I'm one of the few people I know who prefers Beef Ribs to Pork and I have made them on the BBQ and in the over, both have come out PHENOMENALLY and I'm not a pro with a tricked out rig or oven, so I can only imagine if I did have the resources they got.
