I appreciate everyones suggestions. After having worked all day Ill be driving in Tuesday night from Tulsa. Their flight arrives Tuesday afternoon so we will only have the evening for dinner and SEVERAL beers. We are staying at the Fairfield Inn & Suites on SW 15th Street so I wanted to stay within 15 min or so of a drive.

My main concerns are good food, sitting down at table (no fast food stuff) and ability to enjoy a few beers. Leo's reviews and a few of your suggestions seem to be the winner but dammmm does that place look like a dump from google streets.

Yes it does look like a dump... but if you go there at lunch, be prepared to park next to a lot full of Jags, BMWs, Mercs and other high-end vehicles. It's no joke... the place is wall-to-wall with physicians every day from the medical complex down the road.

Inside, it's folding tables and school-cafeteria type chairs, but there's a reason all those guys who can eat at Ruth's Chris every day hit up Leo's for lunch. Proximity is one... but serious BBQ is the other.

And DO NOT forget to leave room for the strawberry banana cake. DO NOT!

tRidiot has it right on the mark about the lunch crowd and the food in general. Trust me that it gets different when the sun goes down...'nuff said.

Given your preferred locale with the hotel, the previous suggestions on Earl's Rib Palace on Reno just east of Meridian will meet your needs.

I guess I could ask my father in law to smoke some ribs. Definitely the best BBQ I've eaten. Would certainly be beer available too. Just might be kinda odd coming to a random guys house though.
