I am a Dreamland snob. And by snob, I mean that I will only review the original, beat down, un-airconditioned shack in Tuscaloosa. I will eat at the others, because a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Your first hint that this is a good place is the stray dogs outside the door, hoping that something is leftover for them.

Located in Palm Beach Gardens, this offshoot of the Miami original is - so far - the best in the area. They do a fine job with the staples - ribs, pulled/chopped pork, chicken and especially brisket. When they nail the brisket it is sublime.

Shorty's has what could be the Best. Coleslaw. Evar. Finally figured out it was buttermilk that made it so creamy - and it's fantastic. The fried dill pickles are another must-have.

While it isn't the best Q ever - its definitely worth a visit and has no real commercial competition in the area.
