Monk: True BBQ is home to some truly world-class hash and I was recently alerted to the existence of this song named after the West Columbia, SC restaurant from a recent John Tanner post. Opening with a piano riff followed by a searing blues solo, it enumerates all the reasons to come on down to True BBQ including:
Check it out – both the song and the hash and rice.

Monk: Disney Food Blog was a great resource for the Monk family on our recent Disney trip, and they’ve checked out and reviewed the newest barbecue restaurant at the park: the Toy Story-themed Roundup Rodeo BBQ at Hollywood Studios. Its a full service restaurant, which means reservations are required and prices are $45 for adults and $25 for kids 3-9.
In short, they were not impressed by the level of barbecue compared with quick-service options in other parks but found that it might be a good option for a group with a wide variety of food preferences. It also doesn’t have characters stopping by tables, but that could be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective.
Based on this, if I do make it to Disney anytime soon I will likely go to The Polite Pig in Disney Springs versus breaking the bank for what sounds like mediocre barbecue at Roundup Rodeo BBQ.
Description: The moment is finally HERE. IS Roundup Rodeo BBQ worth all the hype it’s been receiving leading up to its BIG opening… or have the years of anticipation ended in a fizzle?
