Hidden on Washington St. off of Dalrymple lies a little hole in the wall called Snowflake Barbecue. This place has no seating (to go orders only) and makes BJ's Smokehouse look like fine dining.
Snowflake Barbecue offers all kinds of food, from burgers to chicken to barbecue. I ordered the 3 ribs plate with baked beans and a piece of white bread on the side. The spare ribs were a nice size and came wet with a thick, ketchup based barbecue sauce. The ribs are baked, not smoked which gives the ribs a nice homemade flavor like mom used to cook. I love my ribs smoked, but these had a unique flavor and were pretty tender.
The baked beans were decent as well. Not sure if they were from a can or made from scratch, but it tasted as if they added the barbecue sauce to the beans as well which gave it a nice flavor.

Service
The service was friendly but a little slow. We waited about 10-15 minutes to get our orders.

Atmosphere
Atmosphere! Ha! The place is in a not so great part of town with bars on the windows and doors. The old building is not the cleanest in the area and there is no place to eat your food, not even a picnic table.

REVIEW UPDATE: Not long after our visit to Snowflake, the hair salon next door ran into a bit of trouble. A man chased his wife into the salon, broke into himself and the shot her and the place up. Good thing we didn't return for that.
