I'm not particularly interested in ribs, but as I recall they had good burgers and some sort of deep-fried onion-loaf.  If I'm remembering correctly, the only thing I didn't like about the place was they had little teeny-tiny napkins that were really wash-cloths.<\/p>\n<p>That's <i>Damon's<\/i> in general -- this particular <i>Damon's<\/i> I never got to.  Given the location, if I was in the area and craving a burger, I would more likely cross the street to <i>5 Guys<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>It is a nice location though, and it looks like they had a patio which would be very pleasant evenings this time of year.  <a
