How good is the barbecue at 12 Bones? Good enough to lure the vacationing Barack and Michelle Obama back to the River Arts District, a few years back. Expect a long wait, though, before you get to enjoy the slow-cooked, smoky and tender meats, or succulent sides from jalapeño-cheese grits to smoked potato salad.
The warehouse-like space is shared with an outlet of Wedge Brewing; in-the-know regulars skip the line by picking up food from the take-out counter and carrying it around to the pub.
