Camp Curtain BBQ Station, Harrisburg

Went up 6th Street lookin' for some barbeque for lunch today. Several years back we had a bbq joint in Wormleysburg that went by the name of Doe & Jerry's. They had some good 'Q. But their place burned down and they chose not to rebuild (which was mega-disappointing, but that's a topic for another day). Since their departure, there's been a few other joints (Memphis Blues, Freeman's) which have done an adequate job, but haven't been anything special. Which brings us to today.

I've heard about the Camp Curtain restaurant before, but had never been. Well, my sister was looking for some 'Q, so I thought I'd go out and investigate. The Station is located in an old firehouse and has a good bit of charm. They offer dine-in and take-out service and from what I saw, they do a booming take-out business. But I'm not exactly sure why. While the waitress recommended the half-rack dinner, I decided to go for a pulled-pork sandwich with a large side of macaroni and beef.

I was pretty disappointed. the picture below shows you what I was served. Maybe six ounces or so of pork on a hoagie-type roll with a mild sauce on top. I only had two sauce options (mild and hot) that were applied in the kitchen. The pork was pretty bland and the sauce didn't add anything to the party. The macaroni and beef was slightly better. Think macaroni and cheese topped with pulled beef and barbeque sauce. I thought it was good and I'd get it again. The sauce though again was pretty neutral and could've used some more spice.



I may go back. But it wouldn't be my first choice.

Dogfish Brewery, Rehoboth Beach, DE

Last weekend my friends and I headed south to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. We got in late and made our way down to Rehoboth Avenue for dinner. Dogfish Brewery (DFB) is based in Milton, Delaware, but has an outlet at the beach.

The menu is pretty limited to appetizers, pizzas, sandwiches and entrees. That doesn't sound very limited, but they didn't have a lot of variety. But it seems to work for them, so we'll go with it. I went with a pizza by the name of "The Happy Non-Comformist" ($8.00) The pizza was pretty good and they give you options on how you'd like your pizza made.

I would go again, but maybe for lunch. It was pretty noisy when we were there for dinner.
