Hot Rod's was housed inside Joann's, a no-frills bar in Mine Hill. In such nondescript quarters, the attention to detail in the 'Q' is totally unexpected. They're moving headquarters to Wharton, but you'll still become an instant believer when the warm cornbread arrives at your table with maple butter. It is hard to move on, but the wings here are an absolute must, as they are cooked in Hot Rod's special sauce. They are spicy, but with an underlying sweetness that is a secret of the chef. Other macho and messy favorites include the pork ribs, smoked in-house to perfection, and the huge pulled-pork sandwich, a messy handful of tender pork and special sauce. With all this meaty chow, you'll probably want to balance your meal with some of the fantastic vegetable sides. The airy hush puppies, creamy coleslaw, peanut oil french fries, and succulent slow-baked beans all count as vegetable dishes, don't they?
