If barbecued brisket and ribs smothered in a smoky sauce accompanied by a side of mac’n’cheese is on your wish list, The Cube in Albuquerque is the spot to satisfy. Hamburgers, sandwiches, hot dogs and sausages are also on the menu, alongside a list of homey sides like collard greens, mashed sweet potatoes and creamed corn. Pull out all the stops and go for a plate of fries smothered in chile and cheese. Wash it down with a cold Marble Brewery beer on tap or a glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade. Just a hop-skip from the university, this is where college kids should go when they miss mama’s home cooking. The Cube also sells an assortment of barbecued meats by the pound for a take-home meal.
