It's not very often that you find top-notch barbecue and a stellar vegan burger in the same place, but Beaver's boasts both. The "gastropub meets icehouse" near Siena at Memorial Heights is known for its brisket and its nut burger, not to mention the many other revised American dishes.
If you want to try the brisket, order eight ounces of it over toast. It comes hot from a smoker stoked with oak and maple wood, and it's dished out with pickles, onions, cole slaw, and, of course, a healthy smattering of barbecue sauce. Pork ribs and pork sausage are also on the list of smoked meats. You can savor the brisket stuffed inside tacos as well or get more adventurous with something like the alligator and crawfish grits. If you want to skip the meat, try the Beaver nut burger. Its blend of brown rice, cashews, and walnuts mimics the texture of a beef burger without most of the unhealthy fat.
