Henry J Beans, Chelsea

I went to Henry J Beans for the happy hour really, but saw this platter on the menu and had to get it to compare it to the platter at Big Easy, which is down the road from Henry J Beans.

This platter had; half rack of bbq ribs, bbq wings, potato wedges, stuffed jalapenos, chicken crunchies and onion rings served with a variety of dips.

The bbq sauce on the ribs and wings was finger licking good. A good mix of smoky, sweet, spicy and tangy. The chicken crunchies were breaded chicken deep fried. The jalapenos were stuffed with cheese and tasted better than the Big Easy counterpart. The onion rings and wedges were regular onion rings and wedges, nothing extra special to write about but needed on the platter to balance out the bbq-ness.

I think I prefer this platter better than the Big Easy one, the only thing that Big Easy's platter is better is the vast array of dips they offer.
