Kloby's Smokehouse: worth the trip

Kloby'sA reliable Dining@Large source sends BBQ good news, bad news. He writes:

"Have discovered the first place I know of in the region that serves ribs to compete with Andy Nelson’s. Also a pretty decent pulled pig. The ribs met my test of not needing sauce, but the pulled pig benefited from a good East Carolina sauce. Made the discovery at a catered affair nearby, but haven’t been to the restaurant yet. Wide choice of other bar-food type dishes, according to its brochure. Will also smoke whole turkey, duck, pig, etc. with 48 hours notice."

He adds: "Bad news for many of your readers is that it’s deep in Howard County. Kloby’s Smokehouse, 7500 Montpelier Road, West Laurel. (MapQuest calls it Laurel.).  It’s at Johns Hopkins Road west of U.S. 29, just south of the Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. Worth a detour."

FYI: I called the restaurant and learned it used to be located in Woodlawn.

Plus they are very serious about their beer.

It's not that far off "the beaten path". It's right off of 29 South, outside of Maple Lawn.

Yes, finally the Kloby's love.

I've gotten their smoked turkey two years in a row.

Wait a second. It isn't off the beaten path at all. I can walk from my house!

Plus, it is a few doors down from Facci, which you Sun folks liked too! http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/dining/bal-ae.fo.tabletalk03feb03,0,6965508.story

FWIW, Kloby's has been mentioned on this blog several times since December 2007, at both the old Woodlawn location and the new Maple Lawn location.

I work in Columbia and go to klobys abnout 4 times a month it is great, but even better is the hibachi place next to it, that place is tops! facci is not good and service is horrible!

I finally hit up Kloby's a few weeks ago, really enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich.

They're looking to expand so thats something to keep an eye on.

Owner's real nice.

As noted above they're serious about their beer as well, just a really nice place, good food, glad they're getting some notice.

Extremely easy to find just off the 29.

I love Kloby's BBQ. I first found them when they were in Woodlawn, and since I live in Columbia I'm glad that they are now closer to me. Their St. Louis ribs are terrific, their brisket is nice and moist, but their BBQ sauce is the best on chicken.

Facci has a nice atmosphere, but their food is only average.

We cook all of our meat with all natural wood at low temperature. Everything is made on premise including our sides from scratch. Daily specials and desserts. Kloby's also caters... GIve us a try...

I really enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich.
