Arrive early at the this wildly popular barbecue restaurant in Jefferson — because when they run out of the goods, Riverport shuts shop for the day. Chopped brisket and pulled pork sandwiches are favorites. Order a few of those with a side of swamp fries (think cheese fries on steroids) and hush puppies, and there will be more than enough to go around.
