Though barbecue sauce can be used to power tractors or grease slip 'n' slides, it’s best for making beans sing and chickens dance. Start a party on the tongue's floor with today’s Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of American fare at Hawk's Fish & BBQ for carryout.

Hawk's Fish & BBQ's menu slathers appetites with succulent barbecue, golden-brown fish fillets, and juicy chicken entrees. Hawk's sweet and savory house-made sauce, which blends vinegar and a tomato base, dresses each barbecue dish for its debut in an exclusive belly. The signature chopped-barbecue-pork sandwich ($3.89) enthusiastically applauds as six spicy chicken drummies ($4.29) perform a synchronized dive into a bath of barbecue sauce, hoping to earn a perfect 10 from mouths. Cuisine anglers reel-in southern-fried lake trout and whiting from a sea of flames, channeling them into the two-piece fish dinner, which teems with a school of sides such as slaw and onion rings ($7.29). The house-made Frankie Pie—a sweet-potato tart ($0.99 each)—will reward mouths for not publicly drooling.
