★★★★★ 5.0 Michael C · Jan 2026

The food was outstanding. The pulled pork sandwich was excellent portion size was huge. You will not leave here hungry. Their version of tiger sauce, horseradish with mayo and a touch of the barbecue sauce is a great fry sauce. Their marketing is outstanding with a small grill smoking during the daytime with a huge barbecue pit smoking inside atmosphere is cool and relaxed. The staff is super friendly coming out and checking on your food.

Came here after visiting a local brewery, glad we did. Its quirky but in a good way. We stayed in to eat, enjoyed a variety of BBQ options - brisket, ribs, beans, fries. All really good & for a bonus, a little cup of soup starter. And honestly, give me a bowl of that soup and some cornbread and that would be meal right there. Staff are friendly and helpful. Take a moment to enjoy the interesting decor and if you are of the mind, buy something to drink because they have quite a selection of adult beverages to choose from.

I normally dislike leaving a review but, feel it's necessary after such poor food. Prices seemed pretty comparable to chains like Mission BBQ and Famous Dave's but the food fell below par. Fries were dry, overcooked, wrinkly and cold. Even upon reheating in the air fryer, I couldn't save it. Tossed out most of them into the trash. Mac & cheese, porn n beans and green beans were solid. Smoked wings were okay. The regular fried wings (chose with hot sauce) looked like charcoal and were overcooked. I could get better wings at a local pizza place. Ribs and the four meat platter (Brisket, Grilled Chicken, Bonfire BBQ, & Beef) were okay but, again got beat out by Mission BBQ and Famous Dave's. The server seemed nice enough but, forgot to place the cornbread I had ordered in the bag. I

I couldn’t like this place any more if I tried. Nice folks serving some of the tastiest pit beef, brisket, mac/cheese and fries you could ever wish for. And I’m not going to lie, the whole pit beef/liquor store combo was unusually cool. Johnny “guarding” the restroom door was pretty damn cute too. Not sure when we will fly into Baltimore next but this place will be on the list to visit.

I absolutely love this place. The young lady behind the counter takes so much pride in her job and the best customer service. The food is some of the best around. Perfectly smoked. The wings and fries are crispy and so delicious. The BBQ and Pit Beef are also perfectly cooked. Definitely a hidden gem inside a liquor store.
