★★☆☆☆ 2.0 David Schweinhagen · Feb 2026

This was our first time here and I am sad to say it will be our last. We read some reviews and were hoping for more, but we're sadly disappointed. My wife ordered the brisket grilled cheese which was $14! See pic. Barely a half a cup of meat riddled with fat. I ordered the brisket bowl that was also short on meat and just warm not hot. Her meal she ordered a salad and mine cole slaw which we had to adk for as we were finishing our meal! We had to adk for our water from a different waitress before our meal. We were never checked on either. A 10oz sirloin on the menu was over $30! Seriously!

I cannot decide if I like this style of ribs or not. They’re smoked and not sauced. The smokiness and seasonings are SUPERIOR to any others I’ve ever had, but it has a bark on it that is a little tough making them a bit less tender than desired. Super delicious and very different than any others I’ve had, but that doesn’t make them bad! If they could maintain the smokiness and seasoning, with the tenderness of sauced ribs. These would be sensational! Still, absolutely delicious! I Wish more people would give this place a try, great food with an area large enough to have a great time! Give a “local business” a shot and quit going to BDubz!

First time being here. Loved the whole experience. The food was delicious!! Got the pork chop; it was well seasoned, but not overly seasoned. The corn was delicious as well. The only thing that caught me off guard was the green beans had bacon bits in them. It was fine with me and quite delicious, but not sure it was indicated that it was this way on the menu. Service was great overall. The waitress was very friendly and attentive, but not annoyingly over attentive. Cannot wait to come back!!

First time eating here and just heard about it today. I got the pork burrito with frys and bake beans. Family owned. Very nice kind patient owners. The burrito is not for a small stomach and someone who doesn't like or can't handle spicy food. I was very impressed. Keep up the great jobs definitely deserve more then 5 stars.

Stopped in while traveling and we were not disappointed! The only downfall was the Mac and cheese was very bland. Everything else we tried was good and service was very friendly. My familys recommendations include the Surf n Turf nachos (homemade tortilla chips and all fresh ingredients), the Brisket Grilled cheese and Cubano were great too! We will definitely be stopping again during our next travels through Ohio.
