Customer Reviews
Smells delicious just getting out of the car. Friendly staff, upbeat atmosphere, and simple menu. If you are in a hurry, I would advise calling your order in ahead of time as the wait for one person was 30min today. That being said, yummy! Plenty of leftovers so the price is logical... plus I'm not getting up at 3am to start a smoker.
Went here for lunch with my sister on opening day. The BBQ was great as well as the coleslaw and beans. The macaroni and cheese wasn’t the best in my opinion but overall everything was really good! Owner and staff were all friendly and service was great. The food served up fast and hot. Nice atmosphere inside too, kinda like an old tavern or bar. I’ll definitely be back!
I've had just about everything on the menu. Never had a bad meal. Today was brisket and mac n cheese. Did not disappoint. Staff is great and the owners are both dimes! Parking can be tight but that just means the place is great. PS please don't get rid of the mac 🫡
Very friendly staff, vibe is good for a BBQ place, but the benches at the booths are hard and uncomfortable. We got the pork ribs, mac and cheese, loaded baked potato (bacon), and coleslaw. The ribs were EXCELLENT - very tender, very flavorful, absolutely great. The mac and cheese was dry and without much flavor. The baked potato was also dry. The coleslaw was decent, but certainly not memorable. I'd come back and only sample all the meats - the sides were all disappointing.
I tried the pulled pork sandwich and a side of coleslaw. It was great! I can't wait to two the beef ribs plate. They said they rotate in tri-tip or brisket on occasion. I'll be back for more!!
