★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Mohd Eiman · Nov 2025

Came from Colorado. Excited for the “best bbq smokehouse” place in Gillette. Came around 1pm on Tuesday. Less than 7 people in there. Menu says market price, which sounds bullshit. No indication of how much meat in menu. At least say it is 1 pound or anything. Coleslaw is awful, Raising Canes has better coleslaw. Wings are like cardboard. Pulled chicken …. More like pulled paper. Dry as hell. Look at the picture. Brisket, not even tender and hot. It is cold. I don’t understand why people like this place so much. Is it the vibe? Or the food? I don’t think its the food. I wish I never come here and spend my money to eat cardboards and papers. Disappointing.

I ordered the fish basket with hush puppies and coleslaw, along with a half-pound of Polish kielbasa sausage. Unfortunately, the fish had no flavor, was very bland, and the portion was extremely small. I was also surprised to find that the fish came as little bitty nuggets — had I known that, I would have chosen something more filling. The hush puppies we're cold and the very center was a Touch under cooked. The Polish kielbasa was good and is the only thing keeping this from being a one-star review. On a positive note, the waitress who took my order was very polite and helpful. This whole meal cost $22. Not worth it for Slaw & Sausage.

Was incredible! Got the meal for 2 & it was plenty plus some for left overs. Came with 2 sides & soup or salad bar. The fried green beans amazing. Smoked turkey melted in your mouth. Brisket perfect smoke ring & tender. Pulled pork delicious & perfect bark. Ribs fall off the bone. There BBQ sauce was thick, rich, perfect balance of tang. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Best hush puppies and fish I’ve ever eaten. Great seasoning. Tacos were great!

★★★★★ 5.0 John J · Nov 2025

Food was incredible, we ordered the bbq sampler for two. The bbq sauce was especially delicious. Our waitress was very kind and we could tell they were an hard worker with they way they quickly walked with purpose and expertly held the drinks and plates. We are Australians traveling through so it's unlikely we would be returning but we would be highly recommending this place to our friends on their travels. Thank you very much! :D
