I got the Loaded Mess Friday special with pulled pork and all the fixings and it was delicious. The bbq sauces were also very good. A must stop if you’re in Muscatine. I’ll definitely be back to try other stuff

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jim Carr · Oct 2025

Layout and traffic pattern is confusing. Food was very good, prices were high but portion size for the price was very good. Plan on $20 pretty person. Menu is available online. $5.50 for large soft drink. Restroom is on another floor. Outdoor patio seating is available if weather permits

Damn! This place is in Muscatine?!! Smells so good when you walk in & tastes even better. We had ribs, brisket, burnt ends & pulled pork. All good but the ribs & brisket were our favorites. The sides were delicious too. Potato salad & crispy Brussel sprouts! We can't wait to go back.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Pixgeek Droneography (Pixgeek) · Apr 2025

I had the pulled pork and hubby had the ribs. The meat was cooked great and we loved that. Tender and good. Mac and cheese was not very cheesy, liked the noodles. The sauces were either too sweet and the tangy was too mustardy. Did not try the spicy. The tea was too watery and weak. The serving sizes were huge and good sizes. The customer service was exceptional and they were super friendly and had excellent service, there are beautiful river views. The atmosphere was great and we were able to take the food into the bar and the access to the bar next door. For the price I felt it was way more expensive than what we normally pay at a bbq. 3/5
