Table of 4 - We ordered an order of onion rings as an appetizer to share which was served promptly but all on one paper plate. That was the only food item that was served quickly and hot. After a long wait, the rest of our meal was finally served Two of us had pulled pork sandwich with fries and sweet potato fries. Sweet potato fries were very nearly burned but at the same time, just a tad above room temperature. All of our food had been forgotten I guess as everyone’s order was on the verge of cold. The pulled pork sandwich was dry and wasn’t salvageable even after I drenched it with barbecue sauce, To me the meat tasted like it came straight out of a plastic bag and was reheated then left on a warmer too long. VERY dry. Parts of the meat (probably half?) was super dry to the point of b

I've been here a few times in the past couple months. the food is really good and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. We've had the smoked steak and cheese which is super yummy also have had the brisket quesadilla and definitely will be back for one more before they close till the spring. my husband loves the smoked teriyaki chicken wings and then I've had salad with brisket there before and that's good as well. I love that they have some unique things you can't find anywhere else with the Smoked Meats, where most smoked food places just have like meats and sides, here you can get a smoked meat burrito (i haven't tried that one yet but that's the next thing I want to try) the smoked quesadilla the smoked steak and cheese and the smoked wings which they have daily other places

We had an awesome experience here. My husband and I shared a meal and said just cut the grinder in half but they also served it to us with two plates with fries. That was above and beyond our expectations. The fat boy grinder was delicious and the fried mushrooms my favorite. The $3 with a meal deal strawberry shakes were great and I liked the big straws since they were thick and easier to drink than with a thin straw. We would definitely go here again! Even though we shared the meal we still had to take a little bit home. I do agree it was a bit dry but add the multiple sauce choices and you are good to go. As a suggestion a garlic olive oil sauce would make for a nice spritz to wet down the meat offered with other sauce choices.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jessica Shattuck · May 2024

Visited this BBQ place since I was just driving by. Walked in and ordered at the counter then chose to sit outside at the picnic tables. It was outside with a cornhole game, lots of tables, and a nice grassy area. I ordered the pulled pork plate with Mac and cheese. My significant other order the two meat plate with smoked chicken and brisket along with onion rings. To be completely honest, the meat was all dry. It wasn’t too bad with the BBQ sauce. The cornbread that came with it was also pretty dry. The Mac and cheese was good and the onion rings were average. The two meat plate also came with a piece of garlic bread which was also average. The smoked chicken came on the bone which was unexpected and was more pink than I would have liked. Overall the atmosphere was good. Service wise, we

Very disappointed in customer service today. We ordered 2 lbs of beef brisket takeout. We were given pulled pork labeled as brisket. Called and spoke with manager who told me there was no way it was wrong bc he had filled the order himself. He suggested we could drive back there with it. I offered to send a pic, which he declined to do. We were previously big fans and recommended to others, but are now leaning away from dining ordering from here again.
