We were really looking forward to some good BBQ and decided to give this place one more try since it’s close and last visit was sub-par. We spent about $60 total for sliced brisket, a few burnt ends, three wings, a half rack of ribs, BBQ sauce, beans, cornbread, and an apple bake. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to expectations. The brisket was tough, very dry, pale, and seemed like it had been sitting for a while, possibly under a heat lamp.

The back area has a fire station hall kind of vibe…nothing fancy, but comfortable enough to sit, eat, and watch the game. I ordered smoked wings with their homemade signature sauce mixed with garlic parm and added some of their dry rub. They were amazing! The mac and cheese was delicious too, especially when mixed with that signature sauce. My husband ordered smoked wings with just garlic parm and said they were fantastic. My toddler got the kid fritters with mac and che
By far , the best barbecue in Pennsylvania - my son and I actually believe it’s the best barbecue outside of Memphis. Friendly owner, amazing sides , amazing a prime rib and brisket sandwiches! Very informal atmosphere. Accommodate celiac allergy.
