★★★★★ 5.0 Alexis Dennis · Feb 2026

We hosted my mom’s birthday party here and I truly cannot say enough good things about this venue and team. From the very beginning, they made planning so easy from coordinating timing, catering, and all the details was completely stress-free. The day of the party, they went above and beyond. They were so attentive, helped with decorations, and made sure everything ran smoothly all night. The food was incredible, and the space itself is absolutely stunning. It created the perfect atmosphere for such a special celebration. I’m so grateful for their help in making the night unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!

For being up north and away from where BBQ is more popular, this is a shining star. The venue is upstairs above shops on the main street giving it a more casual and impromptu feel. I visited on a random Tuesday evening during Jan (the day before this review) while solo on a work trip and had the, "Make your won bowl." I opted for the brisket on top of mac/cheese, with a side of cowboy caviar, and chips. Sat at the bar. This was recommended to me by someone else who was sitting at the bar when I asked the bar tender what they would recommend as I had never visited before. The person was right. The brisket was pull apart tender, juicy, and a good slice with just a little fat layer. The mac and cheese was not overly cheesy and flavored well. It did not taste like it came from a box. The cow

I have been here twice in 8 days. Servers are great, fun location and atmosphere. Unfortunately most of the food didn't impress me. First visit we had the tater barrels as an appetizer, they are the best item I've had here, very good. I ordered burnt ends for my entree, they weren't what I was expecting out of traditional burnt ends both visually and taste . Seemed more like steak tips or bites. Wasn't a fan. My wife did like her pulled pork bowl Just want to say this is my opinion and may not represent others views. Second visit was with my 2 year old. Want to try something else in hopes of finding something better. Had the tater barrels again because they are good. Ordered the brisket this time. Again, pretty disappointed. To me good brisket should almost melt in your mouth and have go

★★★★★ 5.0 Bill Yonke · Dec 2025

I gotta say this place has the best Bbq this side of Kansas. The food is so scrumptious and the doneness is spot on without a doubt! From the amount of smoke flavor to the seasonings of the finished product there isn't nothing left out. You can see and taste the amount of pride these people take in their food and it goes to show and it only gets better. Their mouth watering food isn't the only thing they got going on here the drinks are well made along with the cleanliness of the restaurant itself. You must try the Ribs as well as any other item and don’t forget to get a drink with Huckleberry in it and you will soon see what I’m talking about but don’t forget to try their moist delicious desserts as well. Allot of hard work is put into making everyone feel right at home and it makes it an

★★★★★ 5.0 Jason Dennis · Feb 2026

We had my wife's surprise birthday party here. They have a huge party room separate from the restaurant. We had Mac and cheese and potato bar. It also came with pulled pork and burnt ends. Also added cornbread and cowboy caviar and tortilla chips. Food was great. Staff was great. They let us in early to decorate. We had about 75 people there for the party. We got a lot of great comments about how nice the room was and how much they liked the food. We are very happy with how everything turned out. I definitely recommend them for parties and special events. Thank you Jason Dennis
