Food is expensive , nasty and don't even smell like barbecue. My barbecue was full of fat and chewy and what topped it all off was I found a hair in the sandwich.I took 1 bite of a almost 8 dollar sandwich. I also waited 35 min for a small barbecue in drive with only 2 cars in front of me. I would have left but they charge you at the first window. They need to be closed down.

found this place using my waze app , went to another place and waited for someone to ask me for my drink order and take my order , and it only had a couple folks already eating. nothing. after about 10-15 minutes I left , looking for another place. saw merrill's on the list , and glad I did . unfortunately they were out of ribs but a local customer said they had great hamburgers. so I tried one and he was correct. not saying it was the best , but was really close. Will stop again when I'm in the area and looking forward to trying their ribs 😋

Having my order taken was no hassle, neither was waiting the 20 minutes inside their screened in eating area with enough body odor to choke out a city dump employee. No, but what was was the fact that after having to wait 20 minutes for my order, and driving back to my house, just to sit down and attempt to eat fries that taste like they were cooked in grease that hasn't been properly filtered or changed since June, and my burger that I asked for extra pickles with was in pieces with extra onion (because that's what extra pickles translates to) and the patty had been barley pressed flat. It was literally a clump of meat on a bun. For the past couple of seasons their quality has dramatically dropped, and with this type of service it's going to keep dropping. I'd rather drive all the way to Glencoe and eat at the Big Chief (which is actually what I should've done) where service and quality match per stride, and my money goes further.

Quaint little restaurant. Kind of out of the way but very popular.
We haven’t found anything on the menu that wasn’t excellent.
Stuffed baked potatoes, BBQ, chicken fingers.
The BBQ salad is a great choice.
My favorite is the cheese burger and fries.
I’m a picky eater and I have tried e dry item listed above and would recommend every one.
The staff is always friendly and the service is exceptional.

$3.95 % culinary fee. Shove it.
Stopped to ask a very sweet lady who works there for directions and later drove clear across town to return there and eat dinner. Best decision we've made lately. Great food, great service.
