Never been to this cute little place that smells like heaven once you step foot in the door- until today. It’s tucked away in downtown Sheffield. Today I went there to pick up a food box for a friend. We need more ppl like the owners of this business in this world and they deserve recognition! If you’re ever in the area please consider supporting them! They gave my friend who’s affected by the recent SNAP situation enough food for the entire family to eat dinner- no charge, no questions asked! They said they had received 200 applications for help at this point and just want to help. Thank goodness for good ppl! ❤️

Disappointed to pay big money for mediocre bbq. Since when do you get takeout bbq brisquit sandwiches that are cold? What a bummer to find out when we took our sandwiches to a nearby park.
Brisquit was chopped, would have been decent if they were served hot.
That was my expectation. Sad unsatisfying lunch. No place to dine in so they need to serve hot bbq!

If you’re looking for simplicity when it comes to smoked meats look no further. The brisket melts in your mouth. The ribs are phenomenal and everything else is right on par. You get what you pay for and it’s hard to beat the quality they provide.

Hidden gem in Sheffield! Brown sugar bacon burnt ends are some of the best things I've ever had. Real love for the craft of BBQ and creativity shine through here. Fun fact, the chairs and tables are handbuilt by the owner!

I really wanted to like this place, but it just didn’t work for me. The customer flow from order to pickup was just weird, the pork sandwich was disappointing. It was overly salty, the bun was cold, and the meat wasn’t warm. The loaded potato salad also missed the mark and probably needs to come off the menu. Maybe they had an off day but I won’t be back.

First time visiting and I don't have a single complaint. We ordered oxtail, bacon burnt ends, brisket and much more and it was all sooo good! This will definitely be a regular lunch spot for us.

1st time to go and I swear this was the best BBQ we have had. I had the burnt ends and brisket with cheesy potatoes and macaroni. She had ribs and brisket with baked beans and macaroni. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be going back. Oh and I hope my mom doesn't see this but the best banana pudding.

I got the 1 meat plate and 2 sides. It was great. The brisket was super tender you could pull it apart with your fork. I also got the bbq baked beans which were super rich and full of flavor. The potato salad was good but not a lot of depth to the flavor profile kinda just tasted like potato and mayo. But hey great overall and would recommend it to friends for sure. Can’t wait to be back.

Got this for dinner last night and we were so impressed! Everything we got was so delicious! The brisket was our favorite. All the sides were so good. Sad the burnt ends were sold out so we will be back asap to try those! The young girls working up front were so friendly. Everyone support this small business, you won’t be disappointed!!
