Down home BBQ place with inside and outside seating. The food was very good! I had a sampler plate that came out piping hot and quickly. My wife had a beer and ribs, all the food was very good. The service was professional and friendly. They had a three piece band that playing country music, loats of fun but not so loud that you could not have a conversation. All in all a very good place to eat and a great value after a day of hiking and driving. I would recommend it to everyone!

The best ribs I’ve ever eaten and I love it: they come cooked in a smother, without fat, just add a sweet and/or hot sauce. Special mention to cowboys beans a killing!! Even Apple dessert pie with a little cinnamon and its ice cream scoop is great! It takes $30-40 per person all inclusive to enjoy the country concert

The BBQ was absolutely delicious. We got the Sampler Platter, all the meats were delicious. The meats that came on the platter were, beef brisket, pulled pork, baby back ribs and sausage, all fantastic. I loved the beans and potato salad, but my Husband said the cole slaw was awful. Fantastic service and cute atmosphere, and clean .We will most definitely go back when we come back to Page!!

They have gluten free options like the smoked meats. The atmosphere is very nice especially in the evening with the live music. Food portions are big and the meat is delicious. Definitely recommend.

This place is all about the atmosphere and not much about food. We went here on a Monday night and there was a line to get seated outside. We were told that patio seating always has a line, but indoor seating isn't busy. Patio seating is communal seating - picnic tables, parties all seated together, paper plates and utensils, plastic table covers, etc. There was a band playing live music (Cowboys and Indians, who get whole separate star to themselves because they kept me here for the 1 hour that we sat there) and smells of bbq-ed meat from the outside grill add to the charm. But it is really all smoke and mirrors because the food is, at best, average. We didn't like it. We love Texas BBQ so we came here with high hopes, which didn't pan out. I think this restaurant manages to keep going because they are the only restaurant in a tourist town and most people either haven't had good BBQ or eat here once, get swept in the atmosphere, and leave thinking the food was good. For the prices, the quantity of the food isn't that much either. Service is quick and succinct, which is our preference. They have parking spots but it tends to be crowded, so good luck with looking for parking.

We ordered the beef brisket sandwich with cowboy beans and potato salad and the sausage link with bun and cowboy beans and coleslaw. I don't know if anything other the meat is made in house. I didn't like the buns, so I mostly had the meat. The beef brisket was so dry that it needed the BBQ sauces on the table to help us chew and swallow it. It was also presented in a pulled brisket style, rather than slices. They might have chosen a lean type of brisket or smoked it too much, but this brisket was not good. Briskets are one of my favorite bbq-ed things to have and this one was not up to mark. The sausage link was average. Compared to the brisket, it was a lot better, so we were able to finish it. The cowboy beans had a homemade feel to them. They also same brisket added, but it was softer thanks to be cooked in the gravy. The potato salad was decent and the coleslaw was average. The party next to us ordered the platter, which had the brisket, sausage and ribs and ended up eating like 10% of their food, so we were not the only ones who didn't like the food.

Reviews talk about good ribs. My husband and I are not fans of ribs so we didn't taste those. However, if you call yourself a BBQ restaurant, you should have good overall BBQ, not just good ribs. We didn't have dessert because we didn't want to have more average food.

All in all, this was a disappointing food experience, especially given the ratings and number of reviews they have. There are better places to check out in Page. If you want to try Texas BBQ for the first time, please don't make this your first experience.

Don’t be fooled by the incredible smell from the smokers outside. As a former Texas resident, this was nothing like real, quality Texas BBQ. The brisket was super dry and overcooked. Pulled pork was serviceable. Ribs had no flavor and the sausage link was probably the best part, which is a problem at a BBQ joint.

The vibes here are great and the staff is very friendly and incredibly attentive. My assumption is that there’s an issue in how the meat is stored after it’s cooked causing the issues in quality.

If this is your first introduction to American BBQ, don’t let this be your only experience. Go to a real BBQ city for the authentic experience.
