Overall I wouldn’t give more than a 3 star experience. The platter was okay. The meat was mostly tender but the sides were almost laughable in a container slightly bigger than what the sauce came in. For 28$ it is absolutely not worth it for how little meat and sides there are. The Mac and cheese is okay at best, doesn’t taste baked at all, and the beans were either under cooked, or al dente. Either way not appetizing. The sauces were pretty decent for not being that spicy, but if you like spice the ghost pepper is the only one you get a big spice kick from, but it tastes like it’s made with jelly which ruins the meat flavor. The cornbread is pretty good and the half chicken for 14$ was surprisingly good. Not sure if it was because we got the platter, but it’s shown larger sides for other people here in their reviews, but for 28$ I would hope we would be granted a larger side for the price.
There was also a staple in my for which I do not believe to be their fault, but it was interesting to say the least.
The servers were all kind and nice though.
Overall, probably won’t recommend or come back, I would rather drive to big pine for copper top or find something else.
Unfortunately disappointing experience for 100$.

Unfortunately ended up here because many other places were closed on Monday. Let me start by saying the service was friendly food was fast. Got a combo plate with ribs, brisket and chicken (dark meat). It was only 6:00 but everything was way overcooked. The ribs had such a hard crust on one side it was inedible and the chicken was very dry. Everything needed sauce but all the sauces are sweet. Side salad was literally a bowl of lettuce with 3 cucumber slices and the baked potato was super dry as well. I love potato skin but not this one. I would not eat here again. Too many other places in town. I would have taken a picture but we were with friends.

BBQ decent, has indoor seating. Had tri-tip with sides, sides decent tri-tip did not have loads of flavor, BBQ sauce was good. Employees appear to treat customers different, with our 5 party group up next to order I was not allowed to sit down until we had a ticket, that was ok for a different group after us - same employee both times. Cashier lovely with customers in front of us, a family, then offput with us, seems because we were not ordering swiftly enough.

Ordered the sample platter for takeout really small portions, I offered to pay for corn bread , I was told it comes with the platter , however I did not receive any cornbread and it was takeout so I was driving and on the road when I realized. No napkins was given , just felt so messy

The second my party walked in the mood of the hostess became sour. They were every impatient while we were ordering and demanding tip almost immediately which left a bad taste in my mouth. The food was bland with no seasoning at all but at least it was easy to go down.

In my travels across America finding small town BBQ is something I enjoy. The regional styles are always interesting. Do yourself a great favor, ignore the whiny picky folks that always seem to look for reasons to review with unkind thoughts. This place rocks! Excellent BBQ with delicious sides and great service. It’s a 300 mile round trip for me, one that I will do many times over.

All in all, pretty tasty BBQ. Parking is available on the side and behind the restaurant, but it is somewhat limited...maybe 10-12 spaces, and it can be tight exiting so large vehicles may want to park on the street. I visited on a Friday early evening after skiing at mammoth. The crowd was near 100% out of town folks such as myself with what appeared to be 3-4 regulars trickling in while I was there. I had the chopped brisket sandwich, side of coleslaw and a beer, and cost was about $25. The sandwich is $20 after taxes. The meat was tender and flavorful, but I would have liked for more of a smoke flavor to pull through the meat, and perhaps next time I'll try the tri-tip. The tables are community style sit where you can find a seat, the wait staff is pretty prompt and busing tables, and each table has paper towels, salt, pepper and 4 BBQ sauces for self use.

I’m Brazilian, and this was the first place where I ever tried mac & cheese, what a treat! So flavorful, creamy, and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice. The potato salad… wow, I wouldn’t change a thing, absolutely delicious. The steak was incredibly tender, literally melting, and the pork was just as amazing. The beers were great too. Such a pleasant surprise, this place is truly delicious!
Excellent BBQ! Quick service. The beans and mac and cheese are excellent.

We were a big party (8 to be exact). We placed our order and had a seat at the table. Five minutes later the owner approached us. She told us we were a big party and this place was not McDonalds. She did say we were going to like her food however what was so unnecessary was the following comment she made that we had to tip. We are very grateful and hard working people that appreciate good service. We always tip very generously before we leave any restaurant without the need to be reminded. She walked away from our table leaving us stunned. I left the restaurant with a bad impression of this place and the owner. As good as the food was I will not be coming back. She said this wasn't McDonalds but her behavior and education doesn't compare to a McDonalds employee. I get better service there.

Got the sampler of Tri-tip, Pulled Pork, and Chicken. Everything is dry (see plenty of other comments) needs to be covered in barbecue sauce to be palatable.
