“Best bbq I’ve ever had! Loved the pulled pork!“

“As a former military serviceman I walked in and immediately felt at home. This place pays tribute to servicemen and women like few others. The service was amazing, the gentleman behind the counter was one of the nicest I’ve come across. He was prompt and attentive and kept a smile on. I’m beyond impressed and would recommend to ANYONE that loves good BBQ at a fair price!“

“Ordered a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving and wow!! Picked up last night cold, followed instructions exactly using apple cider. So good! Customer service is 1000/10. When we picked the the bar, the bartender was so friendly and polite. He was the absolute sweetest, I wish I got his name cause he needs to be recognized for his extraordinary presence.“

“Really good food and services!!🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“I don’t even know where to begin but I’ll try. It was by chance they had available to cater my party, and let me tell you, there wasn’t one guest that wasn’t raving about any of the dishes. We had the three meat choice, the Mac and cheese, and the cornbread. The ribs- we’re literally falling off the bone. The sauce was amazing (you can tell the pride they have when they’re explaining how they make it…) The pulled pork- if you’re vegan, don’t try this. You’ll start eating meat again. The wings- I dont know if he marinated them with tears of milkmaids, but I started crying with the thought that I’ll eventually be too full to have anymore. Mac and cheese- you know it’s good when even the kids demolish it. Corn bread- who the heck makes cornbread so good, that the morning after the party, you can eat it with some coffee and it still be the perfect taste and texture?! This place is worth every penny and then some. I don’t leave reviews, but the food was sooooooo good, not only am I typing this, I’m doing it before lunchtime, the day after our event, with 70+ people and gallons of whiskey consumed.“

“Chicken was great! … ribs ok… portion were crazy small…. I get everything is expensive these days. But damn it’s really pricey and gotta pay extra for sides. The place isn’t what it used to be back ten years ago. It’s okay tho still good … and I will always support small local business.“
