Just stopped to have some of the best BBQ in town. I don’t think they meant the town that they were in because it was far from good.. The brisket was horrible. It tasted like pot roast. No smoke flavor and it wasn’t warm. My friend got a pulled pork sandwich and it was cold and dry. My meal cost over $24. I got Brisket, collard greens and a sweet tea. This place really sucks and I’m saying that nicely my friend paid $18.95 for a pulled pork sandwich meal that was cold.

Starters we had cornbread it was delicious. We’ve been here many times at 4 o’clock. The band begins and it’s always a lot of fun..Their barbecue is probably the best in the area. The ribs are great they’re platters the samplers.I will make a note of one thing their coleslaw is creamy, but it has chunks of pineapple in it, which I’ve never had before it taste good it’s just different when you first tried it and I wasn’t aware it was there.

For the price it wasn't all that exceptional, and the rye bread was on the verge of being burnt. And it didn't seem all that busy.

Bbq is terrible. Had to go to the bar to order window outside was closed so walking through drunks. Undoubtedly if you think it’s good your taste buds must be mixed with beer.

This is an outside tiki hut atmosphere, no real walls. Very open, down side no ac when it gets hot that I could see.

No value here! They serve longbone bbq on the menu. Fancy name for spare ribs. 2 ribs for $19.00 where every other bbq restaurant is 6ish for $19.00. The sauce seemed flavorful but aftertaste was long and gives you the worst acid reflux ever! My friend got sliders with barely a bite of meat on any of them. The waitress Emily was extremely rude and snappy when I asked her if the bourbon was a two oz pour… she said she didn’t know and when I said “well just make sure my drink is 2oz” she went off on me instead of just saying ok if it’s not I’ll make it a double. Then when it was time to pay the bill she presented me with the machine and she selected herself a 20% tip… that was a first. Overall the atmosphere was awesome, but it has to be the worst value for food in town. There were a ton of people there for drinks and dancing and live band. Great spot for tiki - picnic - music and more. That part was great. If it’s a good meal for the money - this is not the place..

Great spot for some comfort food. The cornbread is amazing and I'm usually not a big fan of cornbread. The brisket sandwich was delicious but I wished there was a little more meat on it. All in all pretty awesome spot.

Loved it! First time there.After a long bike ride on the trail, we decided to go to Stottlemeyer‘s (in our athletic gear)for a late lunch. What a great choice! Felt right at home…First of all kudos for the margaritas. The house margarita is basically a skinny margarita. Delicious. Higher quality orange liquor. Good quality mix, Yum.I was craving ribs, and the baby backs did not disappoint ! collard greens are great too.My guy was feeling creative and ordered the slider special of the day. Three kinds of sliders, all delicious.?????? for the crowd. Lots of nice people around the bar where we ate.Guys just finishing work, young people, drinking those canned things lol , single women, couples, everyone was at home and friendly, which was awesome.No pressure to leave the bar, bartenders were friendly and efficient.Around 5 o’clock, families started coming for dinner. Love the multigenerational family friendly atmosphere. ?Kid-friendliness: Lots of picnic tables under the tiki bar. Lots of space for kids to move around.
