The tips were on point. They had a crispy exterior with a tender meat interior. The BBQ sauce brought it all together. Unfortunately they were already sold out on their ribs so I’ll have to go back for those

The thing about this BBQ is the sauce being unique in a great way. It's just, at 1st base, it's a little different. The combination of smoky and sweet is very memorable and if you're about to forget get ready for a burp that will remind you oh that BBQ sauce was amazing. I'm serious. We all burp after eating sometimes. Well there's that aftertaste and when you burp after eating 1st base, you say to yourself, oh yeah that barbeque sauce was really legit. I'm not playing around. If the food is hot and fresh here, you are going to be dining on something serious. So far all I've had are the rib tips and the wings. Let me tell you, that's enough to know that this is the best BBQ in the cedar valley.

Rodney and his family have a special way of making you feel like an old friend the moment you interact with them, and that warmth carries over into the food. The award-winning rib tips are exactly that: award-worthy. Every bite was packed with flavor and brought back the kind of comfort you only get from a home-cooked meal you grew up with. 1st Base Bar-B-Que is the real deal.

stopped by the food truck today for the first time. rib tips are awesome
Stopped in for the first time today and was pumped to find this place. Best ribs I’ve ever had and awesome beans and potatoe salad. Got a slab half sauced and half no sauce- you know ribs are fire when they don’t need sauce and they DONT NEED IT! Will def be back! Rodney you’re the man!
Best communication and service.. Food was epic to say the least!!
