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!

Very friendly down to earth people, and the bbq is DELICIOUS! I had rib tips dry and the flavor was melt in your mouth good. Don't waste your money at the chain bbq places, come get some good quality food at a great price.

Was traveling through the area and found this amazing bbq joint. The guys were great and the food was amazing. If you are in the Waterloo area I highly recommend swinging in. It doesn’t look like much, but those are usually the best spots! The rib tips were amazing and the bake beans were sweet with a little bit of heat, and hit the spot.

Pick up a Door Dash order for a customer, and was given a sample of the rib tips. Let's just say I'm a repeat customer, and spreading the word...

Some of the best barbecue I’ve ever had. I am a delivery driver that traveled through multiple different states and I would definitely want to come back to this area just to get the barbecue it is the best I’ve ever had in the sides and service.

Rude front counter person! She had to come in from outside hanging in her boyfriend's car. Didn't let my husband ask any questions about the menu. Never been here before so we had questions. Decided to leave so no food review. Will give them another shot as long as the same counter person is not there.

Great food you can smell the smoke as soon as you walk up. They always are friendly and provide great customer service.

I came here to pick up an order, and the worker there asked me if I have tried their food before and gave me a whole box of samplers! He was superrrrr nice and friendly. Really fun to talk to. (Food was soooo good and had a lot of taste in there)
