Was looking for a local BBQ joint and stopped here on my way home from Quad Cities to Toledo. The owner, Chef Dominique, was working the counter and took my order of pulled pork mac & cheese. No fountain drinks but they have fresh lemonade and a cooler full of 20 oz bottled Pepsi products. I headed for the restroom (it was a road trip, after all) and my food arrived at my table a minute or two after I did. My food was absolutely delicious, the portion was generous, and the leftovers were even better as lunch the next day. I'll be back next time I'm in the area!

Absolutely delicious!!! I had the beef brisket sandwich with all the trimmings and I have to say it was the best brisket I ever had. Very tender and flavorful. Staff was very friendly! Already looking forward to my next visit.

Writing this in a blissful food coma and trying to find the words! The smoked beef brisket easily holds its own with the best Texas bbq. Flavorful, tender, not greasy. Lexington Bettyâs BBQ sauce enhances the experience without overpowering it. Mac and cheese was spot-onâbreadcrumbs and elegantly shaved scallion took it to the next level. Shoutout for not using plastic containers. Friendly and fast service. Donât put it off â get down here now!

THE RESTAURANT WAS Extremely CLEAN. Owner wasnât very nice That being said⊠time for the meat of this conversationâŠđ€Ș But the Quality of meat wasnât impressive for 100$ for lunch for 4 See attached photos When asked about it the Owner, Chef Dominique said â that how they areâ So now Moving forward⊠So the smoke ring was not existent on ribs and chicken The waters were $4.16 each ! Samâs Club waters! The fries were cold Seems Like a big advertising gig with not much real âsmokeâbehind it The videos that were playing were inappropriate for families âIndecent females in videos for my 11 year old son and daughter to comment on. This place is OVER RATED AND just not worth the prices or tolerating the riding behavior from an owner like we were beneath her⊠So to all my 250,000 + followers keep driving and please and find a more gracious location and donât get let down for the lack of flavor you would expect from a âSMOKEHOUSE

SOOOO GOOD!! Theyâve been doing pop ups at my job for a good minute now and always so fresh and good unfortunately it runs out soooo quickly due to it being a hot spot and the food aroma just lures us from our desks. Dominique and her mom is so kind and thatâs another factor that makes me a repeat customer. Please come back again guys! And maybe bring some slices of cake đđđœ

As a young pastor in the community, I make it a point to support and uplift local establishments, especially those owned and operated by members of our own community. When a new restaurant opened near my church, I was genuinely excited to patronize it. I had seen the pictures, read the reviews, and anticipated a wonderful experience â one that I could joyfully share with my congregation and fellow pastors. However, to my deep disappointment, the reality did not match the expectation. The food was uncomfortably dry, and the atmosphere was weighed down by discourtesy. The ownerâs demeanor was far from welcoming, and what should have been a pleasant meal turned into a disheartening encounter. What saddens me even more is that I am not alone in this experience. Iâve since come across other reviews describing similar treatment, and that truly breaks my heart. We consistently strive to support Black-owned businesses because we believe in the importance of community empowerment, economic growth, and shared success. Yet, it is painful when that same support is met with unkindness and disregard. My prayer is that the management and staff of this establishment will find it within their spirit to reflect, grow, and recommit themselves to excellence â both in the quality of their food and in the way they treat their patrons. Our community deserves better, and I believe that with humility, compassion, and care, redemption is always possible.
Owner was very standoffish not nice at all Food was a little old the greens was can greens. The experience was not good at all. Iâm good I take my money elsewhere.

Seems
