Cool place to hang out with great food and ice cold beer! All the sauces are so good! Great warmer weather hang out! Lots of outdoor/ open air seating.

I got brisket, pulled pork, and a quarter slab of ribs. The bark on the brisket was delicious but the brisket was dry. The ribs had a beautiful smoke ring but they may have been sitting out for a little bit because they were a little dry. The pulled was excellent. Very juicy and had a really good flavor. I loved the baked beans. The apples were a little too sour for my liking. I think some brown sugar on the apples would have made them so much better. I also got the barbecue potato. That was 10/10. It was delicious.

Food was decent. Nothing spectacular, but decent nonetheless. Have been here several times since I work in the area. I don't go too often, because, in my opinion, it's somewhat expensive as a lunch option considering the amount of food you get. However, on a recent visit, I would say that this place needs to be cleaned. They used to have squeeze bottles of sauce on the tables, but recently (within the past few months) they switched to putting out glass, screw-top bottles. These are the same ones they sell in store, so probably a cost saving measure (??), but the set on my table was disgusting!! Think about eating ribs with your hands, then reaching for the sauce bottles with greasy hands, then dripping sauce down the sides, then once done, just loading all the greasy, sticky bottle in the holder for the next guy, etc, etc... that's what they were like. All the lids were greasy and all the bottles were a combination of greasy and sticky with old dripped sauce, etc. I guess it's fine if you want to the "glass bottle" route, but then you need to wipe down the bottles FREQUENTLY. Can't imagine that would be very popular when a health inspector would come through. I went for lunch and the edge of the table I sat at was sticky/tacky. Then, when I left, I noticed I had a stain on my shirt that was a straight line and the brownish color of BBQ where it had touched the edge of the table -- ok, that's gross and tells me they aren't wiping tables down very well between uses or even at the end of the day (I was there pretty early and doubt anyone had been at that table before me that day). So, the ribs were decent -- I've had better, and I've had worse, but think hard before dining-in unless they are going to actually clean this place up a bit.
Picked up a meal for my friend, he loves the ribs, garlic potatoes, corn bread. Definately a go to place for

So the brisket had good flavor, but was cold, as were the beans. Not another soul in the place at 6:00 pm Saturday. Ordered a black IPA at the bar and got an October Fest, but the bartender insisted it was right. I wont be back.

We stopped here for a BBQ dinner on our way thru town. Great food and quick service. You order at the counter and take your food to your seat. There are a lot of sides and they were great. The combo servings are large. The BBQ Chicken was tender and juicy. Overall a great experience!

Great BBQ joint! Brisket is tender and juicy. Pulled pork is amazing. I love the ribs as well. Wife and son really enjoy the Mac and cheese. Great atmosphere inside and out. The patio is awesome!

Some of the worst bbq I’ve ever had. The brisket was super dry and crumbling apart. It had zero flavor. The ribs had barely any meat on them and tasted like they were sitting out for hours. We stopped during a road trip and definitely will not return. The place looks like it has so much potential, but it was awful.
Food was great so hot in dining area though omg...really really need ac update !Parking: Plenty

This was some of the worst bbq I've ever had. The brisket was dry and literally crumbling apart. The ribs were super dry and barely had any meat on them. Both items had zero flavor, either smoke or rub. The salads tasted like they came from a package. The brisket was sitting on the counter. The owner did not seem to take any pride in his work. The women behind the counter was very nice. The place has a lot of potential, but the food is awful.

The food was so dry and didn't have much flavor other than the smoke flavor. The food seems to just be left out on the counter. I have eaten here a few different times and have had the same experience everytime. Not going back to learn the same lesson..

Best ribs my husband has ever had. Sides were ok.

KCSO (Kendall County Special Olympics) decided to go here for our lunch after the State games in Bloomington/Normal IL, and I liked it a lot! Good eats and a nice atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: They have a menu for KidsWheelchair accessibility: One of the rooms of the diner has a ramp to get in
