Giant smoker going out front which is a good sign right off the bar. Paved parking lot which is good for motorcycle parking.
Our server was great. We had 12 people in our group and he was on the ball.
People had good things to say about the ribs and the brisket sandwich. I had the pulled pork which was a very good portion size.
I would go again for sure.

Found this place on the way to Galena. Best ribs I've had in a long time. Perfectly smoked and meaty without being greasy. Couple with us had a smoked chicken which they also enjoyed. Have to return to try the brisket. Only negative is no liquor license. Would have loved a beer with the meal
Totally amazing food! The staff is extremely friendly. I drove a hr to try this place and I so definitely will be back! I highly recommend!

Eager Beaver BBQ is a welcoming restaurant known for its large smoker visible at the front, indicating quality smoked meats. The paved parking lot makes it easy for motorcycle and car parking. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing good service whether in the dining room or outside under a canopy surrounded by flowers.
The menu features popular items like ribs, brisket, and pulled pork, which many guests find flavorful, meaty, and not greasy. The brisket and ribs are highly praised, with some visitors mentioning the BBQ sauce as particularly good. Side dishes include fries, kettle chips, baked beans, and cornbread, though some find the baked beans plain and the cornbread a bit dry. Portions are generally generous, with some guests noting the meat portions are satisfying for the price.
While the food receives praise, some mention that the baked beans could be more flavorful, and the cornbread could be moister. A notable point is that the restaurant does not serve alcohol, despite having beer signs outside. Overall, Eager Beaver BBQ is appreciated for its good smoked meats, friendly atmosphere, and outdoor seating, making it a popular stop for those in the area.
