The general manager is the waitress and bar tender-the buser-the other boy working doesn’t say hello-goodbye-oh and don’t sit at the bar you will smell the drains. The food took over 50 mins-1/10 for food, tiniest ribs ever-I asked Michelle about “why are these so small and dry,” her reply-that is what St. Louis ribs look like. 1 ½ inch bones- I am not a dink- Michelle you are running the place into the ground. Captain and diet-the pop was flat too. Come on you can’t even make a drink right.

Well-dry burnt, corn bread is cold with hard butter-ribs charred but dry. Cheesy potatoes and onion strings are the best-this is three day old meat 30 dollars for a combo platter-with frozen fried shrimp. 25 for ½ rack of dried ribs-made two days ago, highly disappointed. Will never come back-and to boot they sever me shit rib tips vs the 25 dollar ribs I wanted. Over priced not worth the money, clearly they have cheated out on everything. Go try strictly souther in Silvis 100% better and less money- give it a year this place will be done.

Took about 40 minutes to get food and everything was ice cold when it arrived. All meats appeared to have been cooked day before and rewarmed in skillet as crusty and dried out. Potatoes were so dry you had to wash them down with water. No drink refills. Overall horrible experience. Would definitely recommend driving on past and eating at Hardee's! Our group ordered 6 different meals and every one was as listed above.

First time here, so I had to try the brisket! Big mistake. I've never had tough brisket before! It looked like it was warmed up from yesterday's leftovers in a fry pan or something. I've never had a brisket without any fat at all! Service was great, but I don't go out to eat for the service. Brisket is like the gold standard for a BBQ joint. Do better! Special beans were mediocre at best.

A little pricey bit that seems to be everywhere. Good food and service. Kid friendly and handicap friendly

Forget everything you thought you knew about a classic Philly cheesesteak. This one features brisket so tender and flavorful, it'll ruin all other meats for you. Come for the brisket, stay for the incredible smells and cold drinks. Seriously, go grab some lunch or dinner!

Great decor inside & out! Very cool tables and chairs. Nice looking bar. So much to see. Got our food. DELICIOUS pulled pork and brisket sandwich called Beefy Pig and Parmesan and Garlic fries. My wife got a brisket sandwich. The fries were fantastic! Definitely going to go there again. Very friendly service as well.

We were there on the scenic drive and chose seats outside. We asked 2 different servers for menus which we got 30 min after we sat. Our drinks took another 15+ min to arrive then it seems our server took her own lunch break or something because we didn't see her again until we were trying to leave. The bartender brought us our food which was cold and tasted so bad we couldn't finish it. We asked for a manager but apparently she left to pick up her kid. The server then gave half our table a discount and expected the other half to pay full price. I spent $20 on a drink and meal and threw half of it in the garbage. We were there for 2 hours because the service was so bad when we had hoped to be in and out. We came last year too and the food and service was so much better. After this, we won't be back.

This used to be a good place to eat but it has declined since COVID. Went back there today for lunch. Ordered a hamburger and fries. The fries were air fryer fries. Yuck. I could if had those at home. This was a $20 meal. It was bad. Slow service as well. It took 45 minutes to order and get food. The meat in the nachos was burnt and it was small portion. That was also $20. Will not be going back.

Waited 1+ hour for our food order! People that were seated after us received their order before ours. We asked for take out due to time constraints.
