WORSE BBQ EVER!! SO OVER PRICED, I regret losing the money more than the 40 min wait in line. Sides were awful coleslaw had no taste broccoli salad was fowl. Pulled pork was dry and hot links burnt. BEST PART was the sauce pickles and young people working there!! Just

Food is really great! Don't get me wrong. Just getting extremely expensive. This place has become more of a treat. Now and then. Than an actual regular dining experience.

Walked in last night to an empty restaurant and 5 people at the bar. Asked the bartender if I should grab a table as there was nobody there to seat us. Literally sat there for 20 minutes without a single acknowledgement. The 2 bartenders were just standing there talking to eachother. Absolutely wild. Plus, a dog was laying in the restaurant floor. Pretty gross. I wouldn't recommend at all.

It was good. Better than a lot of the barbecue joints in the area. I had the brisket. It was a little on the dry side for my tastes but the rib tips were delicious.

The food is ok. The BBQ is actually well prepared but the issue is the sauce, or lack there of. They don’t have a decent regular sauce it’s all mustard sauce or fancy fruity sauce. Give me a good traditional sauce. If they could come with a good solid sauce I would go again. Tried this place many times but always have to eat the meat plain because they dont have a good sauce. Disappointing because it smell sooo good in downtown Plainfield from it.

Ordered food and they left out a burger…. Called back and was only offered a refund or to come back and get it…. It’s snowing and night time and an inch on the ground… I think more should have been offered for the inconvenience. Now a family member has to find something at our house.

Food isn't worth its cost in my opinion. Especially when they serve you burnt cornbread.

I go in here 2 times a month and spend $70-$100 for the food.

Great food, however this time the guy was cutting the rib tips off the ribs…. I tried to tell him not to 2 times and he just ignored me.
He was a newer guy and had no clue what he was doing.
Crazy to spend that much money and not get what you usually get or what you asked for.

Really disappointed as I’m a rib tip guy

Brisket was dry and not very flavorable or tender I should have opted for the beef ribs, elote corn was very good, my friend liked the pork ribs, string beans were bland, sauce was good.

I went to pickup an online order and they said my order was not in their system. They finally found my order and I received my food after 10 minutes of waiting. As I was picking up my order, they told me someone else picked up my original order. Meaning they do not confirm the name for their online orders. After I recieved my food, I noticed the packaging from the burnt ends seemed to be packaged on July 26th 2023 and the quality of the product seemed like it was microwaved. The fries were also stale and cold as if they were not fresh, as they assured me my order would be made fresh.

Ordered a brisket sandwich take out and was given nothing but fatty meat not even edible. Also no sauces in the bag, had to use my own bbq sauce. Nothing on the sandwich but bread and fat. Would not recommend

We ordered the smoked turkey breast for Thanksgiving. The turkey was moist and delicious. We will definitely do this again next year!

Michelle Koppitz

Always great pulled pork or brisket but chicken wings, Turkey and burger are also spectacular. The line can be intimidating when walking in but the staff is friendly and efficient - so it moves fast. Tiffany the bartender us also just lovely.
