I had dinner there tonight and the pulled pork sandwich and the deep fried potato salad was awesome…?Fresh and hot food,nice atmosphere and we had a wonderful waitress Missy.I would definitely give them 5 ⭐️stars and will definitely be back sometime.?

Went to lunch with my husband while waiting to purchase a Jeep at Kunes in Sterling which was close. We walked in exactly at 11am when they opened and the doors were unlocked I was so surprised and happy. Walking in we were immediately welcomed and sat at the bar. The bartender walked up smiling, gave us menus and conversed with my husband.We ordered brisket nachos for an appetizer. I just wanted a chicken Caesar salad and my husband had the meat platter. Since we were there before 4pm the ribs weren’t ready which we completely understand so he asked for extra brisket.The bartender checked on us often which was great but made me want to order and try more food. Our bill came to $94 which wasn’t bad for us and we had food for later. If we are ever in that area again we will definitely be back.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and feel of this place! Food was also fabulous! We will be back! I think that's the best compliment one can give!

I'm giving this 3 stars because the fried potato salad is impressive other than that the meat doesn't really taste naturally smoked it tastes like they use liquid smoke flavoring. This is coming from someone who smokes alot of meat. Service was slow but it was very busy. I do think the prices are kinda high for what you get.

Brisket was absolutely delicious! The eggroll appetizer and homemade chips were great and the pulled pork sandwich was very good. The inside was warm and clean. Our server Ryan was really attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I dont want to to leave a bad review of this place because the food is great and the service is always great as well, but last night I ordered out a $30+ sample platter with two sides and when I got home I couldn't believe the size of the two sides! The platter was meant to feed my two sons and I and the sides were barely a single serving. Disappointed in that because we traveled 30 minutes to come and I know the portion sizes are larger eating in the restaurant. So maybe just avoid the carry out.

Atmosphere was nice. Food came out mildly warm and feel as though it was overpriced for the quality. Server was very nice and outgoing though.

Been about 4 or 5 years since we last ate here. Food was just as good as first visit.Got the "Dinner for 2" which was a nice selection of the smoked meats they serve: pulled pork, brisket, ribs, and smoked sausage. Also got the poutine for an appetizer. Needless to say, leftovers were brought home.The brisket was nice and juicy. The ribs were almost perfect (and probably the best thing I ate from the plate). The smoked sausage was delicious. The pulled pork was good but not overly excited about it.The poutine was on point. Great dish of crispy potatoes with cheese curds and the gravy was delicious.Overall, nice date night meal.

My sister and I got the dinner for 2 sampler for my birthday dinner and it was amazing! Definitely get the carrots and the black beans.

Came here for lunch on a Friday. The place is really nice on the inside. Very modern and clean and fun. Had the pulled pork sandwich with chips, coleslaw, and a pickle and it was very good. They have a really good bbq sauce also. Laura/Lora was our server and she was very friendly and attentive.
