5 Thumbs BBQ is a casual eatery serving delicious BBQ. The passionate staff is dedicated to their craft, evident in their tender and flavorful dishes. The burnt brisket ends are a standout, paired with a side of mac. The pork sandwich is also a winner. While the chicken was sold out during a visit, the restaurant's commitment to quality is clear. The place is located in a small house with a sign near the road that says "Decks & Docks" with a duck on it, and 5 Thumbs' sign is on the house in front of Decks & Docks. The restaurant offers a variety of meats and sides, with some reviews praising the tenderness and juiciness of the meat and flavorful sides like mac n cheese and smoked cheesy potatoes. The BBQ sauce is vinegar-based and a bit runny, and some find the mac n cheese to taste like Kraft powder with evaporated milk, but overall, the food is satisfying. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the prices are reasonable, making 5 Thumbs BBQ a popular spot for both dine-in and catering. Limited parking is available, but the quality and service make it worth a visit.
