Very good, but I probably won’t do lunch there again because the side dishes were pathetic in these little cups. Maybe they give you bigger portions when you sit down to eat, but if you get it to go, it was embarrassing, How small the portions were.

The absolutely best sides all made by the servers aunt. The baked beans carried that "grandma's secret recipe" flavor that you can almost taste the homemade smoked pork belly bacon and molasses as it was in childhood, the potato salad, perfectly creamy, melt in your mouth feel chased down with her home garden canned green beans. The homemade Mac n cheese rivals Michelin rated fare. When I requested butter for the homemade cornbread, the server produced it, but then challenged it wasn't necessary...I cannot say she was wrong. It was really a surprise to find such out of the park offerings in the unassuming little corner bbq joint. I have sampled bbq fare from just about every bbq famous restaurant city and state in the US. Smoque, or Carson's in Chicago, Bo's rib shack in Harvey IL, Jerk in Markham IL, Legends on State St, Kansas City BBQ icon Famous Dave's, Dallas famous stockyards Burnt Ends, Memphis homemade smoked bologna, North and South Carolina fare, even off the map offerings from the west coast. I have to put this meal in my top 5 just on the sides alone. Today's lunch was slightly hampered by the unavailability of my personal favorite, beef brisket. Nonetheless I persevered, and settled on tips and hot link. I was served up an appropriately sized basket of tender smoked rib tips generously accented with their in house sauce, and a slightly smaller than I am accustomed to hot link similarly dressed on white bread. (Think home size-sampler plate) With two generous sized sides. A perfectly portioned lunch serving and the loving touch taste is free with purchase. My dining partner had the pulled pork sandwich with green beans and potato salad. Don't miss this sandwich! Perfectly prepared tender and juicy, smoked to perfection pork picnic also drizzled with the in house sauce. If I were to make any drawback suggestions, the lack of any alternative sauces would probably be it. Sometimes bbq isn't BBQ for some if they don't have their preferred bend of sauce. (See Carolina mustard, KC sweet n tangy, or St Louis rich n zesty. Dallas brown sugar base/citrus for glazing etc.) Any way it goes, if you are in Dune's National Lakeshore and want to temper an appetite for BBQ, Try this place. What a grand surprise.

Best BBQ hands down!!!!! I will definitely be coming back!!!!!
Kid-friendliness: I got to see the cutest little boy!! He was doing Micheal Jackson moves and had to be only 5!!! Definitely adorable ?
Amazing customer service, amazing food! I ordered chicken tips, sweet potato and greens for take-out on GrubHub. They corrected my order right away and the food was incredibly good. Highly recommend.
My family and I stopped here on our last night in town, and loved it! Sad we didn't try it sooner so we could go there twice. Everyone was so welcoming, and the food was AWESOME!

Must try if you are in the area. The food is cooked with love and care. I am vegan and they don't have vegan options on the menu, but they went ahead and adjusted and created some off menu items for me in order to eat. Which was way more than I ever expect.
I ended up getting a flat bread pizza, with vegan cheese they had for something else in the past. It came out just a little crispy which is how I like my pizza so I was very happy. It was really really good and you can tell in the way it taste that the meal was made with intention and care. I can't wait to try some of the other options she said they have for me.
Again 100% try it out.
