I had 8 wing basket with mild sauce.The wings were dry and barely came off the bone. The mild sauce was HOT! RUNNY NOSE HOT! My husband had the Bobby Ds Stack. Made with burnt ends... they must have been yesterdays along with the wings because it was dry and hard to eat. We haven't been in this restaurant for a couple years, which then it was pretty good BBQ. Well it will probaly be longer than a couple years before we go back in there to eat. The waitress was freindly.

Surprise find in Emporia, it was worth the stop. Why wait for 45 minutes a crossover the street when you an walk right in and get a great meal?

Very friendly welcome on phone that I placed a 4lb to go order of brisket to take back to PA where I’m from. Very friendly at restaurant when I went to pick up and they found me 2 other bottles of their own mild bbq sauce that was very nice of them. Top notch service
Brisket was just ok tho. Nothing special. Didn’t have a smoke taste at all and I believe it was left overs maybe from a day or two ago as most of the meat didn’t have any juice to it at all. Some was downright dry.
Would not go back. Best of luck with your endeavors

The three nimrods met up with another old friend from grade school here for lunch. This restaurant was easy to find and conveniently located half way between Kansas City Missouri and Wichita Kansas. A cozy and welcoming place with a comfortable atmosphere and super friendly staff. Our waitress , Daisy made us feel like regulars and provided us with a pleasant experience from start to finish. The brisket was really good, tasty and moist. Nimrod #1 had burnt ends on his mixed plate and reported them to be mostly fat and not very good but enjoyed the sausage. Everyone enjoyed the fries but agreed that the sauce and beans were just average. And the BBQ journey continues......

Food was great. We had about 10 in our group right at 445. Poor girl was trying her best yet no one came out to help her run the register, get drinks and take orders. Finally when leaving someone showed up. There was plenty of people in the kitchen that could have done something to help. Otherwise...definitely worth stopping and grabbing some bbq.

Brisket looked dry and rubbery. ribs were extremely dry, needed Bbq sauce for moisture
Ordered peach cobbler that was only a 2 x 2 square size, the ice cream towered over entire dessert. No crust, tasted like cheap bisquck recipe. The ice cream wasn’t a regular scoop, they dumped it from a pre packaged container.
This restaurant doesn’t warrant a 4.5 rating!
