Stopped by today to try this gem. Great family owned business. Everything we ordered was excellent. If you are ever in the area stop by and try this BBQ.
Ribs were good.
Other meats ok-ish.
Sauce was kinda like a marinara not BBQ-y at all.
Not at all what we expected with the reviews.

Guy & Mae's Tavern is a well-known restaurant famous for its ribs and relaxed, rural atmosphere. Located on the main street with plenty of street parking, the tavern offers fall-off-the-bone ribs with a simple and tasty sauce, alongside great sides like bbq beans and spicy pickles. The building has a cool, old-fashioned vibe with beer-themed lights and interesting relics on the walls, adding to its retro charm. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming environment. Customers should remember that the restaurant accepts cash only, but there is an ATM available onsite. Known for its ribs, the tavern is a popular spot for travelers and locals alike. During busy times, customers are asked to preorder to enjoy their meal without delay. The place has been serving Americana-style food for many years, making it a great stop for those looking for hearty, comforting meals.
Recent reviews highlight the restaurant's long-standing reputation for outstanding barbecue, with some visitors calling it their favorite barbecue spot after trying many across the country. The turkey sandwich was a pleasant surprise, being tasty and moist, unlike the dry turkey often found elsewhere. Though ribs are what they are most known for, one reviewer mentioned planning to try them on a future visit. The atmosphere is a bit different than before Covid, as the staff cleaned up and removed the hanging money that was used during the pandemic, mainly for fire safety reasons. Despite this, the food remains fantastic, with a retro look and feel that many enjoy. The restaurant also offers a fun environment with pool and music, making it a great place to relax and enjoy good food. Overall, Guy & Mae's Tavern continues to be a beloved spot for ribs, smoked meats, and good times.
