Best bbq on the city. Tried his smoked wings and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s almost embarrassing lol 🤦♂️ owner is a solid dude too. If you’re in the city or passing through it’s definitely a must try
Wings was delicious. Brisket to fatty, and burnt ends all fat.

Unfortunately they no longer have beef ribs, but fortunately the food was great as well as the service. All in all a nice place to eat with good food!

A Symphony of Smoke and Soul!
Back Deck BBQ isn’t just a meal—it’s a moment. The kind you don’t rush, the kind you savor like the last warm light of a summer evening.
From the first bite of the rib tips—caramelized to perfection, each one a tender, smoky jewel—to the pulled pork that practically melts on the tongue, every dish feels like the result of both patience and passion. The burnt ends carry that deep, soulful char that only comes from someone who truly understands fire and flavor.
And the sides? Don’t call them sides—they’re supporting characters in this culinary sonnet. The mac and cheese is creamy comfort in its truest form, a golden melody of nostalgic charm. The baked beans hum with a sweet, smoky depth that ties the whole meal together like the final chord of a blues song.
But what truly elevates Back Deck BBQ is the people. The service is warm, attentive, and genuine—like being welcomed onto someone’s porch for a backyard feast where every plate is prepared with pride.
If barbecue has a heartbeat, you’ll hear it here. Back Deck BBQ is smoke, soul, and satisfaction in perfect harmony.

I had burnt ends, mac and cheese, and yams - all delicious with great portion sizes. Pair your meal with a Big Red to take it to the next level. Also shoutout the woman working here as she was an absolute delight!

We drove 2.5hrs to go to a Jack'o lantern spectacular on Halloween. When we got close to our destination and searched food. The Back Deck BBQ came up. When we pulled up the gentleman came out and told us they were closing. When he found out we were from out of town he told us to come on in. Oh my gosh... the food was fantastic! We had the pulled pork, coleslaw, baked beans, green beans... and the hubs ordered a cosbinator. That sandwich was huge... had pork, brisket, burnt ends, pickles and coleslaw. DELICIOUS!!! We are so appreciative of him opening his doors and letting us in when he was actually closing up and sharing his delicious food!!!

Tried this place when it first opened and was disappointed and I tried it again on 9-5-25 and was disappointed except for the baked beans and green beans were good the brisket was nothing special again. The interior has taken a serious turn for the worst and seriously dirty . Service this time was sloth like . $50 For two meals with water to drink and I wasn’t happy lol
Back Deck BBQ catered our wedding reception and absolutely nailed it! The food was incredible — flavorful, fresh, and a total hit with our guests. The service was just as impressive — professional, friendly, and seamless from start to finish.
Everything was truly amazing. We’re so glad we chose them and would recommend Back Deck BBQ to anyone looking for amazing food and top-notch service for their event. Thank you again for helping make our night unforgettable!

Worst ribs by far I have ever had.
Dry hard,
tuff and full if gristle . Also skimpie portion which was a blessing since they were so bad.
The woman taking the orders when asked how were the ribs said she didn't know cause she hadn't tasted them!! Bad sign,I should have walked out.
It was amazing! Huge portions, well worth the visit & we will definitely be back to try more. Thank you 😊

The place is filthy. Men’s bathroom was disgusting. Only cans of soda for drinks. Tablecloths were dirty. Flooring coming loose, actually seen another customer trip over it. Dirty crap hanging off the ceiling. One guy working by himself at 5pm, obviously hating his job, never smiled or showed any hospitality. Screwed up a simple order. I watched two separate couples walk in, take a look around and walk back out. Owner obviously doesn’t stick any money back into the business. The brisket was dry and tough. The burnt ends were definitely burnt and the sides were overcooked as well. I definitely won’t be back and won’t recommend.
