I had an extreme desire for barbecue. Since I pass this establishment on a regular basis, I thought that I would stop in and get some barbecue. I was really dissatisfied with the overall experience. First, the prices are à la cart and extremely high. The food was not great. I received a ribs, potato salad, and baked beans. The ribs had a lot of fat on them and did not have barbecue sauce on them. I had to add barbecue sauce. The potato salad had big clumps of potatoes in it, and the taste overall was not satisfying. Finally the baked beans taste like store-bought baked beans mixed with barbecue sauce. I did not eat at all.. I was certainly not satisfied with the overall experience. However, your taste buds may be different, but if you’re looking for true authentic barbecue, then this may not be the place for you. Just my opinion. Hope this helps anyone who has a strong desire for authentic barbecue.

Great BBQ & even better staff! Was just around the corener from the VA Hospital & was a great find. I will be back for sure!!
Where to start... We saw a hole in the wall looking bbq joint and figured it would be great. Upon walking up the smoker was going and smelled amazing giving what appeared to be a great start to this endeavor.When we got inside, there were 2 tables total. So we got our order to go. $35 for the all meat platter. All 4 of us got the same thing.Let me just say, I am not convinced any of this meat was smoked... more like oven baked...The brisket... it was not a brisket... Chuck roast maybe? Roast beef? I don't know, but it wasn't brisket.The chicken was probably the best, but not b/c of the smoked flavor it didn't have... it was cubed and seasoned. The seasoning making this the best of the meats.The ribs? Yuck. Who leaves the membrane on ribs??The pulled pork was typical pulled pork... minus a smoked flavor.The sausage was not bad, although I don't do sausage like that often.The beans were like they took cans of pork and beans and mixed some pulled pork into them. Not good.The bbq sauce had some fruity taste to it. I am all about sweet and fruity, but something was off in it.All in all, very dissapointed with the food here.

We got pulled pork sandwiches to go with coleslaw and baked beans sides. Overall it was bland. No sauce on the pork or in the bag. Sides were just okay.

The only part I appreciated was that the food was nice and moist. However, I found everything to be bland. Little or no flavor. I felt the coleslaw was simply raw cabbage in a cup. I would not recommend but it does seem to be popular. Definitely a white people thing, but I wouldn’t call it BBQ.

This BBQ is delicious. The potato salad out of this world and the service fast. The pork came right out of the fragrant smoker and tasted like Heaven to this northerner. It isn't meant to be an eat-in restaurant, but we were on the road, so I didn't want anyone to think it was fi e dining with table service. It was just delicious simple food

We got the food quickly, they didn't take long. There are only three tables inside and a BUNCH of tables outside. This is definitely more of a place to eat during the spring and summer. Inside feels like it could use a good cleaning.We got the Texas sampler and took the food home. It was tasty. I wasn't a big fan of the polish sausage. The ribs were fantastic and the pulled pork was delicious. The beef brisket and BBQ chicken were good, but I will probably aim for just the pulled pork or ribs next time. The bathroom was clean and the service was friendly. I plan to come again in late spring and summer. Kickass BBQ, definitely worth a visit.
One of the best barbecues around and that says a lot in Kentucky, lol.

The best pulled pork sandwich in town. The meat doesn’t need sauce. Its juicy, well smoked, and very flavorful. The staff has always been kind and friendly. Get a pulled pork XL and some potatoes salad, thank me later.Also, the sausage links are well cooked with a good flavor and a nice snap. Can’t go wrong.

Pulled pork was awesome. There was more than plenty to go on my sandwich and more. Cold slaw was not my style, its more vinegar based. They carried my favorite cookies, Kizito!We sat outside at picnic tables, basically on river road. I will return to try more.

Horrible and over priced for what little you get. They only have 3 tables and a woman that worked there was on her laptop the ENTIRE time and would not get up so really you only had 2 tables. Food was horrible. I will NEVER come back.
