I went here when I was in the area. They had catered a dinner at church and it was delicious. Well in person it was sort of average. I liked the Cole slaw very much. There was a slight gas odor in the restaurant and that took the joy out of my experience. For most of my visit I was the only diner, while several came for takeout orders. The dining room is quite large with many four top tables.Parking: The crowd was sparce that night. The parking lot is fairly large.

Just like a couple of people have said, the ribs were dry and burnt. Everything I got was slathered in bbq sauce. The only bbq sauce they have is very familiar to great value bbq sauce at Walmart. The beans were something you'd expect to eat at a work holiday potluck. The beef was okay, it was reminiscent of bbq but very mild. The pork was absolutely horrendous, imagine putting pork cold cuts in a crock pot with great value bbq sauce. Lastly I would have to agree that it's very silly to charge for bbq sauce when you choose to-go, but it is offered free if you chose to eat inside. And yes, everything was very sticky.

Can be a little smoky inside from the BBQ. BUT it's fantastic I absolutely recommend it. The coleslaw is the bomb. Frys are everything people make them out to be. I've had most things on menu. Burnt end sandwiche hard to beat. Price is good for the quality you actually get some great food! The wood paneling on walls turns me off a tad but I didn't come there for that...

Best BBQ! It's an old building and my family and I love it! Feels like home here, I hope they keep that feeling here forever. Personally love the brisket, burnt ends and you can never go there without getting fries. Plus, they have Pibb here! They also catered our wedding in 2021. Fabulous people!

Very nice to sit and grab lunch with family. Always good food but the fries were great just piled higher than one could eat.Parking: It's located in the Main part of Bates city near the railroad tracks.
