I don't think I've ever had such a crispy juicy Chicken sandwich. Watch the kick.

Their hamburgers were awesome!!

Pulled pork was to die for. Brisket was okay, not bad by any means but for sure not the best. Spicy pickles were actually spicy. Mac and cheese was very good, 8/10. Would def go again.

They made their new menu look so promising and refreshing. I ordered a cheese quesadilla tonight. If you look at their menu it describes it as ‘cheddar cheese quesadilla with barbecue sauce and a side of sour cream and pico de gallo.’ I received something that resembled a crispy frisbee. The quesadilla wasn’t even melted together and there were no sides of sour cream or pico de gallo

Our family stopped in after going on the Easter train. This place was easy to find, easy to park and had great food. There was a big seating area - which was nicely decorated. Highly recommend!

Amateur cooking all the way. 👎🏼 Bland, overpriced, and just not good. When I think of BBQ, I envision delicious food worth waiting for. Sadly this is not it. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 They REALLY need to take a long hard look at what they're doing. It's hardly mediocre!

Brisket sandwich was good!

had a craving for Nashville hot chicken last night, and this was the closest. added a note that we wanted ours VERY VERY HOT, because some places are more medium hot. when I picked up, the guy said he made it as hot as they could, and please don't give a bad review if it's too hot. it was PERFECT: super hot but not inedibly hot, excellent flavor and crispness, and a generous sized sandwich. I don't know what the usual sandwich is like, but if you ask for SUPER DUPER hot, it sure is delish! loaded fries had good flavor (but didn't travel well, my bad), and the brussel sprouts were excellent. will definitely come back and eat in, because of the nice location and cool view. thanks for dinner guys!

Let’s get down to the details of this place so you can really understand what you’re working with. My family and I came a hour before closing tonight to try out their food. We were originally looking at bbq spots to order catering from for an upcoming event and wanted to try it out before placing our catered order. We were a little hesitant after seeing some recent and older review but we thought to give it a try. A lot of people in the community talk about this place. My husband is a huge fan of bbq and although I really enjoy it, oh am I PICKY.

I want to start off by saying that this place could use a bit of work but it absolutely still exceeded my expectations. The small things we do have to “complain about” won’t keep us away. This bbq spot is run by two extremely kind brothers and it seems like they are doing it ALL by themselves. I arrived with my husband and 3 kids under 3 years old and we were the only family dining for the next as another customer was just leaving. The customer service was 10/10 and it took about 20 minutes to have get our food. I’m sorry if you’re expecting delicious BBQ in under 10-15 min but to us we would have waited 30 or more.

My family and I ordered :
Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls 8.5/10 (could have used a tad bit more seasoning and a heavier cheese or more of a flavorful cheese sauce. Still however quite delicious)

2 prime brisket Sandwich’s 9/10 ( I personally thought these were outstanding. The meat wasn’t dry, there was just enough fat but not to much, the flavor was there and additional ingredients out on the sandwich paired together quite well. My only complaint was the kind of pepper they used when smoked it’s quite powerful)

Chicken fingers 5/10 (besides the fact that they’re chicken fingers the only reason for the low rating is how salty it was)

2 orders of Fries 7/10 (Slightly overcooked and were an additional charge. I would recommend having fries added to the orders)

Brussels Sprouts 9.5/10 ( I wish I could rate these a 10, the flavor was amazing however it was DRENCHED in oil. Like a ridiculous amount of oil was sitting at the bottom of my plate.)

Minor other complaints
——————————————
- We only saw two high chairs in the restaurant so if other families come that could be a bit of an issue for them
- There wasn’t a clear drink menu posted that I saw
- No kids menu

These things are small and I believe are learning curves in new businesses. My family and I look forward to support this local business and seeing how they grow. We will be placing our catering order with them as well!

Ordered a pound of pulled pork, a pound of sliced prime brisket and cole slaw. The best I’ve had. Will be using them for catering needs in the future for my staff.
