I lived in the Reno area for years before finally stopping in for lunch one day—and I’m kicking myself for not going sooner. The barbecue is absolutely fantastic, but I have to be honest: the fried catfish stole my heart. It’s that good. The sides are just as impressive—especially the mac & cheese and collard greens, which are must-haves every time. We loved it so much that I even had them cater my son’s graduation party a few years back, and they knocked it out of the park. This place is a true little slice of the South right here in the Wild West.

I bought a catering tray for work, ordered a couple of days in advance. I got the order for 11:00 AM. I got there a bit early. They unlocked the door at 11:00 sharp and I had my order and was on my way by 11:06 AM. Hot, fresh and very good. Pulled pork, Brisket, chicken, and ribs. The sides were perfect besides my own personal preference to keep my black olives and my tater salad separate. I took the unfinished food home, heated it up for lunch today for the family and my daughter just asked to eat here for her 8th birthday. Great job and thank you guys for making so many people happy.

Went in looking for some brisket and opted for the family meal. It has brisket, sausage, chicken and ribs. All enough for four. Also cornbread and two large sides. Best BBQ I have brisket you could cut with the plastic fork, the ribs literally peeled off the bone (leaving nothing but the bone), the sausage was juicy with a little spice and the chicken was good. You have your choice of sauce spicy or sweet whatever your presence. I am not from the area but if I come to Tahoe again it is definitely worth the hour ride. The service and crew were also very nice and accommodating.

Easily the finest b-b-q I've ever eaten, bar none. Nothing fancy, just incredible good. Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, hush puppies, corn bread, Cole slaw-- there wasn't a weak link (no pun intended.)

I had the brisket which was 10/10. Wife had the pulled pork which she really enjoyed. Sides were good and generous sized. Definitely will stop by again on the way through Reno.

Great hole in the wall BBQ place. Stopped here driving through on our way to Burning Man. Pulled pork and slaw burger were great. Solid fries. They need to work on their pickle game though (unless sweet pickles are somehow your thing).

As a Texan, I’m always VERY reluctant to try a barbecue joint out of my home state since usually it leads to disappointment but I have to say, this place is pretty dang good! I tried “The Texan”, because of course I had to, which surprisingly is a chicken sandwich! While I’m curious as to why “The Texan” is a chicken sandwich, don’t let that deter you my fellow Texans that somehow find their way from home, it was amazingly delicious! The sauce they use is spot on, the slaw was tangy but not bitter, thick sliced pickles, chicken cooked tender and with the right amount of breading, and the bun soaked up the juices just enough to keep it together! Maybe I can’t speak on their brisket or pulled pork but if they do that good with a chicken sandwich I can only imagine and I regret my stomach isn’t big enough to have eaten more from the menu! Hopefully I get a chance to come back and try other things on their menu and if I can’t, I’ve got two bottles of their “Moonshine” sauce to take home with me as they sell all of their sauces! As an added bonus, the place was clean, well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly which I always can appreciate! Thanks for the great food and service, y’all!
