Went in for a beer and bbq before we were able to order our beers from the brewery we were told across the room they were closing in 20 minutes. This was at 7. Supposedly open till 9. Out of 4 orders mine was forgotten and had the leftover fries from the others which was minimal compared to the others. Brisket was good in flavor but on top of a cold roll it brought the sandwich down. Cant say I'd eat here again but I'd go in for the good beers where they are located.

Boss hog sandwich was on 3 day old bread. I could taste the freezer on the onion ring. Pork itself was ok, not stand out. Spicy BBQ sauce was good. Bbq salad was very weak. Less than 1/4lb of meat on $12 salad. The rest of the salad was cheep greens and tomato. Cardboard fries. Chicken tenders are actually frozen chicken nuggets. Gets the job done if you need something to eat while drinking at the brewery, but not worth a stop on its own.

Yummy BBQ. It's attached to a brewpub so no table service, just counter service. Big portions, reasonable prices, quality Que. the pulled pork nachos were bigger than my 15 year old's head.

I'm from the south so I may be partial but. Pulled pork was soggy and ....awful. Brisket was. Ok. Ribs were terrible. Mac n cheese was dry noodles. The service was nice. Not sure this can be defined as bbq. It's more or less oven cooked or crock pot and it's really gross. I fed my 18 dollar meal to my dog because I felt rude throwing it away right in their face. I've never left a 1 Star review. I only leave 5 stars but. This was worth noting as just plain awful. Especially for the price.

Food was okay, pretty pricey. Not particularly comfortable seating on the tall stools. Would not go again.

No flavor, frozen, pre cooked ,it was cold, looked disgusting, and they ripped us off. The side salad was a hand full of lettuce in a tiny plate. THE WORST FOOD I'VE EVER HAD

Actually I was at Serious Brewing Co. Excellent beer. Same building.

Not pleased with our lunch. On senior trip today, only one person was working, soda was spilled on floor & no one was available to clean it up, server did not wear gloves while handling food, we were told choice of 3 or 4 sides, we were only given one & not of our choice.

We had the ribs, brisket, and pork belly... all of it was great. Good people too. Make sure you take a bottle of run home!

Baked beans was sweet but very tasty with bits of shredded pork. Sweet potato fries were crisp, on the skinny side but also good. Brisket sandwich on marbled rye was also very good, but fries it came with were soggy. House salad was a big portion, covered an entire lunch plate. It was not crowded when we went around 2:30pm, got our food in about 10 minutes.

The worst BBQ I have ever had and the BBQ buffet is a joke. Don't waste your money.

The food is "okay" but the "signature corn muffins" are horrible and do not resemble or taste like any corn muffin that I have ever eaten.

Holy guacamole! This place is amazing. At first we thought it might be overpriced for cafeteria style dining, but it was worth every penny! I have dreams about that delicious brisket 💗

Food was very tasty and good size portions.

Myself and 4 friends stopped in during bike week expecting the restaurant to be packed but it wasn't. The food was great and our server was polite and had our food delivered quickly. The prices were a bit high but the food was amazing and we don't mind paying for good food. If it's a nice day I highly recommend taking your food outside, they have a beautiful view of the lake and mountains.
