Outstanding food and amazing cocktails! The bartender (Amanda?) was lovely, and the owner was super nice! Can’t wait to go back!😀

My 10 year old put a list together for our family tonight and we drove there together to place the order because the phone line was not working and the online ordering was down. When we walked in the guy in the kitchen said, its gonna be a while, and he had shut the phones down and online ordering down. He said he would rather take care of the people drinking at his bar. He told us we should go to Pat's Pigs around the corner if we wanted food and pretty much told us to get lost. So much for trying to keep it local.

My dad and I tried to order online but it was not working. We tried to call to order but went to a google voicemail, so we figured we would just go order there and wait. When we walked in, the guy at the counter said he shut down the phone line and the online ordering because he said he was too busy. He said we can wait for a while if we want, but he would tater take care of the people drinking at his bar. He didn’t offer for us to sit down and told us he didn’t want to take are order so we left and he said he’d rather take care of the people inside drinking instead of us, then muffled some nasty words under his breath as we walked out. Certainly not going to give this a try ever again. Love to support local small business but we will never support this one again.

Just visiting for a few days and found this gem! Killer BBQ and an all around great spot!

The food was outstanding!!! The wings were some of the best I’ve ever had. The Cole slaw and cucumber dills were a perfect refreshing bite. We also got the nachos… holy YUM!!! The beef tallow steak fries were crisp and seasoned well!! All around an amazing meal!

Ashley was our server and she was so sweet and so nice to chat with! Adam, the chef and owner, was also very kind! I would recommend this place time and time again! We will 100% be back.

After reading all of the reviews we may have gone on a bad day but our experience was so disappointing. The food was cold, our drink was good, but we couldn’t get a second because supplies were too low and it felt as though it was an imposition. Excited to try something new but I don’t think I would give it a second go due to the service, quality of the food and how long it took to revive our order. Staff was not welcoming and we didn’t get what was described on the menu. I hope it was just a bad night for them and that it improves. Like to see something different succeed.

What a gold mine this place is out in Lima! Atmosphere is old school meets modern. We had great service sitting at the bar for drinks and our food. There are some really great creative cocktails like the X-ray vision. Dare say the best wings I have ever eaten. Don't know how they cook them but they are so so good. It's not that far from Rochester so no excuse for not going. I suggest taking route 65 to go there. It's the scenic back roads way.

Just stopped in for lunch today for the first time. The food was outstanding, we'll definitely be back. Go Bills.

We had a date night here tonight. We had ribs and brisket with Mac and cheese and pickles. I had a Mocktail that was one of the best I've ever had. The food was delicious and our server. Henry, was attentive and friendly. We'll be back!

Dined in for our first time this past week. Been meaning to try the new Lima, NY bbq. The Normal did not disappoint, food was phenomenal and the artisan cocktails were amazing. Soda is also offered on the menu. Owner was friendly and inviting. I have every intention of going back to try more cocktails and enjoy the bbq. Cheers!

Best dang wings I’ve ever had, and I’ve had them from Buffalo to Korea. These wings are meaty, smoked then fried. Cocktails are nice too. I had an Old Fashioned and the Crop Circle.

Very lucky to have found this hidden gem. Their cocktails pair perfectly with their menu. My favorite dishes are their smoked wings and a new addition of their dessert of “Dream Cake”. If I go for a meal or just a couple cocktails the atmosphere is always top notch.

Really great food. We had such a good time here. Exciting menu

The food was excellent, I had the pulled pork, brisket, and turkey breast. The meat was juicy and flavorful, though only lightly smoked IMHO. The German potato salad and coleslaw were both good also.

I give four stars for atmosphere, it was cold there. I had to wear my jacket.

I give it a four-star overall, because the meat servings seemed underweight to me, and they are pricey.

These guys make great food, like it's got that secret ingredient that makes food taste like it's unique and special, magical food! Love food!

Yummy
