Our first time, and certainly won't be our last. We were a family of five, and in addition to a few cocktails, for dinner we enjoyed everything from the cornbread, to BBQ chicken, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Baked Beans, Cajun Fries, Green Beans, etc. EVERYTHING was simply amazing!Our server was very friendly and polite.The best part... affordable prices!For FIVE complete dinners, a few beers, and a few mixed drinks.. Our bill was only $146!That's incredible!Many thanks to the owner and his staff!

So on my adventure of trying new places I came across this place to share with all, so let's start off with we ordered the ultimate sampler that had some wings and shrimp as well as ribs it wasn't bad I asked for the wing flavor to be garlic parm but was more like a Italian dressing but wasn't to bad, then I ordered there brisket when I got the mashed potato they where piping hot like they came out the microwave but where not to bad as I went to try the brisket and it was terrible it was old so I asked the waitress how old it was and was told that they made it the night before but was frozen and as you can see in picture this was older then the night before I go to other places and when the brisket comes out it pink with a nice smoke ring, on the other plate we got there pulled pork and the same it did not taste good at all and seemed to be old as well, if you look at the pictures you can see how they looked, I probably will not come here agin.

The ribs were good, but my wife's brisket was cold when it came

Take out packaging needs changing. A warm wrap in a plastic container with no holes for steam to escape = soggy inedible wrap. Collard greens tasted like they came from a bag and steamed in microwave. No flavor. Awful

The service was great and the regular Mac and cheese was very tasty, however the ríbs needed to be slathered with barbeque sauce and they were not. As a result, I could not give a 5 star rating because without the sauce ribs were a little dry.

Just had dinner here for the first time (and last time). The brisket was so-so. The corn bread was dry and flavorless. The a/c wasn't working on this 90 degree day. The side of onion rings, although tasty, consisted of only 3 onion rings. And, the bathroom was filthy. On a positive note, the waitress was friendly and efficient.

I did not have a good experience here. My wife and I walked in and it was open mic night. That should have been my cue to turn around and walk back out. I understand that local musicians sometimes enjoy open mics, but I do not want to take part, and I certainly don't want to hear amateur hour while trying to enjoy dinner. We decided to give it a shot anyway and the night didn't get much better. Let's start with appetizers... well, I would have liked to start with them, but our server forgot to put in the order, and when our food came out and I asked, she lied and said they were still cooking. Let's move on to our entrées. My wife got the brisket sandwich with fries and she enjoyed her meal. I got the ribs with baked beans and onion rings. The menu did specify "rings" and I realize that 2 1/2 does qualify as plural, but not exactly what I was expecting. The baked beans were fine. The ribs were fairly dry and under sauced. I was given extra sauce, but there should have been a lot more cooked on to the ribs. If I wanted to dunk meat nuggets, I would have gone to McDonald's. After we finished our meal, our appetizer wings finally arrived. (Dessert wings???) They were again a little dry, but not too bad. At that point, the house drummer had beaten my head into an ache that wasn't going to go away so we left and went to Ready Coffee to wash the taste of bad BBQ out of our mouths.

If I could give this place negative stars I would. I’ve come here before, even ordered delivery, and never an issue. We come today for the Mother’s Day Drag Brunch and not only was the service horrible, the food was awful. If you’re going to have specials on the menu then make them special. Chicken and waffles was literally chicken fingers over Eggo waffles. Shrimp and grits was ok shrimp and undercooked grits. The beer was pouring out of the taps mostly foam. Was anyone running things today or was the manager rearranging deck chairs while the Titanic was sinking?

I wish fried pickles had a dipping sauce... and tartar sauce for Fish and Chips...my wife had half bbq chicken... she loved it....

The food wasn't bad... I had it delivered which is why there may have been a problem I called the restaurant directly and asked If when you order through door dash do you receive french fries with certain items the previously nice woman became impatient and nasty she said yes then both items didn't come with them which I would have ordered separately had she just been truthful.. AND the reason for my post there was a missing item which the restaurant did not remove they alerted the driver but still charged the order they made no attempt to contact me which is ... Just not cool

Came for lunch on a Saturday around noon. No one was there so I got nervous but boy was I wrong. The food here was amazing! The fried shrimp is so flavorful and juicy. The ribs fell off the bone so tender and so much grill flavor. The Dutchess was moist and the cheese pull was outrageous. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm craving some delicious bbq. Service was very friendly and fast.

So I wanted to try something new so I order their food through Uber eats ,the delivery was fast but by the time I got the food and opened it I very disappointed the the honey sauce was so hard that it was holding the wings.

Great Cheesesteaks ( trust me, I know Cheesesteaks) and wings. Just a really nice assortment of foods. Jaffrey is the owner and really nice guy (I can ignore the fact that he's a Cowboys' fan) and easy to chat with. Hey wait, how the heck can a Cowboys' fan make a good Cheesesteak? There's something sacrilegious about that. Jaffrey and his brother also own the liquor store next to the restaurant. Stop on by!

Open Mic Bandeoke

The best barbecue in town! Only my grandmother may have made better brisket. Maybe... They also have the best open mic in the Hudson Valley on Wednesdays 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
