When we stopped by on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, I ordered and received a brisket sandwich and my wife ordered a meal with chicken, sausage and brisket with BBQ sauce 'on the side' with coleslaw, to go. My brisket sandwich was chipped beef, not sliced, but the flavor was very good. In the meal, chicken and sausage were nothing special, but they dominated, with the brisket having a quite small portion. The coleslaw was missing entirely (gone unnoticed until we reached home). Their brisket and BBQ sauce are perfect.
Currently the dinning area is under construction but still open and seating outside. The guys are really friendly and cool. Best BBQ I’ve had in a long time.

Today I decided after visiting Gail’s smoke shop I would check out the bbq joint next door ,it always smells so delicious !!! I walked in and I have to say they are under construction building a dining room however the two men that were working I assume the owner greeted me right away they were very pleasant and welcoming, I grabbed a menu started looking it over when he asked if I had ever been to the establishment then asked if I would like to try the candied bacon I said sure and omg it was amazing !!!!! I was sold! I ordered the CBLT candy bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich it came on an organic pretzel bun and had just the perfect amount of mayo! I will most definitely will be back for another the sandwich changed my life lol I’m definitely satisfied

Oh my lord!If you have been looking for great BBQ in the Niagara area for a long time like I have, you can thank me now, because I found it for you.I’ll apologize now if this review is a mess, but I am mere minutes away from a joyous food coma.They are takeout only right now, but the guys there told me they expect to be up and running soon.Anyway, this is the best BBQ I have had this far North, and some of the best ever. I got the candied bacon for an appetizer, because they gave me a piece to try. You got me with that one, Mike, but thank you. It was succulent and wonderful.I got the pick 3 with brisket, pulled pork and sausage. Each bite was juicy heaven. I’m not kidding. And as much as I love pulled pork and brisket, the sausage was the star of the show. I miss it already, and I just finished it. Dayum!! It was phenomenal.Oh yeah, I got the Mac & cheese for a side. It was also wonderful, but I won’t dream about it like I will the candied bacon, brisket, pulled pork and that amazing sausage.I am fading fast, so I will say go get you some BBQ by Mike. It’s crazy good. I . . . am . . . Zzzzzzzzzzz

First time going into this place, pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meat great smoky flavor good bark the pulled pork reminds me of pork from North Carolina. The vinegary taste. We got the Geronimo and also the Dreamcatcher, but Mike substituted it with the Nessy what a beautiful monstrosity the Geronimo was. You will be pleasantly delighted, nothing against the parkers pit, but mikes blows it out of the water. Great barbecue place. We will definitely be repeat customers. He is adding onto the restaurant so keep that in mind at the time of this review 03/22/2024.

We found this place by searching “BBQ” while driving in the area and then followed the scent of delicious meat to some truly outstanding sandwiches and fries. The Mikes were really friendly and helped us choose Brisket on Weck with homemade horseradish and potato wedges with really great homemade ketchup. Still savouring the flavours as I type this! Highly recommend and looking forward to coming back when their dining area is complete!
I stopped in to these guy’s place on a whim when I was getting gas and it when I tell you this is some of the best bbq I’ve ever had the candy bacon will make you cheat on your wife and the brisket/sausage was the best I’ve tasted since being stationed in Texas. Definitely stop in buy a bunch and see what you like definitely worth the money. ✅

We came down to buffalo for a road trip during the summer and WOW this place was amazing. Don't judge a book by its cover because this place might look tiny but their flavors pack a punch! Highly recommend the OG platter since you get a bit of everything.I'll always remember Pitmaster Mike who was super friendly and let us try some of their cornbread and candied bacon. We don't have too many amazing BBQ places in Toronto but I never knew that cornbread could be one of my favorite things in BBQ.Not only that but the candied bacon was OUT OF THIS WORLD. The way the fats melt in your mouth, texture of the crisped smoked bacon and the subtly gritty natural sugars that coat the bacon. WOW just heaven in your mouth. Take your time to savor it because it'll be gone before you know it!Hands down would come back down just to get some more of their barbecue because it really is one of the best places to get some of that grubby goodness you're looking for.Pitmaster Mike, we will never forget you!
There is absolutely NO better fricken BBQ on this entire planet!! Hands down. I’m gonna go poor because of this place!!

Visited in the summer when staying in the area. Great food and in particular the brisket. Friendly staff. Only downside is perhaps the location where you eat next to the petrol station forecourt. Still good food though.
