Locally sourced from the surrounding community. Homemade kielbasa is to die for! Get yourself a polish boy with added pork with the fries on the side. Add some habby and you'll be happy!
September 2025
Really awesome local BBQ place. Burnt ends were perfect as was the pork. I tried the mushrooms and wow, never thought of having them before but they are now near the top of the list to get every time. Highly recommend Kiser’s
August 2025
Everything was delicious! We were from out of town on vacation and decided to stop here. I got the smoked drumsticks and they were so tender and flavorful! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting and locals that haven't tried it yet!
