The food is amazing. The only downfall is that they're always closed when I'm craving their delicious food. Best food on west side I wish they would open more days a week

Excellent BBQ and service! Perfect ribs and great brisket. The brisket Philly sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had! The staff was friendly and super helpful. Just a great BBQ restaurant and I can’t wait to go back!

First, the phone number listed here is incorrect. The number on maps is 513.223.3091 but I just called and no one answered ‍ I had my son go by there between 7p and 7:30p the Saturday before last but the doors were locked. My son said it appeared that Grub Hub, or the like, was in there though. Depending on where you look, the hours could be 11a or noon to 7p or 8p, closed Sunday and Monday but they looked closed on Tuesday and today they don't answer the phone. Assuming I have the correct number. For the few times I have been there, people were complaining about the wait and the employees definitely appear confused. But a couple of them barely understand English. Everyone is very nice though and the owner is friendly and entertaining Against all odds, I will continue to try to go there again. Why? Because I think the food is incredible. Many of the items that might be available are not on the menu. Ask about the specials. I loved the smoked turkey and turkey ribs (who knew, right?), the pulled chicken was awesome and plentiful and the smoked meatloaf is original and tasty. The smoked cabbage and greens were wonderful. All the sides are made from scratch and you can tell. The brisket was good, some of it was a little chewy but most of it was top notch. I personally like the bbq sauce but I always get it on the side as I prefer to dip my meats as opposed to having them covered in sauce. There is a lemon cake dessert option and I swear, the icing is made by angels It is super light and refreshing. The cake is very moist and lemony and I always hope to get a piece when I go there. Anyway, I wish I could figure out the days and hours they're open because I'd really love some more bbq!!

Great food, hell of a variety. The brother was understaffed but was busting his tail. I'll definitely give it another try. But I seen him cook, serve and wait. ?

I got the pulled pork, so did my brother. My serving tasted good, but my brother's had bits of grissle and possible bone.

Excellent food. Prices are decent, But the food really makes up for it. The smoked meatloaf is the bomb. The pulled pork is great. So is the pulled chicken, the brisket was just ok imo. The sides are great and so is the carrot cake.

Friendly service, although they seemed a bit confused but we took it as maybe they were new and learning so no real complaints. Food was delicious! Especially the fried cabbage! We bought more to take home!

had my first experience here Friday night. Huge on site smoker and the smoke smell driving past is what drug me in. The food is absolutely amazing and can honestly say it is some of the best BBQ I've had in 50 states. The prices can't be beat. Great atmosphere and the owner is funnier than hell, very down to earth and hard working. Had an off menu pork chop and couldn't put it down, so delicious. The BBQ smoke smell when you go in is enough to get your mouth watering. Highly recommended. Great selection and they have multiple meat combos. Sides and desserts are to die for. If you love great, home cooked food, this is the place to be. You gotta check it out....I am for sure going back.
