We went through the proper pig for our wedding reception food and they did not disappoint. We got the brisket, pulled chicken, and pulled pork with Mac and cheese and coleslaw on the side. They made the ordering process easy, answered all of our questions, and it was ready to go as soon as our pick up crew arrived. Our guests kept asking who did the food and talked about how tasty it all was. The total for the food blew everyone else out of the water too, we were not expecting...

As someone from Louisiana, our trip to Cleveland was lacking in the food department. Luckily we smelled the smokehouse and pulled in. Our total time there was 30 minutes, and we had food 5 minutes in. Everything was amazing, perfectly spiced, and filling. I’d recommend this place to anyone in the area. Especially with the kind service on top!

Courteous staff, clean establishment. Unassuming digs. The food is the best barbecue I've had in Cleveland. The Turkey surprised me with abundant flavor and the brisket is incredible, though I'm partial to the fat end. Turkey's still my favorite, though the brisket and links are close. Mac and cheese is tasty, as well, and their cocktail selection is delicious and fun.
