Ordered takeout over the phone on a Sunday night an hour before closing and that all went smoothly. Staff were friendly and attentive. Full rack of ribs was very generous, very meaty and tender, without being too tender ($28). The sauce seemed to have been added at the end and wasn't really 'integrated' with the ribs, but that was OK with me. Also ordered a half-pound of brisket ($12) and was disappointed. It was basically water boiled, which was absolutely not what I think of as BBQ or how I like it. Not sure if it was a one-off or misunderstanding on my end. Ended up adding it to oxtail soup I had left over from a Taiwanese restaurant earlier in day, which rescued the brisket from being binned. I realized once I stepped inside to pick up the order that I had been here once before ~5+ years ago. I don't think anything inside has changed. :) Being a Sunday night it was super quiet with only a two couples finishing dinner. There was a big TV by the bar if you want to stop by and watch a game with dinner/drinks.

Family-run restaurant with great food. The ribs were excellent—the meat was tender, tasty and came off the bone nicely. Chicken and brisket were also delicious. Sandwiches have a lot of meat.
I only get here once or twice a year but it’s always a treat. The corn bread is like dessert and the pulled pork is delicious. Worth a special trip, for sure.

They don’t have potato salad. It’s a barbecue joint, they are supposed to have potato salad

Eaten here a couple times. Not a huge rib or steak guy so my go to is pulled pork and it is awesome here. Sure the bread falls apart and it gets real messy but it is really a great sandwich. The staff is always top notch. Don’t expect a fine dining type of vibe here. I wouldn’t call this place a “dive” but the decor inside has a very dated feel. But I think this is what gives this local place its charm.

I'm sorry I don't really enjoy saying things like this but I didn't enjoy this place or care for their food

Love Gorkys! Absolutely delicious! Never never had a bad meal there! Highly recommend!
Food was good but a little taken back by getting charged for normal condiments that come on a burger. I ordered the elk burger which had no condiments and asked her to bring out normal ketchup, mustard, mayo which were all tiny portions I'm souffle cups. Not to mention fries didn't come with any ketchup. Fries were amazing but come on now, place has issues if they are charging $1.50 for ketchup and mustard. My guest was also charge for his BBQ sauce that should normally come on a pulled chx sandwich. DO BETTER if you want return customers.
This is a pretty good place. I’m not much into BBQ so I don’t stop at many. I’m sorry I know it’s terrible of me to say. But, I’m just not into it. This place was alright though so don’t shy away from stopping.
The servers and wait staff are very pleasant and accommodating. It’s a very nice and clean place.

I absolutely love their blueberry lemon cheesecake! I must’ve raved so much that Stephanie lets me know now when they have it. Always feel welcome here and the elk burger is also very tasty ?
