Absolutely delicious. My order consisted of a pulled pork and pulled ckn sandwiches. Pork for me and ckn for puppies. Although, both were scrumptious, I thought ckn was a bit tastier. One sandwich would have been enough for the 3 of us. Only 2 whoas: couldn't switch a side of slaw for beans, and the online menu listed each sandwich as 6.95 and I was charged 9.99 each.

Good BBQ spot! We had the beef brisket & pork sandwiches. They offered different sauces and each sandwich came with coleslaw and a pickle.Staff was very nice and came by our table a couple times to ensure everything was okay. It was a great place for lunch!

The ribs are absolutely amazing with the mount Nittany BBQ sauce! I would highly recommend all my friends and family to come here if your craving good BBQ. Its a bit pricey but a 100% worth it. The staff was very friendly as well and the facility was super clean. Over all 10/10
