We decided last minute to go out for dinner for Mother’s day but unfortunately didn't make a reservation. We thought we would either be waiting a long time for a table or possibly be turned away, which we completely understood. Although they were very busy and we didn't have a reservation they were so accommodating. They did everything they could to get us a table. The service was fantastic and so was the food! We will definitely be back!!

We went for the Sunday BBQ and brought a large group. That normally throws a wrench in any service and we were prepared. They sat our party and took our drink orders. Separate checks are always hit and miss with large groups but they had no issue giving us separate checks. I have to say that when restaurants are open to that it makes large family dinners easier and they get extra points for going the extra mile on that one. Our server was incredibly good natured and nothing tripped her up. We all ordered BBq. Im pretty sure we had everything on the BBQ menu. The plates looked great, very appealing. The first issue was the plate auction when the food came out. It's really difficult when the server is standing there saying OK. Who got the " ribs, chicken and brisket?" 4 people say me. They put the plate down and then it's, "nope. I had mac and cheese this has corn bread and the passing around starts. The food for the most part was delicious. The sides for the most part were good, but cold. I dont think even half of us had warm sides. They were tasty, but cold. No one complained, but it detracted. The portions were good, the look was good, the taste was delicious. Very good all around. Our only issues were cold sides and the food auction when they came to the table. Its not easy for a kitchen to handle 15 orders and get it all perfect, they were damn close. We will definitely be back.

Ordered the garbage burger and it lived up to the name, literally. Ordered it medium rare and it was cooked all the way through and very dry. The bun was stale and was hard to take a bite out of. How hard is it to make a decent burger? Oh well. The beef stroganoff special was decent, but not worth the price.Service was quick and kind.

Been on the list to check out for awhile, always busy here I really don’t know why. Curb appeal is bad / potholes / ashtrays with cigarettes all over the entrance / nasty bathroom. Food was mediocre at best. Bartender (Female) was wonderful. I’m sure YMMV depending on the day but this was an off one.

The owner is a good guy, very friendly and really knows how to cook! Lots of choices, good prices. Multiple bars, one really large and a great atmosphere. Great for large families and large group, dinners or events.

The smokehouse option on sundays is amazing where you can choose between 2,3 or 4 smoked meat options, served on an old cutting board style platter. They also give you 5 different bbq sauces to try, and the orange appreciate bbq sauce was phenomenal. Extremly affordable and highly recommended.
