The food was so good when I was there recently with my family My sister is still talking about the great hamburgers and the fun decor even though it was 4 weeks ago. Food, service, ambiance, value, everything was perfect and exactly what we were looking for for a lunch time stop. I will be back.

We were headed to a wedding in Vermont & didn't want to arrive starving so we stopped by this place after we saw smoke coming from the back. We walk in & the vibe is like a rummage sale from the 60's with something from everywhere. Super eclectic decor. The bartender was friendly and kept our glasses full & gave us menu recommendations. The Buffalo chicken dip wonton were devoured up before the plate got sat down on the bar! Then for the entrees, we tried the burger, brisket tacos, smoked chicken salad, & the brisket sandwich. All of which was absolutely delicious!! Lastly, we ordered wings to go. The wings are smoked first, then deep fried to perfection!! Combo that with this butter hotsauce & you're in heaven!! We will most definitely be back & if you're in the area, do yourself a favor & try this place.

The food is 5 star and the speed your food comes out is amazing. If you are a traveler passing by its a must stop for "the food". The brisket and St. Louis style ribs were delicious! The service was a 2 star as their seems to be a lot of kinks this staff needs to work out. My server had zero knowledge of the menu, not personable and constantly had to ask the kitchen basic questions. Also the owner needs to update the silverware to better serrated knives. A full drink menu with prices is a must even if it's a piece of paper slid into the menu as it changes. Ambiance is still a little cluttered and the bus in the driveway is an eyesore plus cuts down parking.

We are visiting the area from TX and CA, and THIS IS THEE BEST restaurant we have been to out of Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island! Such a fun atmosphere, totally personable staff, and outstanding bar service! The food and beverages were delicious and suited all ages of our family. This place is well worth the drive. Excellent value for the price! I happily can say that memories have officially been made with my family at this restaurant and with the exceptional staff here!

This place is killer good with a great atmosphere and staff. We completely stumbled upon it during a road trip from the Midwest to Portland, Maine. Turned the car around when we saw it and decided to stop. We had smoked wings, pulled pork, fries, and beers. Old school signs and unique bar tables make it a great place.

Spot close to hoosick falls, unique decor inside, local homegrown family business making great bbq and burgers and top notch drink menu.

Stopped in at 5pm on a Sunday was moderately busy. They were already sold out of everything chicken, & brisket on the menu. The wait time for food was an hour and a half for a pulled pork sandwich, burger and pulled pork MAC & cheese. The Mac and cheese was swimming In cheese grease or butter. Over all not worth the wait at all. First and last time trying this place.

My boyfriend and I have been there three times now. The first time no one seated us for many minutes. A few servers walked past us, but no one greeted or even acknowledged us. Then when we sat down, it took almost 15 minutes to get a drink and menus. Plus, 2 of the 4 main menu items were out of stock already. When I received my pulled pork, the serving size was smaller than my fist! The second time we went, we met some friends there for lunch. We all sat at the bar and it took almost 20 minutes before we got our first drink! They took much longer to take our food orders and... no surprise, they were out of menu items again.The third time we went, a child was greeting us. She said it would be a 25 minute wait for a table. But she refused to take my name. She said she doesn't take names. How would she know who to call next to a table?? When I asked if they had all of their menu items in stock, she said she didn't know. Then she said it would be a 45 minute wait for a table. Still wouldn't take my name. We just walked out.

Stopped in on their 3rd day open 3/26/23. Burger was great so was service. Decor is amazing and it' s bigger inside than you would think. Definitely a must stop if you are traveling through the area, just look for the red double decker bus out front!

Man, what a fantastic tasting burger and fries! I'm a s***** for a food truck and this one did not disappoint, ESPECIALLY considering how far out it is from where I'm staying. I definitely recommend it.

My boyfriend and I made a pit stop here and boy, are we glad we did. We ordered the whiskey mountain burger, the smokey mushroom melt, cheese fries, and bold hot dog. Everything was delicious! The sauce on the burgers was so good, plus the meat was juicy and tender. The fries and hot dog were very good as well, not overly salty. Definitely would come here again!

A little pricey for a hamburger, but way better than I was expecting. I should probably mention that I went here after just finishing a trail run, so you may want to temper my review. I got the bourbon burger (I think?), which was very tasty. Anyway, I'll definitely go back if I'm in the neighborhood again.

Amazing burgers, dogs, tots, and amazing people! The moment you walk up to the truck, you're family! My favorites are the the whiskey mountain burger and the Gatesy dog(Secret menu item). Give them a shot, I promise you won't be disappointe!

I've been waiting all winter for this gem to return to Hoosick Falls! While I'm a huge fan of the whiskey mountain burger, I decided to try something different. I gave their smokey mushroom burger a go, and it shan't be the last. Juicy, delicious, that garlic cheese sauce is heaven on earth, and I want it on everything I ever eat ever. Everything is made with love, and it shows. They also started doing funnel fries, so I obviously have no excuse to skip out on dessert. Amazing food, and amazing people.
