Wow!! Just Wow!! This is the best BBQ we’ve had in a very long time. Tin Hut was at Fierce Cider so we decided to stay and try them out. The Brisket was literally the best I’ve ever had. Everything else we ordered was perfect!! Don’t miss them!

Came for breakfast before golf and lunch after the round. Arrived 8:15am. I was the only person there. There was only 1 staff when I was there and she also cooked the food. You order directly at the counter. Limited menu. I opted for the two-egg breakfast. I was told "only spam and bacon" were available (no ham or sausage as options listed). I chose bacon. I was also told "only sour dough toast available".
I also ordered coffee. So, self-serve coffee, self-serve water from a fancy counter top dispenser on the bar (no ice and not cold). Self-serve utensils and condiments. No jelly or jam anywhere or offered.
Food: Eggs cooked perfectly, over-easy. Toast was very good.
Hash brown "patty" (similar to McDonalds) was terrible. No flavor except the deep fryer oil it was cooked in. And worst of all was the "Bacon". Anything called "bacon" must be good by definition in my world. But this was weird, odd stuff. 3 large strips of a soft, almost mushy 'bacon' with minimum 'flavor'. Truly just weird. Looked sort of soaked in grease/oil? Limp, soft and again kinda mushy. I'm not sick today (day after) so I guess it was safe, but honestly, a weird mystery on that.
This place COULD be really nice but I don't think they get enough, sustained business to hire enough staff and stock enough food to sell before it maybe expires? But it's a good size restaurant with dedicated (though unattended) bar. Decent patio too.
Lunch was busier because several groups completed rounds. By then there was a guy who seemed to be cooking, a dishwasher and I think two women. Menu inconsistent. The printed, laminated said chips came with sandwiches, but was told "no" but could order sides for extra. There was a digital menu above head on the wall.
I had the chicken sandwich with tater tots. Chicken had good, smoky flavor, brioche bun seemed fresh. Tots, (not many) like the hash brown patty were bad, no flavor except fryer oil. I used ketchup to help get those down.
Worst part (besides the bacon) was that they prompt you to tip at payment! UGH! Order standing up, wait for food and pickup up at counter. Self-serve condiments, waited for tap-beer as no active Bartender. DON'T PROMPT FOR TIPS if you're not providing any real service beyond the basic job of taking order and handing drinks out at the counter!! This world has become insane regarding expected tipping.
******Follow Up on reply: Great, full reply covering all the issues, thanks. I fully disagree about tips. Bussing, sweeping, etc. are inclusive duties of the job the wage is covering. Tips are specifically for direct, personalized service and interaction by the server. Society is out-of-control regarding tipping. In this instance, it’s akin to being prompted to tip in a fast food drive thru.
The passion that Frank has for bbq can be tasted in every bite of his ribs and brisket.
Absolutely incredible barbecue- these guys have won awards across the nation and it shows. Food and service both top notch, can’t wait to come back!
My experience at tin hut was most awsome due to the fact valarie and rick are the most amazing servers and cooks i have met around towne. They made our tume here great and had awsome food and conversations. Highly recommend them!!
Top two or three best briskets I’ve ever had. I’ve had a lot super juicy flavorful tender.
