    I LOVE IT HERE! Julius, was our waiter for a party of 11, he was super attentive and kind. He has great manners, and checked up on us regularly to make sure we didn't need anything. The ribs are delicious!! He is also very observant and knows how to take care of his tables. Definitely tipping him generously :) PLEASE COME HERE!!

    First timer here and I loved it!!..upon walking through the door get ready to go back in time with the nostalgic decor that this place offers!!..there is very vintage memorabilia located here!!..our server was extra awesome!!..the food was delicious to say the least!!..we had pulled pork and a chicken platter..the portion was very generous pretty much two people can eat off of this platter and walk away pretty much stuffed..the pulled pork had just the right amount of sauce on it and the chicken was done to perfection and to die for!!..I am a fan and can't wait to return to try something else..the parking is plentyful as well..the menu was reasonably priced as well!!

    Very unique place to have some good barbecue. They have their own barbecue sauce which is very good. Loved the how tender the pull back barbecue was. The meat of the ribs were also perfectly cooked great flavor. Customer service is a big plus. Our waitress was very attentive.

    Netty, our server was amazing. She's great and deserves all the praise. However, some of the food was disappointing. My table had the buffalo wings for appetizer, the Pit Platter(ribs, chicken, pulled beef), and pulled pork sandwich. Buffalo Wings. Fried hard and very tasty. 5*/5* Pulled Pork and Pulled Beef. Both were tender, moist, delicious. 5*/5* Ribs and chicken, both 1*/5*. Both were very dry, even with the sauce(great BTW.) It was very hard to chew, it was more like jerky rather than BBQ. I don't know what it was about today, but it just wasn't it. The staff was great though.

    Service was amazing, very friendly staff, we ordered the half portion of wings for an appetizer (they were quite salty unfortunately). For dinner of 4 we had ribs , bbq chicken and a burger for a child. Very delicious . Big portions. For us 4 was about 90$ not including tip. Overall very nice place full of antiques . I Would recommend and we'll definitely be back all the way from Wisconsin!

    Food sucks. I was their last customer yesterday and order a rib tip with mild sauce. The fires were old and doused in hot sauce!!!! I asked for sauce on fries and meat(mild sauce!). I also ordered baked beans! When I arrive home and opened the container the smell of hot sauce hit me like a bat. I never request hot sauce and for them to drown those deadly day old fries in them I was done. Needless to say despite of paper the hot sauce made it to my tips! Total waste of money. I was given a total of $21.60 but that was before they saw I was paying cash. I have never been there before and advise all that read this not to either. I hate hot sauce and though they gave me two sauces on the side my food was totally unbeatable! Too much money spent. They gave me a full refuse with was excellent customer service for me!

    Between my wife and I, we got shredded pork and beef brisket, bbq chicken and ribs. The food was excellent. My wife did say the brisket was a bit fatty, but that's not unusual. The service was great and attentive without being intrusive. The only thing was that the prices are really high. I was aware of most of the prices of bbq, but this was pretty high. I do understand that the prices for everything have done up, including restaurants but if we go back, it will have to be a special occasion. It was a good experience despite the price.

    No fork in a to go. Not much pork on sandwich. Frys were uncooked.

    Everything I tried there is really good. Place has a good dine in ambiance and seevice usually pretty good. Only caveat is when ordering online I've walked in to pick up and my order wasn't filled they didn't look at the printer for online orders so I was late to work waiting or had to cancel altogether.

    The food had great flavors, I had the full slab of ribs and also tasted the pork chops a bit dry, but it was good. Love the cold beer, not so much on the bloody Mary it was very sour. I will say they tired to make it right and that was great service.

  • 3/5 Ahmed Benitez Ibn Ragnar A. 11 months ago on Google
    Great customer service, nice people. But i wish this place had more beef options when it comes to their ribs. Other restaurants have options but this place doesn’t. The burger was OK, and i feel the chicken wasn’t as fresh either. Had the half chicken and the texture and how it tasted was like it was a day old where you just heat it up in the oven the next day. It was enough for me not to come anymore

    Tables are really close together, a little more room would be great. I had the greek sausage dinner, really good. BBQ and ribs are a hit. They stopped having BBQ at the table and brought none with food. That needs to change. I suggest you pass on beer 4.75 a bottle very over priced.

  • 3/5 Roger H. 9 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere is fantastic! The walls are filled with picture frames. They have numerous antique Coke Machines or coolers. Myself and another member of our party ordered rib tips. The rib tips were mostly fat with very little meat. The server only stopped at our table 1 time to see if we needed anything.
