May 28, 2026"The beef rib is absolutely amazing! Then try the brisket ends, pork rib, and skip the sausage. The other MUST have is their mustard bbq sauce! The baked potato is also very good. Service is fast and plenty of paper towels per table for you. Not very busy when we went but you can check their website to see if they have the meat in-stock as they do run out! Walkable to the river!!"

The food arrived a few minutes early. The brisket was to die for delicious! this was raved about by everyone in attendance. Highly recommend this restaurant’s catering!"

Apr 15, 2026"The loaded baked potato with homemade cheese sauce and brisket was excellent. It was full of flavor and balanced. However the baked beans and Gouda Mac and cheese were just okay. We found the sides were lacking. Also it was rather expensive and it was all à la carte and there were no variety plate options available like most barbecue restaurants."

Mar 04, 2026"The food was good and at a fair price. I think the beans are an outstanding side. They are sweet and peppery and a great compliment to the smoky meat. The brisket was pretty tasty and the pulled pork was good. The mustard BBQ and the spicy BBQ sauce were both really good. The standard BBQ was fine, but didn't stand out like the others. Overall a good place to eat, with fair prices, a helpful, friendly staff and a clean facility. I would return again if I was looking for BBQ in the area."
