    Fantastic little treasure spot! The staff is super friendly and takes the time to chat and recommend items. The brisket, well everything we've ever had, is outstanding! Very flavorful! The mac n cheese is very addicting, and the loaded fries! Oh, the loaded fries! You better bring a friend or two to share those! A great place and worth the drive!

    I purposely made a reservation through Open Table since it was a Friday night, we had a party of 6, and it was Graduation/Father's Day weekend.....I did not want to wait for a table. We got to the restaurant a little after our reservation time and saw a sign that said "Seat Yourself," but no clean tables big enough for our party. I told a worker that we had a reservation and I was a little upset that they had no record of our reservation and he said that they had been having issues with Open Table not forwarding the reservation to them. Luckily, he found a table big enough for us, it just needed to be bussed and cleaned. We had no other issues that night, except for them running out of cups. Ordering was easy and food was good.

    I only rated them lower because you certainly don't need reservations! You stand in line to order your food. You take your number to your table for delivery. The food was great for a BBQ and Beer pub. We are going back again with friends but will know what to expect. It is perfect for a casual beer night out with buds.

    We were unable to make our reservation, but all of our past experiences there have always been terrific. My family loves the food. It’s a community favorite! We always see someone we know there.

    Lots of great bbq and smoked meat selections. Vibrant setting. Happy hour is fun. Beer a little expensive but lots of craft beer / local brewery selections. Good times for everyone.
