    Ambiance is really good, food was OK, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be great for others. The BBQ sauce and some of.the food was more vinegar based than I usually prefer but I know for many that is a strong suite. Overall a very enjoyable experience

    The workers were very nice and friendly. However the service was slow and incomplete. Had to ask for water. Had to ask for silverware. They may have been short staffed. Not sure. The Ribs were extremely salty. Pulled pork was fine. The deviled eggs were not as advertised (no bacon to be found). The setting is nice. Dogs welcomed.

    Great casual atmosphere. Southern ambiance and BBQ. Great indoor and outdoor seating options that were very comfortable. Outdoor is well heated, so even in colder temps it is an option.

    Our server Natalie was awesome, very tentative and nice. Restaurant is really nicely furnished with lots of outdoor dining, although you might want to sit inside if you’re looking for a quiet dinner because it is right on a busy main road. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the fresh fried pork rinds and tacos, also the smoked banana pudding was a good classic dessert with a twist. Also noticed there’s a dog friendly section which was awesome!

    The KSU Stu was not a stew at all, it turned out to be soup and without much meat and without much taste. Both sandwiches we got; the pulled pork and brisket had a lot of fat. The sauce was cold so when you put the sauce on it made the sandwich cold. The sandwiches weren't hot to begin with. The french fries were soggy and cold. One good note is that the ambiance is very nice. This is why it was such a disappointment because we were hoping for great food. On top of the poor food, the pricing was too high for BBQ since all the side dishes are ala carte (sold separately). Until they decide to improve the food quality, I would suggest getting your BBQ elsewhere.
