    The brisket was good however the rest of our order was “meh” at best. We ordered the 2 meat dinners and cornbread. The pulled pork, ribs and cornbread were all dry. The sides we ordered: chili, beans, slaw & potato salad, and they were not good either. The flavors were odd and lacking. I would not recommend this place.

    Great bbq meats! The small appetizers aren’t the best fried pickles and garlic cauliflower. Small Portion and small pieces. Recommend the dinosaur bone rib! Short rib dinner delicious. The brisket and 1/2 chicken was a big portion. Nashville Chicken sandwich was also amazing! You can adjust the heat! Cornbread is a must and the apple cinnamon butter is to die for. Loud family style place. Cement floors and lots of tables. It’s very busy, probably because it’s good and prices aren’t bad. Good tap beers and whiskeys. Ben was a great server! First time, good experience. Booked on open table was a good idea for Saturday at 6pm.

    Not the best BBQ I have had. The brisket was a bit on the dry side. The chili however was very good.

    The Arnold Palmers and Iced Tea were pretty weak but Rosie our waitress was kind enough to get us replacements. The ribs platter and the burnt ends platter were both delicious. The sides we got were all tasty too. Looking forward to going again and trying more items on the menu.

    They are still new and have opportunities like any new business. I don't think I'll go back for awhile, but will give them another try at some point.
