Pretty good place. Went up there with a friend. He said that he food was pretty good. See the menu they do have specials from time to time. It is pretty neat to have a restaurant like this in such a small town. Definitely recommend going up there.

We went for BBQ here for the first time today. Food was absolutely amazing. My husband had the 3 meat dinner & I had the 16oz pork steak, of course I brought 2/3 of it home for lunch tomorrow. The pork steak was so tender you could break off with a fork. The owners were so helpful & very friendly. This place is a definitely worth the drive. We are taking friends next weekend.

We ordered brisket meals. The food was served quickly and looked great when we picked up our trays. There were two beautiful cuts of brisket arranged on our tray, but on both of our meals, the two cuts under those were not as good and very fatty. That was a little disappointing. I was happy to see my favorite Excel bottling soda available. Overall a good meal and I will definitely try something else from their menu.

We got BBQ'd pulled pork and it was fantastic. The whole family loved it. I believe we've found a new place to dine on great food .

5 stars for the pulled pork sandwich, ribs and the side order of potato fries that I have tried. Also have to give a thumbs up on the BBQ sauce and the half slab of ribs was enough to make another lunch the next day. An excellent salad bar is also available. Place has a great atmosphere and plenty of tables. They have also added a patio area outside for increased seating. Hopefully one day a person will be able to have a beer with their meal. For me its take out and a cold one at home! They have also added a patio area outside for increased seating
