Great little barbecue joint. First time visiting and we weren't disappointed. Service was fast and pleasant. The atmosphere was relaxing. The restaurant appeared to be clean and welcoming. My wife and I each got a sandwich that was full of flavor, (though the buns may have been a bit stale). The French fries with rosemary were totally unexpected. I don't want to eat my fries any other way again!!! Overall a nice experience with tasty food. We look forward to coming back and trying the other options.

Finally tried this place out after driving by for far too long. Didn't have the hugest of appetites when I came in but the pork sliders were amazing. Got a huge heaping mound of hand cut fries too with a unique seasoning. They were fire . Nice that they have draft beers too. Will definitely be back to try more!

The burnt ends were absolutely wonderful, the service was great. The onion rings well, they weren't that good. But, I will file that under lessons learned and try a different side next time. Oh yeah, there side salad with blue cheese dressing was also wonderful.

The BACON WRAPPED BURNT ENDS are the best. Probably my favorite thing right now. I don’t even wanna get started on it because I’ll be here all day. Would definitely recommend!!

Plan to eat here if you enjoy good smoked BBQ. Walking in the door the smell guarantees your going to love it. Started with pulled pork egg rolls stuffed with pork & coleslaw that you can dip in a spicy ranch - or use their excellent BBQ sauce. Then we jumped into the largest baked potato I've seen loaded with pulled pork topped with sauce, cheese, sour cream and scallions ( enough for two easily). Then the Black Angus beef brisket sandwich - great smoked flavor covered in sauce, coleslaw and onion straws. Thick slices of the best brisket I've had in quite a while. Comes with a pile of fries. Ate as much as we could then took home the rest. Smoke is on my BBQ list to visit again.

Got the pork nachos as an appetizer. They were fantastic!! This could have fed 4 or 5 people. I got the The Famous Big Butt w/cheese and onion straws and FF, hubby got Black Angus Beef Brisket with onion straws and FF also. The sandwiches were great and the buns were filled. There were so many ff on both the plates it seemed more of a waste. The manager and our server both came.to.our table several times to check.on us to see if we needed anything, like drunk refills, napkins, to go containers, and dessert. Very reasonably priced for both of us with pop and iced tea drinks.

Immediately greeted by our wonderful server, who offered our choice of table or booth. We started with the bacon wrapped brisket, which was very good. Their sauce is awesome. We had soft drinks that never went before half before being refilled, and she kept coming back to check on us. Portions were large. We had the 3 choice combos and HUGE account of fries. The cornbread was more like a leaf and tasted great. Good BBQ, nice atmosphere, and great service. WE'LL BE BACK!
