If you get the mac and cheese make sure to jack it up with smoked bacon ! The veggie burger (Lerner) with smoked cheese is impressive and delicious. Great selection of #craftbeers

Mark Robles

Amazing little spot, almost walked passed it! Brisket sandwich was smoked to perfection, good selection of Ontario craft beers , stout was good.

I can't think of a single dish I don't love here. I hate the fact there are tv 's everywhere but the food is so good, I keep coming back. Mac and cheese , cornbread and pulled pork are my favourites.

Anthony Trombley

It's a low key bbq pub with tables and a bar . The staff are easy to chat with and friendly . Good Canadian craft beers too.

Rod Burns

Wow - GREAT comfort food place. Jerk rib tips were great. Shaqued fries were AWESOME. Large side portion feed 6! The only criticism is the servers were not very polite.

Gadi Shamia

Nice indoor and outdoor seating . Delicious smoked brisket . Mac n' cheese was good but save the calories on something else.

Marc Chamberland

Awesome ribs !! Must come back and try some of the other items in the menu!

Dee H

Had the wings , deep fried pickles and the tips. BBQ sauce (honey chipotle) was delicious, good BBQ !

K B

Best place to eat in Ottawa! Get the pulled chicken sandwich or the St Louis style ribs . Don't forget the corn bread !

Anne Berry

Best "shaque 'd" Mac and cheese !!!! Make sure to get it shaque 'd !! Also incredible pulled pork sandwiches !!!

Stephen

Get the Piri Piri wings . Best and hottest wings in town . (NSFM)

Rico Matas

Very good jerk pork , a must try!! Rivals some of the best I've tried in Toronto.

Obadiah Poundage

"Try something from "You Gotta Eat Here!": Jamaican Jerk Pork , Sample Platter with Beef Ribs and Southern Style Greens, or The DBK

Jon Fingas

Try the shaved brisket sandwich ; it's a nice way to wolf it down quickly. Regular brisket is also worth it if you don't want to get your hands dirty .

Charysse G. R

Nice staff . Pretty good food (don't get the jerk wings , though). Poutine was okay (hated the chives ). I'd recommend it :)

Mia Melamed

Good cornbread and the chicken and waffles were amazing!!

Jesse Turner

The beef brisket is amazing and the corn bread goes great with it!! Everything is so amazing

Janet B.

If you like it hot, the piri piri wings are a must!

Cansin S

Pulled brisket sandwich was good.Burgers are ok. Not a fan of their special poutine , I definitely had better ones.

Corn on the cob is not on the menu but it is a must side order in the summer.

Pulled pork sandwich was dry and disappointing. Add BBQ sauce . Also, I didn't get what I ordered on my take-out order... I heard great things about their mac 'n cheese , but now I'll never know.
