Awesome service, no wait on.a Friday night! Food came fast and Ed hot and Tasty with huge portions even though we share an entree! A definite must return location!

Robert Leary

Decent food all the way around. Not the best BBQ in town , but a really good option none the less. Also, a nitro tap in the bar is a bonus!

Lane Elmer

Great food and I have had great service every time I have been here. Those saying it was slow were probably here when it was busy and don't realize that they aren't the only people in the world!

Jessica

The brisket is delicious. And the new burnt ends are yummy!

Doug Leeber

Ribs and brisket fantastic! Banana pudding is great

Sarah Schroeder

Rod Sager

Been here a few times, usually after shopping at Best Buy ;) Nice place, solid variety on menu.

Karen Day-Lyon

Oh, the nachos are so huge, and you've gotta try the Kahlua brownie

Brion Lynch(Chewy)

Jrod Rodriguez

Good place for beer and ribs it is over price , service sucks

Marcia Chess

Best brisket ever! And OH the chili is spicy good.

Angie Harmon

Im from TX. The Texas sauce isn’t great (TX is a dry rub place) but the mustard sauce rocks.

Jason Duddington

When you come here plan for a little wait. It's called BBQ people! How fast can you make ribs for hundreds of people? This isn't fast food

mousepaws

They always have a drink special all day. Be sure to ask what it is. $3.50 large drinks!

Enrique Gutiérrez Arzate

Try the Nachos , they are good!

Pdxamy

Great beer selection . Double Mountain IRA. Yum

Saultite

Service and drinks are great!

Joe Paryzek

Chili is outta-this-world! (I KNOW my chili !) Jami is a great server!

Mac Heffner

Everything!

Yelena Gladchuk

Really good place to eat. Good ribs .

Grant Kieser

Rib tips and hush puppies (they call them corn fritters ). What more does one need in life?

Randy Sisto

Memphis style ribs , beer list ,

Steve Elliott

Don't get the catfish ; that's out of their skill set. The beef brisket sandwich is a much safer bet.

Jordan Howard

Chicken , ribs , chopped pork

Dan

Food is great, service sucks. I've given them two chances but they fail miserably in the speed department. Its too bad because those rib tips are amazing.

Jrod Rodriguez

Awesome place for a cascade lake blonde

Pure Romance by Rashae

Best corn muffins I've had.

Jade H

Packed. A lot of large screen TVs with ???? on

AP du Plessis

Had the Texas beef brisket sandwich and it was a total disappointment! Brisket was extremely dry and had no taste apparently was cooked hours ago. This place is over rated. Will never eat here again!!

Scott Wilson

Baby back ribs

Larry Warner

Not bad for a chain BBQ joint .

Pete McAdoo

Rib tips are awesome.

Darren Robson

Not sure what to drink? Try the sampler. $8 bucks for 6 drinks.

Jon Stainbrook

Sara is the best waitress !!

Paul Adams

my nachos were cold. the brisket on my nachos was cold. the service was slow. I'm beginning to wonder why I like this place.

Rick Dunn

Fry's were cold, pulled pork was really dry, no butter for cornbread , and a screaming baby right behind us makes for a bad night out here.

Tim Unger

Good food but ask the hostess to NOT sit you in Lawrance R section. He's too slow.

Kim Miller Yamashita

It was so good

Samantha Smith

Brisket sandwich . Enough said.

Jeremy

It's a hit and miss for me. Sometimes it is great. Other times it sucks. Hate to put it that way but it's a gamble .

matt long

Try buk a bone thursdays!

Jeremy Krall

Food might be good, but they definitely can't judge wait times when it's busy. Expect almost double what they tell you.

Redmond

Mac and Cheese all the way

Derek Dye

I think my bathroom would agree it Sucked really salty and it took forever to get our food... I think I do better on the traeger... Don't recommend it.
