What Guests Are Saying
My boyfriend and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat. We originally stopped at a place called Smokin Jacks but it was a loud bar atmosphere and not the restaurant it claimed. Fortunately, this place was 5 mins down the street. We were greeted warmly by a gentleman and shown the menu. The customer service was kind and welcoming, especially after a rough day I had. The food came hot and quick. Brisket was tender, sauce was absolutely DELICIOUS. My boyfriend got a pulled pork sandwich which as you can see was half done by the time I got a picture. We enjoyed the ambience and the food, can’t recommend this place enough for good barbecue with a good and welcoming customer service.
If I could give more stars I would. I am shocked I have not rated this gem before. Most BBQ tastes super salty. Here it does not. I got the rib tip and wing combo. I got the sauce on the side. Do this!!! The sauce comes out hot and stays hot forever. The food is fantastic. You need to try it here you will not be disappointed...
10 out of 10!! We ate there for the first time today, and it was soooo delicious! My husband is from the south, and said he hasn't had BBQ like this since he moved to the Midwest! I'm a vegetarian, and the Jack Fruit sliders were absolutely incredible. I also thought I hated fried okra. Until today! Loved the vibe, and the staff was awesome!!
