Good food, friendly people, amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend for those who want something that feels like it came out of a great backyard BBQ. Portions are good and not over the top. Very sensible. The price of a meal left me feeling like I should have paid more. It's that good!

Service has always been good. Their smoked turkey leaves nothing to be desired. They have a wide variety of barbecue sauces, with something to please most palates.

The brisket was some of the best I've had. If you want an "off the beaten path" local joint feel, this place is nice. They were clearly caught off guard by having several families arrive at once, causing quite a wait. The food was totally worth the wait. I'm not big on eating in a bar, and that is kinda the feel of this place, but I had a nice conversation over a really good meal. If I remember right, the price was also very reasonable.

New favorite place for romantic dinner. I love it, I got the brick house combo and sweet potato fries. Everything was amazing and I should have gotten the Waiter's name because I would definitely ask for him next time. Wonderful service, I couldn't ask for better.

I ordered the brisket plate here on one of my days traveling back home from work. I was in no way dissapointed. The staff was awesome also. They were busy, but made a very clear effort to do their job annd do it well.

Great bar and restaurant we just ate at the high top and watched the SU game. We tried a few of the appetizers to share at the table. The brussel sprouts were maybe the best I've ever had. I ordered a side for dinner instead of the chips. The brisket sandwich was solid. The mac and cheese must have been great it didn't make it around the table. Maybe onions in it?
