Absolutely love this restaurant! I have NEVER had a bad dish and I've eaten there and gotten take out many times. They also now have cocktails! The owner is always there and comes out to say hello and she asks how everything is and you can tell she really cares! They have undergone some changes over last couple years but all changes have been positive in my opinion and the atmosphere is great!

Best smokehouse in the area. Food was amazing. Drink was very smooth. Atmosphere was very relaxed. Location on Lincolnway right across from the park was perfect.

Don't use Door Dash for here, they #1 pick up your food and don't deliver, or #2 They send multiple drivers for your order and you get double charged. Call in, or do an online order for self pick-up. I love going here, especially now that they have their 3 way liquor license. BBQ Ribs, or Brisket and burbon or a great combination. All their staff are excellent as well. Had their hearty chicken soup and Cornbread perfect for this cold weather.

What an amazing experience! If you have not been here, you are truly missing out!!! Bartender was amazing, food is melt in your mouth delicious!! We got there around 2 pm when the brisket was done smoking after 16 hours, (they do this daily!!), and we hit the jackpot! No matter how full you are you will keep eating!! OMG! Indoor and outdoor seating!

We had the most wonderful experience here tonight. The food was absolutely amazing. Super fresh and full of flavor. Great cocktail options (full bar)and the most friendly staff. We will definitely be coming back to try even more food and bring our kids to enjoy it. The atmosphere was very relaxing and laid back which is super nice and they have amazing views of the park downtown.

Best barbecue I’ve had in a while. Ribs were fall off the bones. Pulled pork was juicy. The brisket was sublime great cuts of meat. Our server was very helpful and just amazing vibes altogether. Everything he recommended was spot on his vibes alone were great. The atmosphere was amazing. Live singers and guitarist. They were amazing added great livery to the place. By far 10/10 review for me. Everything was amazing. The peanut butter and jelly shots are amazing as well.
