About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Kid-friendly
  • Good for groups
Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    We were sat far away. There seemed to be a shortage of servers. Finally the hostess came and took our order. The food was good, I’m sure the manager will get it straightened out.

    Ordered 4 Famous Feasts. The food was great but very small portions of the pulled pork and brisket compared to everything else. Plenty of everything else but the feast is supposed to feed 4-6 people and we had 12 people eating and each only got a small slice of brisket and about a tablespoon of pork.

    We had a group of 13. The waiter was a bit lethargic and used what felt like inefficient methods to serve us. One of our party, after being there for 20 minutes, went to the bar for a drink cuz his order had not yet been taken. Food was great - especially for varied taste preferences.

    Waitress, and managers were super friendly. They checked in with us throughout our visit to make sure all was well. They joked around and made the visit very pleasant.

    We were seated promptly, and our server took our drink order, came back with the drinks and terrific chips. We placed our order, and it didn’t seem very long until our order was served. Absolutely delicious! This place has great food!
