Food to me was a bit bland and unseasoned, even with the barbecue sauce it didn’t taste too well. There were hornet around and in the building. To me it wasn’t a good place to eat.

The service was awful. Both people taking orders seemed to have no idea what they were doing and their lack of communication skills was astounding. The food was bland, dry and overcooked. I don't mean like one item as we ordered three meats, chicken tenders, chicken sandwich, fries, coleslaw and mac and cheese. The only good thing was the view of the river. Somebody told me a few years ago to avoid it when we stay, but we figured we would give it a shot since there is not really any other options. Boy were we wrong.

Food is serviceable at best, but truly made me just lose my appetite.
Tasted like nothing, and the bbq is the only thing with flavor

We ordered the 3 meats and 2 sides along with the wedge salad. The wedge salad had the bare minimum toppings of tomatoes, dressing and blue cheese. The ribs were extremely fatty and the brisket was super dry. We went in a Sunday around 4 pm and we were the only diners. This restaurant has a lot of potential but unfortunately I was overall displeased with the food turnout.

Nothing I ordered tasted like it was actually smoked. I had the burnt ends and hot links. Ends were mushy and swimming in sauce. Links were rubbery. Everything tasted like it came out of a plastic bag, not a smoker. My mistake for expecting better.
