    We were in town for a sporting event and were so happy we found this place. We had the meat sampler and it was all amazing. We were impressed with the side dishes as well, especially the broccoli salad. The service was great along a nice, clean atmosphere. We will definitely be back when we are in town.

    I'm an elderly lady that not been feeling well, yet I got out in the horrible weather because I've felt so down. My waitress rolled her eyes and was irritated with me for asking questions? She keep looking around and the body language told it all. I'm on a fixed budget I ordered a BBQ sandwich and my two sides. I got cold food and dry BBQ it almost choked me with my cup empty all i had was ice? It was awful then I asked for my food to be warmed and got horrible attitude from owner. My meal had turned from 6.00 BBQ to 23.00 from 3.00 each sides upgrade each pricing. Dang, talk about bait and switch, please beware! I'm disgusted by how i was treated, the rudeness, then undisclosed pricing, and over all its not worth it. Please take note any senior on fixed income please beware go elsewhere! Save your money for bills and meds! This place is a rip off enjoy Chinese or something else where you get your money's worth!! Instead BBQing meay maybe you should go into the leather tooling business. Per reviews and attitude this owner seems to be a very angry person. The reviews seem to all have the same narratives with no attempt to fix issues for customers just berate them for honest reviews.

    What an awful experience and waste of 53.?? For only two people! Even butter is on menu for .75 cents! Save your money and go to POP’s. Owner finally come out to speak to us and rude to our family, they have cold fries, over cooked chicken strips, leathery slices of chicken. We did have an amazing baked potato, but we all can get that anywhere! Nevertheless less, the owner was extremely rude to my husband, my sister, and 73 year old mother. Didn’t want to hear our concerns pushed it off that he had no complaints today! Well obviously no one had given him constructive criticism to help save his business from failure! No one that spends their hard earned money wants someone talking down to them, especially after getting horrible food! Yesterday’s meat maybe that hadn’t sold??? We will never go back! Oh yeah, surprised also each side carried an additional charge of 2.99 each. So 6.00 each was added to our 14.00 to 16.00 meal! If you’re silly enough to go instead spend 50.00 bucks for some steak at Texas Roadhouse or enjoying BlazingTrails BbQ who treats their customers amazing… you will regret it!
