The high ratings gravitated us here, parking is a bit tricky coming off Rt 23, so we just parked at the adjacent lot. We ordered to stay, occupying one of the two raised tables for two with high-chairs (place is mostly for take-out). Food was clean and tasty (not swimming in grease or overly sweet or salty). We ordered sandwiches:
Bulldog; Brisket and Mac & Cheese with pickles and Kansas BBQ sauce served on Texas toast.
The Colt: Pulled pork topped with coleslaw green onions and South Carolina sauce served on Texas toast.
Sides: German potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, and Mac & Cheese.
The Mac & Cheese was my least favorite.
(The rest of my party liked it.)
Loved the German potato salad, and especially the cole slaw, as it was my first time trying it made this way.
Chef Eric shared his love for cooking, and told us about his Facebook page, which is worth checking out.
We were in the mood for bbq and found a great spot not too far from home. Everything was great and the meats(we had the pulled pork & brisket) were so moist and tender but my fav were the baked beans! They tasted so good and there was some sort of a sweetness to them. We def want to go back and try everything on the menu!
Love having something different in this area where food seems to be an afterthought for most places. For that alone this place gets 5 stars.
The best thing I have had is by far the brisket. Over mac n cheese or the specialty sandwich they make it's just incredible and the reason I keep coming. Pulled pork is good as well. For some reason I found the chicken to be the least favorite of them all but that's ok. I enjoyed the wings which had a great smoky flavor paired with whatever sauce you choose but sadly I probably can't justify getting them again at the price they are asking.
About the only other thing I can hope for is a few more things added to the menu someday or maybe some weekly specials since it's a very small menu.
I absolutely love this place and the workers. Food is amazing and consistent every time. Warm, filling, not fatty, moist, and great taste. I cannot say enough good things about this small hidden gem.
I usually get a dinner portion If pulled chicken and Mac n cheese and save the leftovers for the next day.
