★★★☆☆ 3.0 Joshua Hupp · Jul 2023

Being from Kansas City, I’ve had a LOT of BBQ. I know good barbecue and this wasn’t it. The meat was so dry the only way it was edible was to douse it in BBQ sauce. The “red” sauce was good, but a brown gravy “sauce” on my BBQ… no thanks. The fries were standard. Service was friendly, so no complaints there. The seats could use an update. I don’t mind “old diner” atmosphere, but you can do it without ripped seats. If you’re looking for good BBQ, go elsewhere.

The food was good but they charge you extra for everything is cheese, ranch sauce for my fries and I was even charged extra for mt choice of meat temperature! It has a small menu with not much selection. I won't be back.

This used to be one of my favorite places to go, so imagine my surprise when I spent $27 on ribs, and they were like chewing on leather every single one of them. I don't mind spending $27 on a meal if they meet expectations. I gave up on the 6th rib and through the rest of into the garbage. The french fries were nothing but bits and pieces of fries. I just couldn't believe how bad the whole meal was. Sadly, I'm not happy about this review, and I won't be returning anytime soon. When I say it was like eating leather I'm not joking.
