OH MY GOSH! This place was AMAZING!!!! The pig wings blew-my-mind. Just do it!! Even if you don’t normally get “wings”… trust me. The loaded tots and pulled pork soooo good!!!!

I can't say enough about this place. Pulled pork, brisket, hot sauce, and their house bbq sauces are all phenomenal. If you're anywhere in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and stop in. The hostesses and the waitress were all amazing. Don't forget to bring an extra $10 to tip the cooks, they absolutely deserve it!

Had the brisket lovers combo, brisket was really tasty. Thought it was a little expensive for $30 but everything was fresh, hot and tasted good. Also had a side of ribs where were great. Really enjoyed the Carolina BBQ sauce. The entire restaurant was busy which was a good sign, would recommend if you’re in the area.

When I visited in September, they only carried local craft beer. & I believe Miller lite.

When are you guys closing for the season?

Hi - good news! We actually won't be closing up shop after this season. Our hours will cut back beginning November 1, but it will be very similar to last year where we stay open every Thursday - Sunday. Stay tuned for an official announcement on social media soon!

Hi Kathy, we LOVE animals and your pup is more than welcome to hang out on our patio. NYS even allows it as of last summer. We also accommodate your furry pals with fresh water and beggin' strips at their request. I will warn you: the entire staff will ask if petting is allowed.
