A bbq resturant in a smaller town in Illinois. The resturant has plenty of room to fit a large party and of you want there is an event center that you can use. The brisket was fair. Seemed like it was not overly flavorful otherwise approved.

I ordered to go. And when I got back home I saw my food and it was burnt. Not bark. Burnt. This is so bad. I couldn’t bring myself to go back.

This was last stop on our way back from Gatlinburg TN trio. It was best food WHOLE vacation! First off, server was the best!!!! We thought he was the owner! Lol! Our food was absolutely delicious!!! I can't say enough good things. I had ribs, beans, n yum yum potatoes. Yes they are yummy! Husband had pork loin sandwich. Delicious. Sister had chicken. Dessert to go were HUGE chocolate chip cookie with chocolate filling n chocolate to drizzle over at home. We had to leave the ice cream off since still traveling and added at home! Top notch service n food!!! Run....don't walk there! Our server said he always leaves the light on for ya!

Love this place! We had fantastic service. The inside was nice and cool on a hot day. They have the best ribs around - the meat was melt in your mouth tender. The sides are all excellent- loved the baked beans. Can’t wait to come back again! They have a large patio outside for dining. The menu has tons of options as well as kids items.

We stopped by the restaurant for lunch while on a road trip from Baltimore to the Twin Cities. A large party arrived just a few minutes after we sat down. We were concerned that we would have a long wait; however, our waiter handled the situation well. She kept a friendly smile on her face and got all orders taken care of and served quickly. We enjoyed our food and were back on the road without delay.

The food is delicious but the service is always terrible. We come back because of the food but not sure if that will happen again. Been here for 1.5 hours and finally got our food. Service was terrible again. Had to go find our waitress to get our checks. Then took them to her while she was standing at a table with four other employees just chatting and laughing and doing nothing. We watched four tables of people get up and walk out while we were there some who never even got greeted at all. If they fixed the issues with the service and how long the food takes to come out this place would be a 5 star for sure.

In response to the owner we don't know her name as she never told us. She is the waitress who dropped a whole try of drinks on an elderly woman as she was bringing them to our table tonight. Also Senic drive weekend or not the service is always this slow.

To bad they didn't put the effort into their food that they did with decorating. Arrived about 12:45 on a Wednesday. Ordered Pulled pork and fries, pulled pork and onion straws. The best thing I can say is the frozen fries were good. Both sandwiches were cold and slimey. The waitress who was very friendly immediately went to get us two new sandwiches.

She said the cook warmed these on the grill instead of the steam table. They were warm is the best i can about the sandwiches.
The wife got onion straws. They must have also come from the steam table. Inedible.
I asked for the BBQ. The waitress pointed at the single unmarked squeeze bottle on the table. Some kind of vinegar based liquid.

We drove an hour to try this place. Really wanted it to be good. Very disappointing. The place looks awesome. It would be a good place to open a BBQ restaurant.

We go on BBQ vacations. Texas to NC, Mississippi to Chicago. This is one star level.
