Great BBQ - definitely going back for the ribs. The outside seating is bearable but the bugs were not. I wish they would have lit the candles. Prices were good, loved the glass bottled sodas!

We live out of town and always drive by on our way to Reds games. We knew it had to be good because of the long lines we've seen. After eating here today for the first time I can now say I have eaten the best pulled pork in my 57 years! Really enjoyed the record music too! Highly recommend!!

My buddy and I were going on a sight seeing road trip through Ohio and were looking for a place to eat. Pleasantly surprised by this BBQ place. They don't take card so bring cash but you definitely get your money's worth.

Was visiting from out of town and stopped in today around 1pm. Got a half rack of ribs and rib tips. Wanted to like them, but honestly, the meat was tough. I suspect whoever was on rib duty today rushed them, which frankly you just can't do with BBQ. Slow and steady is the way to go.

Just eat here. Don't ask questions. Just do it! Best BBQ in the city.

Don't agree with the hype. Ribs are good but the sides are very bland. Sitting outside on picnic tables with people who seemed annoyed, screaming babies and barking dogs is not my idea of a nice dinner out.
