Good bbq,a solid 8 out of 10.Friendly staff,cool atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend it,and would have rated it higher,but I'm addicted to a tiny bbq place in Connecticut, Lou and Zach's, that is probably one of the best bbq joints on earth,hands down.

Spent a few hours at Fort Williams with the kiddos today and decided to stop in for late lunch/early einner. the food was absolutely some of the absolute best BBQ I've ever had. Although it's not what you would think of for a "kid's place" the kids meals were large, and very good. all of us had a blast we will be back again!

We found this place by accident and I’m really glad we did! The brisket was tender and tasty, the ribs fell off the bone. Best vinegar slaw I’ve had outside of Memphis. Sweet cornbread topped it off. Parking lot isn’t full but don’t let that scare you - looks like most people walked there from the neighborhood. Excellent and you’ll be glad you went. 

Business response:

Thank you so much for this review, Karen! We're happy to hear you loved the brisket - and the slaw! Cheers.

I have been coming here since this establishment opened. Have always been a huge fan. Have held multiple family events here. They have a new manager and age sucks - we have a new policy if you are a table with under 4 you don’t get seated. You are not first priority. Had a booth open for 25 minutes no one sitting there and was told that my party of 3 isn’t allowed since we aren’t big enough. When did our local place get snobby. Wow. She was rude and I can’t believe that the owner hired this person.

We always have the best food and experience. We love to sit at the bar area that overlooks the wood fired grill. It’s amazing to watch them work. Kevin does an amazing job! 

Business response:

Thank you, Susan! We're so glad you like to watch the magic at the wood fired grill. See you again soon!
