Fantastic BBQ! Had my first experience there this past Friday. Pulled pork was flavorful, the coleslaw matched with it perfectly. House sauces were tasty, especially the spicy one. But hands down the best thing I bad was the brisket! I've never really had a good brisket, always seem to get really tough brisket. But this was like fillet mignon! Super tender, great smokey flavor. I'll be back! 

Business response:

Thanks Rich, Glad you enjoyed.

Out of Brisket, out of orange Nehi soda. Most of their menu items contain brisket so they literally are out about half their menu. Waited 1/2 hour to be seated on a Wednesday night. Didn't bring silverware or plates for the appetizer. Not pleased. Won't be back and can't recommend. Our server was very nice and we could see that the situation was a bit out of his control.

Our food was excellent for the second time and the service very friendly and attentive. For the price point . . . excellent! Great prices for very tasty food. For folks that want to tear it to pieces based on the name of a cocktail or the fact that their wasn't enough of something LIGHTEN UP! It's casual, friendly, very tasty and a refreshing place to go. Not as edgy as some of the other wonderful spots in OTR - but they know good service and good flavor.

Thanks Kathleen!

This place is awesome, and reading the reviews makes me want to scream at all you hipsters who only make negative reviews. If it's not for you, go somewhere else. I happen to think the Purple Drink was delicious and cleverly named. The food and beverage was amazing, as well as the service. Being bitchy towards personal preference things is ridiculous!

I came in with my Dad for Father's Day around 11:30. My Dad loves ribs and that was the plan... Until I was informed the ribs wouldn't be ready until 2:00 as they take 16 hours to smoke. Perhaps you should adjust when they go in... Especially on FATHERS DAY. Your sides were basic and not memorable. The service was ok. I won't be back.

First off our server was downright weird and made us feel uncomfortable. The brisket sandwich was $11 and barely any meat and a lot of it was fat. The French fries I think came out of an Ore Ida bag and the mac n cheese was so sticky you could barely open your mouth, and flavorless. Total bill was $30 for 2 sandwiches and 2 sides...outrageous! Definitely won't be going back! Will stick with Bakersfield and The Eagle!
