I stopped in to get a snack. I ended up getting the half of ribs and the chicken combo with a drink. Absolutely amazing Hb entire thing and then Sam this is good BBQ. Not just another barbecue spot. This place knows how to cook. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

The food and service was good. I hand the rib tips. They were tender and very flavorful. I chose the fries and baked beans as my sided. I'm definitely going back

The restaurant and restrooms are clean. Staff is friendly. The gyro is huge! The gyro meat is fresh sliced and delicious. There is enough meat and feta to make 2 sandwiches! The baby back ribs were okay. They were tender. Sauce is a bit too sweet for my liking. I prefer more smoke and heat! The Greek potatoes were good. It's worth the visit if you are in town. Stop on by! ?

Unfortunately this was absolutely the worst barbecue I have ever had.I ordered a pulled pork plate and it was literally sugary soup, with meat in it.The sauce was a nasty sugar-based something (that was not bbq)… it was mostly sugar and had no semblance of a bbq flavor you could recognize.The ketchup is a cheap sauce.All of the sauces feel like knock offs.You know it’s bad when the sauce is sweeter than your soda.There is no way to enjoy a variety of sauces… they only have the one option.Great atmosphere… nice people… horrible sauces.

10 out of 10 the best ribs I've ever had! I don't get barbecue sauce on them because I'm in Keto- and they are still delicious! The ribs have sooo much flavor and literally fall off the bone! I love that it's a family owned business and everyone working there is so nice. They have a nice eating area if you eat their very nice place to eat!

Not my 1st visit here, but it was the worst. The food was decent, and the service was terrible... nobody seemed to care. Small order for 2 took almost 15 minutes to fulfill, and they left out 1 of the sandwiches. Didnt apologize for the omission whatsoever. Mac n Cheese is literally Kraft box mac and cheese... stay away, many better BBQ options in town.

This place has gone downhill. It was always overpriced,but now it's overpriced with LESS food,and most importantly, the food quality went down. $25 for 2 chicken breasts and 3oz of Greek potatoes is ridiculous,especially when they serve dry chicken. 3 separate orders.We all had some type of chicken-it was ALL dry. I had the wood pit combo,it was all bad. I mean, throw it out bad. My baked beans were ok. My 'brisket' was FULL of fatty,unchewable meat,and old,freezer burned pot roast. My Greek potatoes were dry, and my ribs were 3 tiny bones with no meat on them. I don't know what happened to this place,but I can't recommend that anyone go there;they have seriously compromised the quality of their food, and that's not cool. Don't serve freezer burned meat(see picture). You can't raise the prices drastically and serve worse quality food..just,no!

3% service charge on all debit/credit cards so use cash if want to avoid that. Cashier/cook very knowledgeable with the menu and food choices. Got the chicken gyro and he knew the cucumber sauce is the right choice and not honey mustard. Feta cheese was $3 but when I got it they gave me two blocks of cheese which is a steal that price. Ordered cheese and BBQ sauce for the fries and the BBQ is my favorite. Gave me so much meat too and was very juicy had to ask for a box. $31 overall for my meal but that's pretty much standard in that area of naperville anyways. Definitely 100% better than Nick's/nicky's.

A Western themed restaurant with good service and good selection of barbecue food.We had the Beef brisket platter & Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Both pretty tasty.This place is definitely worth the visit ?

Everything comes smothered in bbq sauce . They don’t tell you that or give you option . Not really authentic way to serve brisket or bbq . Very bland over all 4/10
