Never would have thought I’d leave a one star review of this restaurant after 25 years, but my wife was treated so badly tonight by a Spanish waitress we’ve never seen before who brought our meals out and only came back with the check. She argued with my wife over a side of cheesey corn that didn’t taste right. Told her she wasn’t going to argue with her about it and refused to take it off the ticket. Never thought a horrible, curt waitress and a bad side of cheesey corn would be the end of my dining experiences here after all these years. I guess one bad waitress can ruin a restaurant, but this one sure has. She was just so mean to my wife she cried on the way home ?

Very nice workers and a positive welcoming environment, the Mac n cheese was expensive for the small amount received.

Best steak fries, hot with crisp. Pulled pork sandwich has a good hit of smoke.Service is mom and pop, folksy and real. Beer is served and limited yet they always have a high octane craft beer. Love the place

So this is our go to barbecue joint that we like. It is smaller and a little more intimate but the food is top notch.Set in a strip mall it is in a nice location for the hotel guests in the Northland as well as easily accessible from the interstate.The owner is almost always in the kitchen and behind the counter serving up deliciousness.The food is a smokier, semisweet barbecue and cooked to perfection. The portions are just a LITTLE bit smaller than I would expect but the food is quite filling. Our favorite is the two meat dinner with the burnt ends and the brisket. The sides are quite tasty as well. My favorite being the cheesy corn.The staff are all quite friendly and outgoing. Fun to talk to and attentive.The restaurant is always clean and well kept.Vegetarian options: It is a barbecue restaurant so not too many options for a vegetarian.Parking: It is in a strip mall so parking is what it is given that type of location.Wheelchair accessibility: There are tables to get a chair under but the concrete out front leaves something to be desired. No fault of the restaurant but the management company of the strip mall.
Under pressure we ordered from this place. The wings tasted unseasoned and old. No napkins, no forks. The portions were ok though. Terrible

Great little place in a strip mall. Been there for over 20 years, so you know it is good! Love the beans! All of it is good! (Sorry for the Pic, I had already eaten half the meat!)

Was close to my hotel so, thought I would give it a try. With 4.1 stars it should be pretty good, right?. It wasn't VERY thinly sliced brisket and sausage. Meat was dry and did have any smoke taste. Good thing it was covered in BBQ sauce.

we got the air plane and wanted to eat after grabbing our rental car. the first exit out of air port said smoke box. Family ran, and the food was great and it was hot. Sweet tea was so fresh, really good. turkey ,sausage, pulled pork was fantastic, there potato sald is the bomb, steak fries so good.

Their bbq sauce was good. Their jalapeno poppers were good. Their fries are frozen steak fries. Their beans and cole slaw are good. Their brisket was not smoked and had no flavor. It was tender and thin sliced. Their pulled pork had no smoke and no flavor. The Italian sausage was thin sliced sausage bought at the store. Two meat done was $20. I tasted the beans. I will not return.
Food was good, not excellent, large portions, plastic silverware. Friendly, loved the

Simply amazing. The food. The customer service. The serving size. The price. My boyfriend and I were thoroughly impressed. I forgot to leave a review yesterday and made time today to come back and finish this. Yes. It’s that good. I’m not from here so it was very refreshing to have such great service. Food did not take long. And it was GREAT

Food wasn't bad, pretty good, I'm just a bit upset that I had to get my hands greasy just to have to eat my ribs with a fork and I guess that's what the bread was for...stupid.. if I wanted bread with my meal, I wouldn't have ordered ribs.Coleslaw was as thick potato salad, wish someone told us that we had to get our own drinks yet the waitress was serving drinks to the other tables....
