“I'll confess to being a BBQ snob up front. First thing I look for is smoke in the sky, and it was there, coming from a single cooker outside and under roof. Next thing I look for is a dried wood pile, but didn't see one, so the taste may be the product of good engineering rather than hickory smoke. Inside, you can seat yourself and order from a phone, or stand in line at the register, take a number sign, and your order will find you at your table relatively soon, even when the place was packed nearly full, vas it was today.I had a pulled pork dish without the bun. It was pretty good, and laced with burnt ends (which I prefer), and then I noticed from a sign on the wall that this is a Wednesday specialty. Serving size was about right, but perhaps a teensy bit dry; the order of onion rings was overdone and skimpy. As I left, I noticed a waiter taking a tray of food to a parked car, apparently due to the scarcity of inside seating at a busy time. There are some picnic tables outside, but unused today due to rain.Would I return? Yes, probably I will, just to try other menu items.“

“The food was great. The atmosphere was down a bit because it was grad weekend. It wasn't busy enough to have the pace of our service but my assumption is some was new to the staff, or perhaps just feeling the weekend a little bit. Either way nothing to complain about other the pace. Food is always great even with the limited menu for the big weekend. Salad and burgers are great. Fries are next level.“

“Absolutely the best BBQ I’ve ever eaten! My entire family loves the food. The pulled pork pigpen meal is like taking a bite of heaven no joke. If you enjoy quality food this is the place. The brisket is amazing also! I hope this review helps because it’s hard to find good bbq these days and this is the real deal. I’ve eaten multiple times and pig iron is up to standards every time!!!“

“Great bbq, good mini-atmosphere inside a retail store (inside a Rocky mtn outlet retail store). They set expectations from the get go with a sign on your table that basically says this isn’t fast food, we cook to order, so it’ll take a hot minute for kitchen goodness to make it to your table - and it sure was delish and worth the wait! The pulled pork was smoky, tender, and juicy. , the house made bacon in a very fresh mixed green salad with just the right amount of red onion, cheddar and tomato was fantastic. The beer cheese dip for pretzels tasted homemade and perfectly balanced. The raspberry wine slushy wa a little too sweet for my taste but was still refreshing. Overall meal and experience worth the 20 min drive from OU.“
