Small BBQ shop. Pick up only. Plates or larger portions to go. There are picnic tables outside beside a nice pond. No covered seating. The portions are large. You can get BBQ pork, chicken or ribs. $11 Plates includes rice and hash, roll and 1 side. Dessert is $2. We got banana creme pudding. Drinks are in the cooler. Very good BBQ. I added some vinegar sauce to mine. I will definitely be back to support a local family business!Vegetarian options: I didn't see any vegetarian options.Parking: A few spaces near the door. More parking along the back

Stop by before closing & ordered 2 meals Togo - chicken & pork. Ordered some ribs on the side. Chicken was excellent - smoky, tender fall off bone & tasty. Hash over rice was different & very tasty. Chopped pork was ok, fresh meat & some smoke. Green beans & baked beans all good. Ribs had a bite on the bark & tender inside, sweet red sauce. They also have the mustard version. Large portions & reasonably prices. A hidden gem.

Always love those $5.00 BBQ sandwiches. Personally I don't even need the sauce. Only open Friday and Saturday but I have called in on a Thursday and placed a pick up order for a certain time on Friday with them.

…. perfect little bbq place. no seatings available inside but you can sit lake side if the weather let you do it. we had bbq sandwich and some ribs - awesome taste!

Really good barbecue, only thing you have to get there early if you want to have some, they sell out quick.
I can't quite figure out why this place is so beloved. The pork comes with sauce already mixed in, and it tastes like plain yellow mustard. You'll never know if the pork is any good on its own. Hash has the same sauce in it too, and it's also weirdly watery. I guess if you love cheap yellow mustard then you will like this place, but it wasn't for me.

It's to go bbq.Outstanding!! Chopped meat, rib meat, so good. No sauce needed!!5 bucks for a chopped meat sandwich!!
While the food and portions were good. It would be nice to be greeted with the same enthusiasm as their regular customers...but it was the end of the day. Maybe they were too tired to entertain a new customer...but if in the area, I would patronize again.
Best barbecue in town!
