Ordered through DoorDash. The brisket was melt in your mouth. The pulled pork was moist, tender, flavorful and delicious even without the BBQ sauce. Chicken was....delightful. My husband, who is a coleslaw snob, devoured it. I ordered the sweet potatoes (heavenly) and the dill potato salad (a bit heavy on the mayo, but 100% the dill flavor we were after. We ordered all the sauces (only got 3 of the five); they were delicious and very different flavor profiles. You can never go wrong with the cornbread tops. Even though there was 1 minor hiccup with the sauces, the food made up for it. The only thing we regret is not trying this place sooner.

Awesome ribs and brisket! Worth a try if you're a fan of grilled meat! Fast service as you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Many choices of sauces table-side to suit your taste! Great Mac & Cheese! Very casual and kid friendly! Definitely coming back!

This place is delicious. Easy to find and parking lot up front. We ordered one of the combinations to try and it did not disappoint. Juicy and flavorful. The potato salad was bomb! I'm usually not a potato salad fan, but I was loving these. Plus they have a variety of sauces to choose from. Service was great, ordered at the front counter and someone brings to your table. Ambiance is like a country bar with high tables and chairs.

Bbq, chicken and dill potato salad were pretty good. My husband and I were both impressed by the customer service from the moment we ordered to our check in experience while dining in. I also really like the decor here!

First things first, I ordered through doordash, and the meal came well packaged (no leaks, spills, food sticking out). My partner got a sandwich, which he liked, and I got 2 kid's meals (realized I'd get more bang for my buck). Each meal came with 1 side, a kids' size drink, and a 2pk of oreos. We also ordered cornbread, which was sweet, soft, moist, and tasty. The ribs and chicken were both good in flavor and texture. For the sauces, got the Southern Gal, which had a mild sweetness, and Chicago Fire, which was low on the spicy scale, but still good. The only con was that the mac and cheese; it was just colored noodles... no visible cheese. Overall, it was a fine experience, and I'd order again.

Only ever ordered takeout from here so can't comment on the actual restaurant space but our food has always been pretty decent. I have liked their brisket,pulled pork and ribs they all have a nice smoky flavor. On our last order they did forget to add the bbq sauce even though they charged us , so note to self to always check your bags for correct or missing items before leaving the parking lot! I do think it's little overpriced for portion size but again it is grilled meats and with inflation that's expected

My friend bought ribs from here once and I knew I had to go get some as soon as I had a sample. Absolutely delicious ribs! I added the Chicago fire bbq sauce and it was absolutely delicious. The potatoes in my opinion needed more butter or salt because they were bland to me. Corn bread was soooo good! Definitely spendy as it is ribs however worth every penny! Service was great and loved the decor theme in the restaurant. Highly recommend!

This place was delicious! Didn't expect to find a great BBQ spot in Minnesota! We got the Pittmaster's Feast which came with a whole slab of ribs, whole chicken, pulled pork, cole slaw, beans, and mashed potatoes. You also got a whole bottle of sauce to take home for free. We also ordered an additional side of mac and cheese. My favorite was the ribs. It was more of a dry rub but it was perfect! Not dry at all and whatever seasoning they used on it was perfect. There were several different types of BBQ sauces to choose from but of course my favorite was the sweet and tangy Chicago style sauce. My second favorite was the mashed potatoes. Holy cow the flavor of it was amazing! I'm not a big mashed potatoes person so for me to love theirs means a lot! The chicken was really good as well. I'm not a pulled pork person so I left that for the rest of my family. Ambiance here was pretty chill. Was a rustic feel with wooden tables, both high booth style ones and regular sized tables. We had a big group of 12 so we split up into 3 tables but all was good! Will definitely come here again and highly recommend to anyone in the area!
