Al DoanMarch 14, 2014Skip the brisket and the beans. They were pretty bad. The ribs and Mac and cheese were strong though
Sit at the bar if you want to avoid the wait. Full menu available.
Nick GorczynskiAugust 11, 2014The portions are huge, like such that a big burly biker would want, so even though you'll want to – don't over order.
Elizabeth BursteinFebruary 17, 2019Bomb! <3 the combo platter we did with 3 meats: brisket, st louis ribs+ chicken. St louis rib fav with their bomb bbq sauce. The corn bread, chopped salad, fries were ok. Blue Moon goes well with it!

Puu KampolratanaJanuary 2, 2015Walked in at 7pm on Thursday and waited for an hour and a half for a table of 6. You can imagine how hungry we were. Food was okay. Wait-staff weren't that great. Took them 15 mins to get us water.
Vegetarians don't be afraid to try the veggie sandwiches.
Rock RainesNovember 13, 2014Decent Reuben sandwich I guess but it took them exactly 19 minutes to make it for me. Place is kinda empty too. Oh well, Mighty Quinn's is better anyway.
Anthony RobertsNovember 19, 2013Insanely full for just opening.. you don't exactly feel special.. smoke joint bettter
Lauren HansenApril 12, 2015Brisket was meh, meat wasn't super hot, but would definitely venture back for the pulled pork and corn bread.
