“ Love the food and service! This is now a family favorite restaurant for BBQ ribs and smoked wings! ”
“ The decoration was classy.Service was a bit slow but everyone was nice.But their chicken tenders are the best I've had in a very long time,when I say best,I've been to over 50+ restaurants with chicken but these are the best.The chips are homemade and the fries are wonderful.Although I'm not from around Shelby area,I would drive the 45minutes-1hr to eat here again,the price per person is about $15 but that depends on appetizers. ”
“ Well, for our first visit... they knocked it out of the park. The cheese curds were delicious. Sweet tea awesome! The pulled pork and brisket were the bombdiggity. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. However, the wait was a bit much, no lie, it was long. And, the "waiting room" the old sofas kinda stink. But, other than that it was an enjoyable lunch. Definitely recommend but go early. ”
“ The cowboy quesadillas are amazing!!! They definitely do not skimp on the meat and the sauce adds the best Smokey tangy sweetness! ”
“ A true gem worth the drive. No corner cutting and great service. The value here is impossible to beat anywhere else and the options cater to everyone, given it's an Onsite bbq smokehouse operation, not a salad bar or sushi place. The fried cheese curds and smoked wings were the reason I'll return regularly now. Everyone has strong opinions about meat and sauces so I'll be productive and just say the beef and pork on the generous sampler platter are perfect in how they're prepared and leave it at that. Not too much smoke, juicy and made to order. Ask for the "Weenis Plate" and have a High Life Pony bottle while you wait! ”
