My husband and I went here for the first time for lunch today and it we loved our food. I had a veggie wrap and my husband had bbq ribs with a side of mac n cheese and garlic bread - it was all really good! We also tried 4 different dipping sauces and they were all tasty. We left there so full and satisfied. The waitress and chef were very friendly. We'll be back!

Grand opening review. Only 2 workers (cashier and cook). Too quiet. BBQ joint with brews in the name should have a lively atmosphere. Seems like everyone is whispering at each table. No music. One small TV is installed but not turned on. No beers on tap as of 8/24/2018. Not installed yet. Looks like self serve ice cream will be made available soon. Outdoor seating is shared with neighboring Yogurtland.

Really great BBQ. Really great beer selection (and pairs very well with the BBQ menu).

The food is amazing! Something for everyone, I had the brisket and it's the best I've had west of Texas! Nice and juicy with a good char on the side. The salad options are pretty special. Can't wait to come back and try more items. Service is great, a real hidden gem.

The food was really awesome, I had the brisket, it was so good. The meat was tender and the fat was buttery, it had an excellent amount of salt. The sauce was really tangy which was perfect for my side of bread and the beans were hearty and flavorful with the right amount of tenderness. The customer service when I came in was exceptionally high, really setting a standard. Overall it was an excellent BBQ experience.

I have a delicious and healthy portion of brisket and Lamb that needed no barbecue sauce. The sauce was delicious, but the meat didn't need it. Instead I add the sauce to my beans witch made them excellent. Also, the recommended lager was very satisfying. Yes, I walked away very satisfied.

My first time here and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich (amazing) my wife ordered the tri tip sandwich ( amazing) my son ate ribs also 10 out of 10. Honestly the meat was so great that for most of the sandwich I did not put the barbecue sauce on until the end. I enjoyed my meal so much I thanked the owner personally. He was extremely busy at the time but stopped what he was doing and thanked me. Honestly the owner was so nice and the young man at the register was so polite with great customer service that I would go again even if the food wasn’t as great as it was.

Local BBQ spot with a clean, on trend interior. Lots of TV screens to watch sports on. Brisket plate was spot-on. It had a perfect mix of juicy and lean slices on the plate. The mac and cheese definitely had the country style vibe and was pretty good. Overall, definitely a great local place that doesn't taste as bland as corporate cookie cutter BBQ. P.S. Customer service is on point!
