Food: No complaints, the pork and beef were both delicious. Baked beans and Cole slaw were excellent. I mean, you're in Kansas so I would actually be really surprised if the meat WASN'T good. The only downside I have is that all of the sauces were spicy (except the wimpy sauce). Now, I like spicy, don't get me wrong there, but I would think a few more options for people that can't handle spicy would help business. But I also don't know if they have a problem with business either so... it is what it is I guess!
Atmosphere: It's a little dark inside. I mean, they have TVs on and it's kind of noisy as well, but I always think to myself, what are they trying to hide keeping the lights down so low? Gum under the tables? Don't look at the busted floors? I dunno. It's not a bad thing but a little more light would be nice.
Service: Excellent service, no complaints. I think our server was new because she kept asking for our orders and came back to check often, but it was all good!
Price: Pretty inexpensive in my opinion. I think a 3 meat dinner was like 20$. Plus I think the pickle bar was pretty cool, I've seen a few places do that but I was a bit disappointed that a lot of the bins were empty and I really didn't want to bother the staff for refills. :(
Overall: Pretty solid place, I can see why the locals like it. In an area of the country where there are a TON of BBQ places, you gotta do something to stand out. I felt most of the items, except the pickle bar, were standard for any BBQ place, so owners, think about what makes you stand out and advertise that. A unique sauce? A special type of brisket? How about BBQ duck? I dunno... something unique where an out-of-towner like me can say "Wow I've never seen that before!"
