Did he ever deliver except on the not too much requirement, gave me much more than I paid for. Everything I had was delicious for a great price. For ~20$ he let me sample almost everything on the menu, including all the sauces. The New Orleans sauce was by far my favorite, the armadillo eggs and banana pudding were amazing. Anytime I drive through again I will be stopping here. Awesome hole in the wall experience.

Evenings can get busy but they keep the food refreshed and there's no significant wait. We were traveling through the area a couple of years ago and kinda stumbled upon this little spot since we were staying nearby. We never miss it now when we come back!

I went back and grabbed my mama and walked her back there to see it and we talked to some nice customers, one used to work there when she was younger! Servers were so kind! Great memory with my mama!

In the area for a few days and stopped in to try this place out. I highly recommend if you're ever…read morein Brookfield. First I had the loaded fries with shredded cheese and burnt ends. These were really strong. The burnt ends were really solid and the fries they had them on top of were done right with a touch of seasoning. They didn't skimp on the cheese either. I also tried the brisket melt with pepper Jack cheese with a side of potato salad. This sandwich was really good. I was a fan of the spicy Mayo they used with the sandwich as well. The potato salad was also strong! I've always been a fan of a mustard based potato salad. Worth a stop.

For my first time eating at this restaurant, I ordered the sampler with pulled pork, ribs, and…read moresliced brisket with sides of coleslaw and baked beans. My total cost ran about $20 including a $1 charge for using a card instead of cash. I expected great things, but honestly was really disappointed. After driving home & opening my to-go bag a short 5 min after receiving my food, I noticed that they didn't include any plasticware or napkins. Additionally, the 3 meats were room temperature at the best. (Not great when eating BBQ.) The baked beans was the only piping hot part of the meal. The ribs were pretty bland and honestly tasted like they had been sitting out under a warmer for awhile, as they weren't fall-off-the bone tender by any means. The pulled pork was mixed with some sort of sauce and the meat was bland, mushy, and reminded me of school lunches. The only saving grace was that the sliced brisket was able to be dunked in the sauce to give it flavor. The sauce is the only reason I rated this meal a 3/5 - while it is a very watery sauce, the flavors blend nicely together and there is a slight kick at the end! Overall though, if meat needs sauce to be decent, it's probably not great bbq in the first place. Maybe this was just an off-day for the restaurant? I ended up only eating half of the BBQ and instead eating my day old salad in the fridge. I'm pretty bummed.

PS: Ma'am your blue/violet hair was awesome! Wet Bandana with pork and brisket. Wet describes it. The sauce is very sweet BBQ on garlic toast (perfectly grilled toast/btw). Next time I will go with the 2 meat platter, so I can taste the meat.. I did taste test the original sauce and liked it better. The potato salad was great.

The sandwich was really good and pretty filling. Towards the end, I was just pickin' the meat out and leavin' the bun. They offered 5 different sauces and the hot is HOT. The other one (can't remember which one) got dumped on my sandwich! Hubby had Pulled Pork Tacos with slaw on them and I heard NO complaints from him.

Very cool building with a nice outdoor area. Super busy, which was a good sign. But maybe that's…read morejust because there's not many choices, since the food was not so great. My son got a "Jesse" (pork with mac&cheese), but it was incredibly uninspiring: just pork and mac&cheese in a gluey tortilla. It was mediocre even for a kid. The pork was kinda wet, like it had come from a crock pot. My beef rib was appropriately huge, but there was a tremendous amount of inedible gristle, fat, and sinew. The waitress said "yeah, that's how they are." So maybe that's my bad for having the wrong expectations. The fries were not very crispy and made my daughter's pork fries kinda sad. I don't judge service after one visit, but while the hostesses were great, the waitress was surprisingly abrupt (after taking our order, she just wandered off, rather than saying "I'll put that in" or repeating the order back or any other pleasantry). On the positive side, the broccoli salad, coleslaw, and green beans were very good. All in all, my expectations were too high. It wasn't bad, so we woudln't mind eating here again, but we probably won't.

It's a smoke house... order MEAT! They brought a mini cornbread to the table right off. It's good. I will ask for more butter for it. We ordered a meat daddy platter which says served 4-6. I would agree. We wanted lots of leftovers. We got burnt ends, pork belly burnt ends, pulled pork, sliced brisket and corned beef. The burnt ends were to die for! The pork belly--ooh my G! Got the Mac n cheese and twice baked potato, fries and it came with more cornbread and pickles. I also ordered a small side of Cole slaw. Because you have to try the slaw... Twice baked pot stuff is good. But not amazing too me. I would put in more cheese and bacon. Not whip potato so much. Or maybe they are instant. But good flavor Mac n Cheese was epic! I can imagine how good the meals with the Mac n cheese and meat are. Pickles are excellent. Crunchy/dilly Coleslaw is really good. I LOvE a vinegar based slaw and this has a mayo dressing but it's light and not drowning the cabbage. It tastes great. Got a small baked beans because I wanted to try it. No self control. They were AMAZING! Way better than the potato's. Fries were crispy and had a great crunchy outside. Yummmm We ordered all this so we would have meals the next day. Totally worth it. The meat daddy JR would have been way more appropriate. Bathrooms were immaculate and had funny decor. Service was quick and bar looked like it had a nice selection. They had carbliss!
