The owner is gregarious, welcoming, friendly, engaging and attentive. The menu offers a mix of bbq pork, brisket, chicken in various forms, salads and homemade deserts. Our food came out quickly. The owner checked on us. The cole slaw is phenomenal - creamy, thick with lots of flavor and not too sweet. The owner's wife makes the cole slaw. Maybe best I've had. I ordered the pork tips because I didn't want bread. The tips are flavorful but you have to be willing to eat around the fat and bones. I loved the tips with the North Carolina mustard sauce. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich. There was a lot of meat on the sandwich and the roll was fresh. The bbq sauces are phenomenal. My husband loved the spicy hot sauce. The restaurant is decorated in western bbq theme. The tables are clean and stocked with sauces and paper towels. There are also a couple picnic tables outside if you want to eat with your dog. The restroom is clean. I highly recommend, and I'll be back.

I had work out at Heritage Lake and decided to take my husband along and looked up restaurants in the area. The setting was beautiful, a slow day on the lake--no boats and a gentle lapping wave of the lake with warmish fall sun. They had a happy hour menu, being the bargain lady that I am--was excited to try! Well, we were greeted by our server and we ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc which she told us they were out of, we managed to go down the roster of wines which they were all out of with the exception of Pinot Grigio. Disappointed--we ordered it anyway since the happy hour special was 25 dollar bottles. I was hoping to have the special breaded tenderloin sandwich, but realized it was only on special on Monday's. We were thrilled to see an entree of walleye, watermelon, cucumber and onion salad plus fried biscuits and apple butter on the menu! We didn't hesitate to order it to share , as walleye is one of our favorites! They also had corn chowder--which sounded great to me. So I ordered it. Our wine arrived with two very cloudy stemless glasses. We both looked at the glasses with slight fear and we both simultaneously picked up our napkins to wipe them off. My husband's glass was dirty--like dirty, dirty. The napkin was pink with lipstick residue and strawberry seeds. I immediately took the glasses back to the bar to exchange for moderately clean ones. Strike one. The food came and didn't look terrible. I'm sorry, but I took one bite of that fish and knew immediately it was not walleye. It tasted definitively of perch--which I have never been a fan of. Have you ever had a brown corn chowder? I haven't, but I was willing to give it a try--two bites and I was not impressed and abandoned it. The French fries were the best part of the meal, unfortunately. Thank God for the wine! Did we complain? No. We weren't in the mood and I was too tired. But the server did ask if I disliked the soup. I couldn't lie. She immediately took it off the bill. And my husband, being the observant one noticed something white in the bottom of the watermelon bowl. Unsure what it was, he picked it up and it seemed to be a piece of raw fish. Could be wrong but it definitely was out of place in a bowl of watermelon. And when the server brought the handheld register--she preselected the 25% . I'm sorry, she was good but not great. I gave her 20%, even though I was very put off by her thinking she was worth 25%. Plus, on the ticket, it had suggested tip amounts based on the after tax amount. I have always been taught it was on the subtotal. I dunno--that kind of rubbed me wrong. I would return possibly for cocktails maybe, but I will definitely leave the food alone.

I figure if this guy is standing in a blizzard to get some bbq - I gotta get in there. I pull a u-turn and head back to the restaurant parking lot. Fighting the blizzard to get inside - I can see now that it isn't a guy - it's a dummy - well one of us was a dummy. I went into this cavernous joint and was met by half-a-dozen pink steel pigs. I knew I was in the right place. I ordered rib tip dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Those were the meatest rib tips I ever had. They were think and smoky and soon the blizzard melted away. I was hooked. Their hot sauce isn't hot - it's nothing special. This meat was way to perfect to mess with much sauce anyway. The cole slaw was creamy and amazing. The mac-n-cheese was perfect. I sat alone in this cavern of smoke-tastic delight - listening to classic rock that was eerily projected against one wall and eating the best rib-tips on the planet. I don't get out that often - but I am going to start looking for reasons to go to Westville IL.
