This review only covers three of the items on the menu. We had the ribs, fries and baked beans and 2 of the 3 were good, Unfortunately it was the ribs that were left out of that group. If I only based my review on tenderness and moisture they would be a 4 because they were moist and fall off the bone tender but the flavor was not what I like in a rib. The issue was the smoke flavor was so strong it was over powering any other flavor the ribs may have had. It was so strong that it left an aftertaste in my mouth. This comment was shared by all 7 people that were in my group so it wasn't just 1 individual rack of ribs. It was consistent in all of them. As I noted , 2 of the elements of the meal were good. The fries were fresh cut and good flavor and the baked beans were quite tasty if you like a sweeter tasting sauce and of course bacon. We may go back and try other items but we will not be getting the ribs again. If i rated this based on the sides it would be a 4 but since the ribs were the reason that we went I can only score this a 2.

The downside is they need more or larger set up as they quickly run out. If you're in the area it is worth trying. Now for the food: The mac n cheese is one of the better I've had. The potato salad is a southern mustard version, I believe. The baked beans may have cumin, I believe. At first, it wasn't bad but the cumin sort of tired me out. These sides issues are personal preference issues. If I liked their flavor they'd be good. The ribs were fall of the bone, but that shouldn't be the final judgement. The pulled pork and brisket were tender, however, all three suffered from what I'd say is a lack in flavor. I prefer more flavor to it. The bbq sauce isn't bad. I didn't have enough to really judge it. It isn't a thick sauce. I would prefer my bbq sauce to be in a container for me to apply rather than spread over my meat. Is it the best bbq in PA? No. Is it better than average? Yes, but not a top tier. Are the portions generous? For me, no, but maybe others yes. Is this the best bbq in the area? Currently, I'd say yes. Overall, would I eat here again? Yes, as they are currently the best in the local region. Will I go out of my way to eat here? Only if I have a strong urge for brisket or ribs. I honestly believe this place is between a 3 and 4, so a 3.5. Again, the people here have been very nice and try to be as accommodating as they can.

We ordered a tray, nachos and a pulled chicken sandwich. We thought we ordered the half nachos but did end up with the full. The amount of food could have fed 8 to 10 people. The atmosphere I thought was great. The staff were friendly and fun, and the prices, to us, were crazy low for the amount of food you received. I have no doubt this will be a regular for the college kids, and we will definitely be back when we come visit.

I stopped in today for lunch and based on the quality of food I have to drop my overall rating to…read morethree stars. Today I ordered a brisket sandwich. I knew the brisket was pulled and not sliced when I ordered. The brisket was the driest least flavorful brisket I have had in a long long time and I regretted my meal choice instantly. The sandwich was large and overstuffed which would have been great, except it meant I had to eat a lot of the dried out meat on its own. Even worse the amount of sauce provided was pathetic. If I had a decent amount of sauce it may have hidden the poor meat. Overall I give the brisket sandwich 1 star and do not recommend it to anyone. Another point that was a bummer was neither my sandwich or Mac and cheese were hot. Eating half cold food that's dried out is ok at a backyard bbq but when paying $15 for lunch I am looking for something of higher quality.

Definitely recommend getting the brisket! The cornbread was decent with the butter, but nothing super extraordinary to us. The mac and cheese and beans were also alright. Overall, a good place to try out if you're looking for something outside of downtown campus. Get the brisket!

The texture of the pulled pork was fine, but it was a tad flavorless. I do think the pork had…read morepotential to be pretty good, I'd say as is, a 4.5/10 for the pork on its own without any sauce. But for pork being a salty meat, we felt we needed more just to give it some flavor. Unfortunately, their salt packet container was filled exclusively with pepper (this is easily correctable and does not factor into our score). The brisket texture was OK and had a decent color and smoky flavor to it, though it may have been slightly overdone, as it was very dry. If I were to describe the flavor it would be Jack Link's Beef Jerky. The sauces were, to be blunt, not great. The mustard based sauce was pretty much just mustard. There was a ketchup based sauce that didn't offer much else. There were 2 other sauces, neither of which paired well with the 2 meats, and frankly I'm having a hard time even coming up with words to describe them. A way to improve would be a vinegar based sauce for the pulled pork (Carolina style), and offer up a reasonably spicy sauce. The biggest issue was we felt like we were chasing flavor and unable to find it, even mixing and matching sauces and meats. Prices were very reasonable for the quantities of food.
