    Bbq sampler: pulled pork, brisket, andouille sausage, smoked chicken legs, and ribs!! MacNcheese, coleslaw and cornbread on the side!

    Upon entering the country store I was swept away by the smell of warm pecans! I felt like I was taken back in time! So many nostalgic things! Well I made my way to Big Dan's in the back upstairs! I'm a recent transplant to PA and have been dying for some good bbq! Big Dan's didn't disappoint! The people were so friendly! The food came out quickly and was good! This may be a weekend regular! I got the sampler platter to get a little taste of everything. Had food to last me a couple of days!

    Pulled pork, brisket, cornbread, baked beans, mac&cheese

    Enjoyed the "piled on" pork bbq dish and a "separated" pork bbq dish. Both were delicious!

    Dan's BBQ lunch and ice cream!

    Yum, yum, yum! We stopped by for lunch and we got such a delicious treat! Our catering event went to well last year, we couldn't wait to try the location at the farm market! We had a party of 8 people and Dan and his crew took care of us! Between us all, we had everything off of the menu! Pulled pork, brisket, Cole slaw, amazing Mac and cheese, hot dogs and the refreshing sweet tea. The tables in the shade were perfect for enjoying our meal! We topped it off with a yummy ice cream treat inside the farm market! Def recommend Dan's BBQ!

    BBQ was good, portions are very small. Íf you have a bigger appetite chances of you leaving hungry are pretty high!

    Had this as catering for my daughter's wedding. The couple chose it, not my first choice. The food…read morewas delicious but from there a total disaster. We initially met and discussed everything from plates and silverware to bbq sauce. The owner wrote it all down, took our deposit and then lost the paper and didn't remember he booked the event!!! Flash forward to day of event. We ask for square plates discussing at length the tiny plates that we did tasting off of and how we didn't care for those. Told there was a size a little larger we would have at the wedding. When they set the tables the dinner plate was the same as those used for hors d'oeuvres with the smallest ROUND mismatched plate set on top for salad. We had linen napkins set out they lay to the side and placed paper wrapped plastic silverware on top. Water was supposed to be on the tables was never refreshed. The Bbq sauce that we had discussed at length was not on the tables only 20 prefilled little cups were available after I asked for them. We paid extra for family style table service. This was the most unorganized service. They didn't utilize trays but carried out two bowls to a table at a time. It was a very long drawn out process. We discussed the need for a bartender was assured one was available to us for the entirety of the reception. Then day of the wedding was told they would be leaving before the end of the reception and that we needed to pay additional money to the bartenders for them to stay. We made our own desserts but requested paper products for dessert table so they would match other plates. These were the same plates we ate dinner off of. They ran out quickly and then was told they weren't contracted to provide those. I stated we had discussed it, but the owner wasn't there so our dessert table didn't have plates until they dug some out of the van..The same little square plates!!

    Don't get me wrong, the food was amazing! However, we hired them as a wedding caterer and the day…read moreof they did not deliver. Let me be clear, up until the wedding day they were amazing. Communication was good, the food was good, meeting up with them and planning was good. However, the day of they served food for an hour and then stopped serving. They then proceeded to throw out all the left over food. Our guests got one plate, didn't have enough time to get seconds before everything was thrown out. Mind you, we booked them as a caterer for a BUFFET service. They also ran out of drinks 30 minutes into the meal, and they said they "did what they were required to do". Our guests were thirsty and it wasn't until we had to have a very strong discussion with them that they went out to get more beverages. The groom had to be pulled on his special day to deal with this. Unfortunately, the wedding day was during an unexpected heat wave. Imagine that, no drinks during a heat wave? Not even water? A caterer running out of beverages during a heat wave with paid buffet service? When we went to the food tasting and left our deposit with them, they assured us that they would give us any left overs. They even suggested it would be good to bring it to the bridal party for them to eat the next day before heading home. That was a great idea, but they threw it all out. This was a big concern of ours, and they reassured me they were not like other caterers saying, "It's your food. You paid for it. It's yours." They then stated that "legally" they could not give us the food unless we had a refrigerator. We explained that the venue had a refrigerator, and they just brushed it off. They also jacked up the price by about 20% because they said they would have to hire more help to work the day of the wedding to meet requirements. However, we only saw 1 extra person from their team working there. While we weren't happy about it, we understood and we paid it trusting that everything would be taken care of. The owner was very rude, disrespectful, loud, and vulgar the day of the wedding. It was completely unwarranted and unexpected because up until then, they were great. Super kind and easy going, until the day of. They did not even let us know that drinks were running low, so that we could find a solution. We didn't find out until we were bone dry, and at that point we had a problem. Would I recommend their food? Absolutely. Very delicious. Best BBQ I ever had. Would I recommend their service? No. Sadly, they did not deliver. By the end of the night our guests were hungry, and thirsty. Not something you would expect when you pay for a premium buffet service. I am fully aware they may try to respond to this and give all the excuses as to why they did this. One of them saying that we paid "late". They require payments a month before-hand, but with the current global situation, we didn't even know we were having a wedding until 3 weeks before the date. However, we gave him the money agreed upon at that point. We paid full the day of the wedding. We complied to their requests. We provided everything they asked. Don't let their kindness fool you. It was not worth the stress the day of the wedding. It was not a good experience for the bride, the groom, the family, or the guests. ***They partner with a wine-slushy company. They were great. Good pricing and he even gave us free wine for our guests because of the situation. He even brought extra wine just in case. We ended up paying extra for it, but it was needed and we were happy to pay for it. They were prepared for the heat wave, and we recommend them fully.

    This new location on Lake Winola served up the best bbq this diner has ever had! Let's start with…read moremy favorite dish, which I did not expect...the stew. Dear, Baby Jesus. Boasting rich and comforting flavors, this concoction was an amalgam of deliciously smoked meat and veggies swimming in a pool of a savory tomato and herb broth. The next favorite, and honestly the best I've ever had - the ribs. Fall-off-the-bone, moist, saucy and full, these delightful slices of heaven sung of flavor. Before I go on sounding like I ate a meal for a village, we were treated to a lovely sampling. The meatloaf, paired with the potato salad, would be the hit of any party. Finally, and I don't know how the chef did this, but the smoked tuna was so rich and different, it reminded me of eating a fresh and expensive crab cake. Note to all who are looking for some epic bbq: check the updates for availability. It's no shock, but this locale sells out of items quickly in its TH-S run. An experience I will never forget. Thanks to the owner/chef for a fantastic dining delight!

I got the chicken, pulled pork, coleslaw, and cornbread. Everything was excellent! The portion size was huge. Glad I asked for it in a to go container because I only ate 1/4 of it & I was stuffed!! My son didn't order because he's not a big bbq eater so the owner brought out a sample of their signature New Brunswick stew. The boy doesn't eat soup either so I had to eat that too!! Lol - I'm not sorry! We got to listen to some R&B that was playing softly in the background. Soothing and not loud enough that you couldn't have a normal conversation. The dining area was clean and tidy. Loved it!

After looking up this restaurant on Google, I was so enamored by their unique menu, especially their Weeds & Seeds Salad that I was dying to dine at this Farm to Table Restaurant. Thankfully, my sweet coworkers made my wish come true! We were a large group of 8 and shared the: 1) Local Cheese Plate (Changes daily, we had Aged Cheddar, Starlight, St. Malachi, and the Black & Blue; $14) 2) Beets W/ Goat Cheese and Dill ($7) The starters we ordered were all so delicious! Of the cheeses, my favorite was the St. Malachi. I've never tried this one before and it was so flavorful, a bit tender and nutty. You have to try this if you haven't yet! For myself, of course I had to order the Weeds & Seeds Salad (Wild Salad Mix, Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Bee Pollen, Edible Blossoms, Honey Mustard Vinaigrette; $8). This salad was a dream, to say the least! Not only did it look beautiful, but it tasted amazing! It was unlike any salad I have ever tried before. I loved the light Honey Mustard Vinaigrette and the touch of Bee Pollen. For my main dish, I ordered the Rainbow Trout (Trout Filets Dusted with Sumac and Pan Seared Topped with Vanilla Buerre Blanc and Red Raspberry Gastrique; $25) W/ Hot Greens and Cold Veggie as my two accompaniments. The trout was so delectable and unique. I loved the taste of the vanilla with the raspberry together, such complementary flavors! The Hot Greens and Cold Veggie were also really delicious. For dessert I tried their Shiso-Basil Creme Brulee ($6). Can I just say, what a marvelous combo? I am obsessed with Shiso leaves, but have only had them with sashimi. Never have I seen it used in a dessert. This Creme Brulee just tasted so perfect that I wanted to order another one, but didn't want my coworkers to judge me haha. The chef here is just so talented and the customer service was outstanding. The interior of the restaurant is so charming, a bit rustic and minimalistic and I loved the touch of fresh flavors at every table. Could not praise nor express my love for this restaurant more. Thank you for such a lovely and unique experience The Blind Pig! I hope to dine here again one day!
